PRESS RELEASE
D² Director Mass Storage Player And Manager
April 07, 2006
Advertisement Numark, the world's leading brand of professional DJ equipment and the driving force behind the high-tech musical revolution, introduces the most centralized professional DJ mass storage player and manager, D² (pronounced D-"squared") director. With support for iPod™, Memory Stick™ media, and external USB hard drives, Numark's D² Director will forever change the DJs performance set-up and mind-set. D² Director is a single rack-mountable 3U console featuring one oversized LCD display coupled with a revolutionary user interface. The new plug and play design allows the user to simply search for music on any USB mass storage device and add songs to a single master play list. Using the single master play list, songs are automatically directed to two built-in play control surfaces, ultimately simplifying the DJ performance experience. D² Director is complete with a ground-breaking new graphic user interface which includes real-time visuals of track profiles and waveforms. Six soft touch buttons around the D² Director's display screen provide the DJ with control over a variety of features such as effects, song management, and hard drive management. Professional player features include scratch, seamless looping, smart loop, Beatkeeper™ technology with tap override function, pitch control (±100%), and key lock. The D² Director allows the DJ to record their performance on to any connected hard drive through one of the USB ports. This allows the user to record their performance on the D² Director while performing. The D² Director includes one USB connector on the front panel and two additional USB ports on the rear panel which can be expanded through the use of a USB hub (sold separately). The USB connectivity delivers a wide variety of music storage and sourcing options. This includes, but is not limited to, linking the D² Director to the DJs iPod™, and external USB hard drives. The DJ could also add a computer keyboard for simplified song search. In addition the rear panel includes line level outputs for both players. The D² Director supports MP3, Ogg Vorbis and AAC (non-DRM) formats. For more information, visit their web site at http://www.numark.com/.
