Numark this week will introduce the iDJ2, a new version of the company’s professional iPod mixing console. Unlike the original iDJ, the new iDJ2 features only one iPod dock, but can play two songs simultaneously from a single iPod. The mixer provides real-time scratch, pitch control, looping, and full cueing of music from the docked iPod.
Numark said iDJ2 owners can also use USB devices such as hard drives for music playback via rear panel USB ports. Other features include an LCD screen that offers waveform display and visual track-profiling, line inputs for any audio source, and the ability to record musical performances to a docked iPod or any connected USB drive. The iDJ2 supports MP3, Ogg Vorbis, and AAC (non-DRM) formats. Numark said the iDJ2 will be released in August, but has not yet announced pricing.

so is WAV file formatted NOT supported then ?
That would be a deal-breaker for me…

My suggestion would be: drop all your MP3s on a HD and check out Numar kHDX…

I called Numark. This will ship in March 2007. Cost around $600 US give or take depending where you buy it. Should be a very cool device...but I will wait for a few reviews to pour in and look over the manual before I buy it for that much...hopefuly it will fulfil everyones dreams!

Hi, guys…
Is it so that this “AAC-files not supported” - thing means those songs that have been bought from Apple iTunes? So, if I buy something from the iTunes then I cannot play them from my iPod thru this iDj2? What could be the reason for this? Is it so that the Djs are not welcome to the iTunes-shop any more?…

I spoke to Numark. The price is $899.00 and it will be released in June. I am one of the few who still spins records. This is good for small gigs and for traveling. I would suggest using hard drives instead of the Ipod. Two 7200rpm usb drives with about 40gigs should do the trick depending on your collection. If I am doing a big gig, its no problem for me to bring two flight cases each holding 200 records. I was very reluctant to go to cds as it still took some of my performance away but I think this product is good. Just the thought of having 10,000 songs on either an Ipod or hard drive that you can take the entire unit on a plane, walk into a venue and have them give you a line to the mixer is remarkable.
