NAMM 2010 – New Toys!
January 14, 2010 by Ian
As I expected, a huge number of new toys are on show at the Namm 2010 Show. Here’s a very basic rundown of what’s new so far…
NUMARK
- Numark NDX-800 – MP3/CD/USB and MIDI controller. Think of it to be something like the Denon DN-S1200 but with a 7″ platter.
- Numark MIXDECK – The MIXDECK is a junior version of the NS7. It basically comprises of a pair of NDX-800’s with a little mixer in the middle with the added benefit of an iPod dock. It comes with, like the NDX-800, Traktor Numark Edition.
- Numark V7 – Ok, now take an NS7 and with a chainsaw cut off one of the decks. The small bit you cut off is a V7. A bigger version of the NDX-800 but also an ITCH controller. It also features the effects and so on found on the NS7.
- Numark X7 - Ideally suited to sit twixt a pair of V7’s it’s basically a 4ch version of the 2ch mixer you see on the NS7 with a few more bits thrown in for good measure! It’s still currently under development and hopes to set the world alight when it’s released some time later this year. Will it have the Pioneer 800 owners quaking in their boots? Probably not, but the V7 and X7 is aimed directly at CDJ owners.
DENON
- DN-X1600 – Take the luxurious DN-X1700 that is crammed with uber-brilliant DJ’ing technology and offload some of it. Add V-LINK (a kind of MIDI interface for video devices) and ta-daaaah!
- …and that’s it…for now!
BEHRINGER
- VMX1000USB – It’s basically an updated version of the popular VMX1000 although probably (and hopefully) better built. Click on the provided link to find out what it does…it’s quite feature packed and may tempt those who are currently looking at DENON to replace the X500 with a USB model.
