On the audio front, the show marks the first time the American Audio VMS4 arrives on the market. This versatile four-channel 'MIDILOG' controller fuses both MIDI and analogue audio control into one sleek unit. Billed as "the ultimate DJ performance tool," the VMS4 can be used with either a PC or MAC. If the computer crashes, it will kick into analogue mode, where CD players or turntables may be used, or a DJ can use an external power supply. The unit can also be personalised with the option of customised skins.
The 2010 International DJ Expo will also serve as a launch party for ADJ University, a new online educational programme that takes its 'students' through an A-Z guide to using lighting and audio products in a variety of effective ways; from programming a memorable lighting show to equipment maintenance and everything in between.
