Unlike conventional mixers, the DN-X1100 no longer requires DJs to be 'married ' to any particular channel for a given input. The unit's eight separate input sources are freely assignable to any channel, or even multiple channels, providing considerable flexibility.
A companion piece to Denon DJ's new DN-S3700 Digital Media Turntable, the DN-X1100 is a professional 12" tabletop / rack-mountable analogue mixer that provides users with a groundbreaking array of technologies and features. In addition to its eight analogue line inputs and three phono switchable capability, the DN-X1100 features a High Performance 'Flex fader' (crossfader) with tension adjustment. Four smooth 60 mm VCA channel faders provide level control, and a responsive 45 mm VCA crossfader offers contour adjustment.
For added flexibility, the crossfader features A-B Post Channel assignment capability, and the Channel Fader-Start Trigger is compatible with all Denon DJ CD/MP3/Media players. Additionally, thanks to its channel fader contour controls, the DN-X1100 allows DJs to express their craft with the subtlest and most effective touches, permitting them, for instance, to utilize a slower contour for seamlessly smooth traditional style fade-ins, as well as execute crowd-pleasing audio cuts for performance scratching.
