Designed as an ultimate DJ performance tool, the Denon DN-X1700 boasts standards of quality, control and performance exceeding anything that has gone before, says the company. Years of collaboration with top professional DJs around the world have gone into the development and engineering of this. Joining the DN-X1700, the Denon DN-S3700 is a direct drive, digital media turntable and USB / MIDI controller.
The DN-X1700 is a highly ergonomic 4-channel 'industry standard' size tabletop mixer. It's spacious, highly tactile control layout features studio quality 60 mm Alps K Series channel faders and a 45 mm FLEX cross fader, large high quality rubberized control knobs with LED ring metering, a high visibility 3.5 inch TFT colour LCD display and extended 24 point LED channel and output metering. Headline performance features include exceptional signal processing technology, independent parametric three-band EQ with Kill on every channel, two built-in independent and combinable EFX processors, two USB2.0 audio and MIDI control interfaces, and Matrix Input Assignment - with digital input and MIDI / USB audio.
The most conspicuous feature of the Denon DN-S3700 is its 9" direct drive real vinyl platter; complete with (replaceable) slipmat. Coupled with Denon's proprietary High Torque Direct Drive Motor design, the platter "brings unparalleled turntable simulation to CD, sound files and software control". The design integrates an ultra high-resolution pulse sensor mechanism to accurately reproduce the subtlest and swiftest scratching movements possible with the human hand, says the company.
Denon DJ Europe product marketing manager, David Morbey, comments:"These two new flagship products place Denon DJ firmly in pole position in the professional market sector. Together they herald a next generation product family, with forthcoming releases destined to reinforce the brand's position still further."
