Product Description

Power to Move. Music has touched the deepest parts of the human cortex since the dawn of time. Cortex is proud to bring you the smartest DJ equipment on this planet. The music world is yours to rule. Own it

Features
iPod® Dock - The Dmix-300 can be used as an iPod® computer dock to transfer files to your iPod® without having to remove it from your dMIX! The unit comes with supports for both standard (3g and above) iPod® s, as well as iPod® Mini’s and Nano’s.

Firmware Upgradeable - The dMIX’s internal software can be upgraded simply by downloading new software, FREE from the Cortex website.

Cross-Platform USB Connectivity - The dMIX offers the ability to manipulate music stored on USB devices such as hard drives, flash memory, optical drives, and personal music players, regardless of platform.

Jog Wheel - With the Tri-Mode Jog Wheel, users can search, pitch bend or even scratch just as if it were a vinyl turntable!

Database-Driven Music Management - The dMIX-300 uses a database management system that allows the user to search through a massive library of music within seconds, by artist, title, genre, album or even by string.

Playlist Support - Easily make Playlists and sort songs based on Artist, Genre, etc., via your computer for use on your dMIX-300 unit with our Database Software SE a FREE download from the Cortex website.

CD-Audio and CD-R/DVD-R Support - No need to abandon the CD collection, the dMIX-300 is able to play audio CDs or user-created CD-Rs or DVD-Rs loaded with MP3 or WAV music files with any compatible USB CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive.

Keyboard Support - Quickly find that hot new track in a massive library of music with just a few taps of a USB-compatible keyboard.

VBR & CBR File Support - The dMIX-300 can play all your MP3's; CBR or VBR at any bitrate up to 320kbps.

Multi-language Support - The dMIX-300 supports multiple languages including English, French, and Spanish.

Ultra-fast Instant Start - From Cue to Start, get into the mix with no delay.

Adjustable Autofade - Easily Autofade from one track to another in a Playlist; adjustable from 1 to 12 seconds.

Backlit LCD Display - The brightly illuminated, backlit LCD main playback screen displays info on any track in the catalog, showing everything from the essentials such as artist, track title, pitch, time elapsed/remaining to detailed information including file format (MP3 or WAV), genre, and track length. This display allows more extensive visualization of parameters than a conventional CD player.

PC-Based Database Creation - Databases can be created via the HDC unit or the PC application, allowing users to create and manage database files at a gig, or on a home computer with lightning fast speed.

Search Options - The cataloging system gives you several browsing options, including Search by Artist, Song, Title, Album, and Genre. This system allows users to search the same way they would using an iPod™ or similar portable music player.

File Explorer Mode - Allows users to browse through files and directories as if they were using a computer, showing them the directory structure and file names exactly as they exist on the storage device. DJs with their own organizational system can navigate it quicker than using the database.

String Search - Users can search by a certain word or phrase to find tracks on their storage device, even if they're unsure of the name. When the user inputs a keyword, it will search all Artists, Titles, Albums, and Genres, and show all matches to that keyword. For instance, searching for the word 'LOVE' might bring up (3) artists. It might also find (60) titles, (10) albums and (1) genre. The user can then select the artists, titles, albums, or genres from that list.

Storage Device Selection - Take a client's request from his iPod or USB memory flash drive, plug it in, and play it right away without having to reboot the unit. With an iPod Dock and one USB ports (and support for up to 4 devices when using a USB hub), the dMIX-300 unit allows users to connect and recognize multiple storage devices to access a variety of separate music databases simultaneously.

Cue Point Management - Cue points can be set like a normal CD player, so that the DJ can return to a certain time in the track just by pressing a button. Cue points may also be saved permanently to the connected storage device, allowing them to load with a track automatically.

RCA Outputs for Master, Booth, and Record - Quick and easy connectivity to almost any amplification source, monitor set-up, or recording device.

3 Band EQ / Gain section - Easily isolate or accentuate Treble, Midrange, and Bass frequencies on each channel while ‘in the mix’ for optimum functionality and creativity. Set your optimum audio volume prior to the line faders on each channel.

Super Smooth Cross Fader with Selectable Curve - Premium Super Smooth Crossfader with Selectable Curve allows users ultimate flexibility and functionality to personalize their mixes.

Performance Protection - Every Cortex unit features exclusive protection from accidental shutdown while playing, securing your precious digital files from sudden corruption and preserving your performance. To turn the unit off, simply press and hold the power button for more than 2 seconds. zZounds is an authorized dealer of Cortex products.

What Our Customers Are Saying About zZounds "I "discovered" zZounds about 2 years ago & was curious about their "Play as you Pay" installment plan. I am a musician so, I am sometimes strapped for cash. Without this plan I would have never been able to get the gear I need!" - customer on May 8th, 2012
Customer Reviews
5 out of 5 (21 ratings) Rate and Review This Product
"Good, but there's better to come!"
Feature: OK here's the downfall of this product. (IMHO) - This does not have a master tempo. If you increase the "speed" of a song, to match beat with another song, the "pitch" of the song changes, eg, it sounds Sqweeky. - It cant write to NTFS partitions. Not Nerd PC talk, if you got your PC off dell, and want to use that hard drive, it can play the files, but not write tags to it, or save playlists, or record the entire session. Overall: Well good for the price i guess, but for the slightly more serious DJ out there, wait until January 23, the DMIX 600 is out, with master tempo, and effets etc. Im waiting for it. Enough said.
