Fab 4
Traktor Scratch DUO comes with AUDIO 4 DJ, a superior USB bus-powered audio interface built specifically for DJing. This low-latency 24-bit/96 kHz interface uses high-end Cirrus Logic(R) AD/DA converters for pristine audio quality - just like its multi award-winning big brother AUDIO 8 DJ. Four switchable inputs and four hi-gain (9.7 dBu) outputs let you connect to an external mixer and turntables or CD decks in seconds.

Digital Tracks On Wax
Traktor Scratch DUO enables you to seamlessly fuse analog and digital DJing. The 2 kHz control signal of the included vinyl and CDs is twice the resolution of the competitors. This unmatched responsiveness means that everything from slow rubs to quick backspins and even motor-offs responds just like vinyl. Pressed with extreme care onto high-quality 120g discs, it feels like each digital file is cut into the wax.

Easy Setup
Traktor Scratch DUO is designed for easy set up and comes with a dedicated set of high-quality Multicore cables. Within seconds, you can hook up the AUDIO 4 DJ to your turntables / CD players and mixer and you're ready to rock. And with the included Traktor DUO software you can also spin without CD decks and turntables using the internal mixer- perfect for preparing a set or rocking an after party.

Scratch Library
Traktor Scratch DUO comes with a dedicated Scratch Library. The included exclusive audio material offers instant usability and unique features for all turntablists. Over 700 MB of sounds recorded in 24 bit / 96 kHz audio quality are itching to be Scratched and include many lead sounds for solo Scratching as well as sound FX, endless tones, tunes for juggling, loops and more. zZounds is an authorized dealer of Native Instruments products.
