No longer available at zZounds
It's a MIDI controller for your laptop or iPad DJ software, a standalone analog mixer, and USB thumb drive DJ system -- all in one! Serato DJ Intro included.

Get people moving on the dance floor -- the Numark Mixdeck Quad is a complete DJ system with a four-channel mixer that will put you in complete control at any gig. Based upon the popular Mixdeck controller, the Mixdeck Quad kicks it up a notch by adding support for core MIDI on the iPad, opening the world of apps like Algoriddim's djay to your DJ rig. In addition they added a fully functional four-channel digital/analog MIDI mixer, allowing total control of both the iPad and DJ software while mixing from CD, thumb drives, mics, or external sources.

Play Anything

Mixdeck Quad comes complete with Serato DJ Intro software and is pre-mapped for Traktor Pro 2 and VirtualDJ Pro, so from the moment you open the box and connect to your computer, you're spinning tracks digitally. In addition, you can play from virtually any kind of media with Mixdeck Quad including CDs, MP3 CDs, USB flash drives and of course, the iPad. BPM analyzation and Tap Tempo ensure that you never miss a beat. With Mixdeck Quad you can control your favorite MIDI software, with no timecode needed, using a simple USB connection.

Crossplay Technology

With Mixdeck Quad you can play USB content from either port on either deck. This innovative Crossplay technology frees you up to use your USB tracks like all your other music: mix and match, play tracks simultaneously and keep the room's energy peaked.

On top of playing all kinds of music media, each one of Mixdeck Quad's decks enables you to add flavor to read more your performances with integrated, beat-synced DSP effects that include chop, echo, filter, flanger, pan, and phaser. Each is completely adjustable and a dedicated wet-dry fader controls them all.

Pitch Power

Mixdeck Quad contains a set of beat and pitch tools that will help you with beat matching and harmonic mixing. Start playing a track and Mixdeck Quad automatically analyzes its BPM (tempo), and displays it on screen. There's also a Tap tempo button for manual BPM entry. You can alter the track's BPM by +/-6, 12, 25, and 100% using the pitch fader. For each of those ranges, you can also engage Key Lock, which holds the pitch (key) of the track while you independently manipulate its BPM. There's also a set of pitch-bend buttons on each track for quick tweaks.

Mighty Mixer

Mixdeck Quad has a full-featured four-channel mixer built right in. Each input channel has its own gain and three-band EQ/rotary kills (+12dB/ -INF). The mixer channels control the audio from Mixdeck Quad's onboard players, incoming audio from your computer, or external sources such as turntables, MP3s players and more. Mixdeck Quad has two sets of stereo, switchable phono/line inputs for external sources. Mixdeck Quad's replacable crossfader has switchable slope and reverse so you can customize its performance based on your preferences.

Real-Time Remixing

Mixdeck Quad gives you a complete range of remixing tools for on-the-fly creativity, including seamless looping on a set of easy-to-understand controls, sampling, and easily accessible hot cues. Numark's familiar Bleep/Reverse gives you the ability to keep time moving forward while you cut or reverse the track.

You can play tracks from discs in single-track, continuous, and programmable playback modes for flexible performance. Fader Start enables Mixdeck Quad to start playing the track you have cued up when you move the crossfader for effortless transitions. You can also use Fader Start with compatible CD players connected to Mixdeck Quad's inputs.

High Performance

There is so much you can do with Mixdeck Quad because Numark jammed it full of world-class features like DSP effects with wet-dry fader, chop, echo, filter, flanger, pan and phaser. It also has smooth, fast, slot-loading drives with large, touch-sensitive illuminated platters so that the moment your fingers touch the platter, you know your performance is on. You can work the room thanks to Mixdeck Quad's 1/4-inch mic input with its own gain and +/-15dB high and low EQ. There's also a complete cueing section with dual 1/8 and 1/4-inch headphone outputs, dedicated cue gain, and mini-crossfader control. You'll also never miss what's happening with Mixdeck Quad thanks to its two large, backlit displays.

Mixdeck Quad has a flexible output section too. Balanced XLR and unbalanced RCA stereo main outputs along with Booth and Record RCA outs allow for sending your mix to different locations and systems, including recording to your iPod. There's also a direct stereo output from each deck for use with timecode control interfaces including Serato DJ software or external effects processors.

Mixdeck Quad gives you the ability to perform, mix, remix, and record with virtually any popular music media. Whether you play parties, clubs, events, or in a group, Mixdeck Quad also gives you the freedom to DJ from nearly any source all in one unit, with the flexibility to add on and expand as much as you like.

A complete DJ system that sounds great, looks great, easy to use with plenty of features at an affordable price compared to most DJ system... Great build quality and overall... An amazing product... You should stop reading this and put one in your cart now if you are serious about DJing...

Sound
This system sounds amazing... I'm an Audiophile so I pay attention to detail when it comes to sound... No clicks, buzzing or other types of background noise... Just clean, crisp sound with enough bass... This product can definitely deliver an exceptional quality sound overall specially with hard thumping music like hip hop or some dubstep where bass is used a lot in the mix...

Features
It pretty much has it all... Not only is it a MIDI controller for Serato DJ Intro and other DJ software out there... But you can also use CD/MP3, Flash Drive, External HDD, 4th Gen Ipods, Iphones, and Ipad... You can even use the Mixer as a stand alone analog mixer... Plug in two turntables and you're good to go... It's nice having the mic input up front with some EQs as well as an independent mic input on the mixer itself just in case you need a second one... It's really features galore...

Ease of Use
Everything was easy... From using it with Serato DJ Intro to the Flash Drives and so on... Everything is plug and play... Hooked it up to my laptop and the drivers installed automatically both in Windows 7 and Mac read more OS X... Serato recognized the gear immediately and everything was completely mapped out already including the FX... If you can work a cell phone or a computer... You can work this thing...

Quality
This is probably the only negative thing I will say about this product... The knobs do wobble just a very tiny bit but nothing bad to where it can affect your performance... The whole thing is made out of hard plastic... But overall, it's still a quality build... You can tell it's well made regardless of those negative things I mentioned... Buttons feels right... The platter is nice and weighted... Smooth and responsive... The crossfader is a little weighted also but smooth and can definitely be used for scratching... Also it is replaceable... Overall, great build quality...

Value
This thing can easily be worth more... You get so much for what you pay for... It's so versatile yet it's affordable if you are serious about DJing...

Manufacturer Support
I've owned a variety of Numark products and let's just say I never had to use this aspect of it... :)

The Wow Factor
This thing is sexy... Specially when the lights are dimmed down... The overall look of it is gorgeous... But it's amount of options you have that Wowed me...
