Back to Product Information

Sound: The sound is great! Very clear, and it mostly sounds just like what you hear from your ipod via the headphones. We have had no complaints about the sound. Feature: The product comes with no accessories, but then again, none are needed. Everything you need to DJ with this unit is actually on the unit. The only thing we added were speakers and a microphone. The only complaint I have with the idj is the beat match feature, but we really don't need it for what we use it for. No one has ever compained that the beats didn't match when switching from one song to another. Ease of Use: This unit is absolutely simple to use. I have a group of 14-15 year olds that are the DJ's (a Girl Scout troop), and they run everything themselves, from getting the right music, to setting up and breaking down. They have never had a problem. Quality: We used this unit for 6 years, without any problems, and as I said, these were young teenagers using it. Just recently, it has started to stop during a song on rare occasion. We love it so much that I just bought a new one to replace it. You cannot beat the price, at $150.00! It is such a bargain, as we make at least that on one dj dance or party. Value: Absolutely! Like I said, for $150.00, it's what we make in one DJ job, so the value is incredible. Other DJ units are way more expensive, so this is the way to go if you're not a professional. Manufacturer Support: We have never had to contact the company, so I can't answer this. The Wow Factor: This is the coolest-looking dj unit ever! People stop and stare at it, and always ask about it. Especially teenagers. They're fascinated by the lights and the fact that it uses ipods. Overall: I just replaced the unit with another one exactly like it. For the price, it's unbeatable. We had it for 6 years, and it just recently began to stop during a song on rare occasion, so we replaced it to be safe. I researched other similar items, but none were as easy to use, or as cheap to purchase.

The Wow Factor

Musical Background: Trivia Host & Event DJ

Music Style: I play everything

Back to Product Information

Sound: I have no complaints with the sound quality from this unit. Obvisouly the quality of the MP3 file being played is the most important factor here. Feature: It is very bare bones, simple crossfader, simple bass/mid/high control and mic level control. For the price range though their aren't going to be a lot of bells and whistles. Ease of Use: Exceptionally easy to use, the biggest thing you can do to help yourself out is to organize your iTunes music and make sure all the names are correct before you start. Quality: I've only been using mine for 2 months now but thus far the quality is great and I have no complaints. I'm rating it an 8 simply because I haven't used it long enough to fairly judge. Value: Compared to what I paid for my previous Stanton CD players and mixer this is an exceptional value. If you are a trivia host, bar DJ, or someone looking for a basic entry level system this is the way to go. Manufacturer Support: Again I'm tossing out an average number here of 8 simply because I've never had to deal with Numark because I've never had any issues. The Wow Factor: It looks visually appealing, the blue backlight draws the eye. I recently DJ'd a car show and awards dinner and had many people come up to me asking about the equipment and commenting on how much they liked the iDJ unit. Overall: If the next few months are as smooth and flawless as the first few have been I'll be extrememly pleased with the iDJ. I'm planning on buying a 2nd one soon to keep in my equipment case as a back up.

Musical Background: Hobbyist

Back to Product Information

Sound: It pretty much sounds fine. I can't detect any flaws in the sound reproduced from the IPod, but then again it was amplified and transmitted through my home stereo. Feature: The package came with the very, very bare essentials to play with. But who has or travels with 2 IPods and what DJ mixes without pitch control or some way of matching BPMs?! That is the most essential part of calling anything a MIXING console. This is nothing but a glorified crossfader for IPods...until I can figure out how to connect a hard drive and scroll through the listing of sound files without a display on the unit. A couple of RCA line in/out cables would've been a nice addition as well. Ease of Use: Extremely easy, except for how to connect a hard drive and view/select the files. Plus NO pitch controls. Quality: Clean, ergonomic layout...even down to the spindle hole underneath to lay the console on top of a turntable. Value: No, I think for the features provided the price point is set too high. The Wow Factor: It's a pretty hot looking item. An eyecatcher actually. Definitely makes you look twice. But like I said before, "Who runs around with 2 IPods?!" The Numark iDJ2 will be THE mixing console to get with IPod fans everywhere. But for mixing off any harddrive, I'd rather have the all in one Numark HDMIX when it becomes available. Overall: I only got this to test out since the iDJ2 and HDMIX aren't available yet. I doubt I'll ever use it again after that. This is more of an IPod novelty than anything else.

The Wow Factor

Back to Product Information

Feature: Here's the deal, To a "DJ" one of the most, if not the most important tool you can use is the pitch control. We use the pitch control to "beat match" which enables us to create "seamless" mixes (only in some instances, if you are a turntablist do you not use this feature, which most dj's are not). These "seamless mixes" which you advertise and claim to be able to do with this product can't happen when beats are colliding around and slamming into each other. That's what we call a seam, or trainwreck. I travel quite extensively and bought this product so that i might play with new songs away from home without having to lug my tables wherever i go (unrealistic- aint gonna happen) but the thought of this idj actually being able to serve it's purpose was so exciting to me i bought it in the hopes that i could play-away (from home). Yes, i know what you're thinking, and you're right, i should have done extensive research on this product before i wasted my money. And, unfortunately, because of when i bought the idj and where i am now, and for how long i'm going to be here, the money is unrecoverable, because I would return it in a heartbeat. Your idj is really only good for playing bah-mitz-vahs(sp?) My challenge to you is to answer this question, "Why would you put your name on a product like this, and advertise it as the idj that creates seamless mixes?" Yes, i bought the idj because "Numark" is a respected name in the dj business, and has been for years. But advertising the idj the way you do or to even have your name on this idj tarnishes your name until you get with apple and fix this problem. If the idj could actually do what you advertise it does i'd buy two of them. But unfortunately, until you fix this problem i will never buy a Numark product again. I'm astonished that you would put your name on the idj and advertise it the way you do. The potential for this product and it's compactability and travel-and-goness is through the roof. I'm sadened to have to write this but it is no good. The Wow Factor: I want it yes but so far the sheer genius of it falls through the floor.
