With a push of a button, both DJs can switch between the two laptops and play at the same time between four channels. One of the coolest features of this controller is the capability to have two laptops connected simultaneously for seamless DJ hand-offs. This is a sophisticated and fun-to-use controller at an incredible value.” He added, “The LCD readouts and our one-of-a-kind touch-capacitive platters give the DJ instant feedback and ultimate control. “The NS6Il is an amazing all-new 4-channel controller with all the features, performance and flexibility any DJ needs for a great experience,” said Chris Roman, Senior Product Manager for Numark. This all-new controller strengthens Numark’s reputation for innovation, performance and fun with features like dual USB ports and the full version of Serato DJ. It can now be yours and is available for immediate shipping at a price of $799. Limited, but fun.Back in March, we covered the announcement of Numark’s NS6II 4-Channel Serato DJ Controller. A basic controller no wider than the laptop you’ll use it with that’s easy to throw into a bag, and that’s fun to DJ with across two decks in Serato. There’s a simple push rotary encoder with 1 and 2 load buttons for library browsing – and really, that’s it. Buttons are all backlit and it looks quite nice when all powered up. Each channel has a volume control but no EQs, and a headphone selector button for cueing. The buttons are all hard plastic, including the four “pads” which are really just switches, controlling auto loop, manual loop, four hot cues, and four sample slots. This is a huge improvement over the DJ2GO2 – indeed, it’s the only change. ![]() This means that you can nudge your tracks using the edge of the wheel, and scratch using the metal top part. It may be basic, but it has all you need to mix and mix well – I know of radio DJs who play on national commercial radio who prepare their mixes on this on planes and in hotel rooms which then get broadcast.Įach deck has play/pause, cue and sync buttons, a short-throw but acceptable pitch control, and – crucially for this new version – a touch-sensitive jogwheel. In Use The DJ2GO2 Touch has a USB port for connecting to your laptop, an 1/8″ headphone jack and an 1/8″ master output for connecting to speakers. To get music into it you need a local music collection, or a paid subscription to Tidal or SoundCloud, allowing you to DJ with streaming music – Tidal being the best choice for a beginner DJ with no music of their own, as you can usually get at least a month’s free trial and then it’s around US$10 a month.Įither way, with your headphones plugged in, a speaker wired up, software downloaded and music hooked up, you’re ready to go. You can’t use this with your computer’s built-in speaker easily you do need an external speaker. You’ll need a speaker that can accept an Aux In, and the supplied lead is 2 x RCA, so if your portable Bluetooth speaker (for instance) has the more typical minijack aux in, you’ll need a different lead to the one in the box to get it working. We didn’t just improve an already great DJ controllerwe created the NV II. In addition the NV II adds a 5-column sort to view your music 3 columns at time by song, artist, time, bpm and key. In the box is the controller, a minijack to RCA audio lead for plugging in your speaker or speakers, an old-style USB lead for plugging in to your Mac or PC, and a card detailing how to get your Serato DJ Lite software, which is free. Aside from cool look and those great 4.3-inch full-color screens, the NV II adds gridlines on the screens so you can seamlessly beat match your tracks. They’re insanely useful! Now read on for more detail… The short version of this review is: If you don’t own one of these (or the Hercules Starlight, which is a very similar controller) and you’re a Serato user, buy one. Numark’s DJ2GO2 Touch is the latest incarnation of the company’s popular pocket controller for Serato DJ, that adds a crucial new feature over the DJ2GO2 – touch-sensitive jogwheels. ![]()
