Mackie d.2 Mackie d.2 Description: The d.2
is the world's best-sounding, best-built 2-channel DJ mixer. It's also
the first DJ mixer with a FireWire option, letting you
mix and record music directly to and from your Mac
or PC laptop or desktop. Among the d.2's standout features
are a clean, intuitive layout, bulletproof construction, premium analog VCA
circuitry, and ultra high-performance components. Just a few of these
standout components include: An Infinium® optical, no-contact crossfader with
adjustable tension Mackie-designed mic and turntable preamps with superior
detail and maximum "punch" Smooth analog EQ with full
kill capabilities Optional FireWire I/O card for recording and
playback of 24-bit audio directly to Mac or PC
3-position spring-loaded Transform switches A solid 14-gauge all-steel chassis
(thicker than Vestax, Rane, etc.) The d.2 is
the world's first DJ mixer to incorporate the revolutionary Infinium
optical crossfader with adjustable tension. Based on the world's first
optical, no-contact design, the Infinium crossfader delivers precise, ultra-smooth response
for years... no matter how much you scratch. And without
the risk of dust and grime deteriorating its audio performance,
this crossfader will sound as good in 10 years as
the day you bought your mixer. The Infinium crossfader features
an adjustable tension control which can be set using a
small screwdriver. So you can customize the fader feel to
be as loose or tight as you desire. The d.2
uses an all-analog Voltage-Controlled Amplifier (VCA) design with ultra high-performance
components, tuned to provide the maximum headroom and lowest noise
of any mixer in its class. Thanks to its VCA
design, the d.2 is immune to the deterioration in sound
quality plaguing traditional DJ mixers. Dust particles and the general
crud of life will wreck old-school faders - but VCA
faders power right through these obstacles night after night, year
after year, to deliver rock-solid performance with zero audio degradation.
VCAs also let you fine-tune the curves of all three
faders to perfectly suit your style, and even reverse them
via conveniently positioned controls. The d.2 is the world's first
mixer with an optional FireWire computer connection. With the FireWire
card installed, you can connect the d.2 mixer to any
Mac or PC (Mac OSX 10.3.5 and higher, Windows XP)
to directly play back music from almost any music software
application - including Traktor, Serato, Live, iTunes, and Windows Media
Player. You just set the Input Select switch at the
top of either or both channels to "FireWire," and mix
two stereo tracks directly from your computer. The FireWire card
also lets you simultaneously record your DJ sets to your
computer with no additional hardware required. This is perfect for
DJs making mix CDs, recording podcasts, and literally dozens of
other applications. It's the next step in the evolution of
the DJ mixer, and you can only get it with
the d.2. In addition to its ult
