[NAMM] Gemini DJ CDJ-700

Gemini’s new family of media players combines the ability to access, search and perform their music in several formats (WAV, AIFF, MP3, or AAC) from a CD, USB memory device, or SD (SDHC) card with playback controls.

The CDJ-700 is a tabletop media player with advanced controls such as loop adjust and slip mode. The CDMP-7000 is a media workstation with the traditional two-decks-and-a-mixer layout DJs are used to, along with two large, touch-sensitive platters with LCD displays, and controls for cueing, looping, and scratching your music. The CDMP-2700 is a 2U dual rackmount media player that combines the features of the family in a compact mobile design.

The new line of media players have input/output options including digital outs with 24-bit/192 kHz A/D converters. Components include slot-in CD-ROMs designed to allow quick transition between discs, and a DSP-effects engine with six effects. The new line of media players can be used as a MIDI controller with any DJ software.

Availability

The CDJ-700 tabletop media player pricing is TBD and will be available through musical instrument, electronics, and DJ retailers in the first half of 2011.
