Rane MP 4 DJ Mixer with USB Audio

The Serato / Rane partnership combines world class DJ software with sound card and mixer technology, providing a complete DJ system. Digital files virtually eliminate the need to carry vinyl or CDs to the gig. Heavy, invaluable music stays safe and sound(less) at home. The DJ is able to record special events and performances as well as convert vinyl into digital files.

The MP4 provides the convenience of playing digital music directly from your computer while still supporting traditional analog inputs for total flexibility. The MP 4 is the perfect mobile DJ or podcasting product, providing superior software and a one-box hardware solution using a single USB cable connected to a PC. Think of it as a professional 6-channel USB sound card with a mixer wrapped around it!

The MP 4 allows the user to simultaneously:

• Play analog sources
• Play digital files
• Record a stereo source and cue another source (digital or analog) with the built-in headphone cueing.

The MP 4 is a two-bus mixer with two stereo Line/Phono inputs, two stereo USB digital audio inputs and one stereo digital audio output to USB. Each bus has its own EQ and meter. Cueing of any source is provided with a high-quality headphone amplifier. The high-performance VCA Active Crossfader will deliver years of dependable service.

A-bus, B-bus, Master Mix or Microphone may be assigned to the USB record channel. The MP 4 allows easy digital recording of analog inputs not available on software-only solutions.

House outputs include both XLR and ¼" TRS connectors. A separate Auxiliary output and trim can feed a recorder or another zone.

Ground isolation is provided between the mixer and the PC, removing a major obstacle to good quality PC sound. The MP 4 contains an internal universal switching power supply (100-240 VAC).

The MP 4 ships with a CoreAudio driver for Mac and an ASIO driver for Windows, allowing it to act as a high quality sound card compatible with many audio applications, including Scratch LIVE.

The MP 4 is ideal for DJ's who want to mix and beat-match digital files along with analog sources, but don't require the ability to “scratch.” Serato Scratch LIVE software is included. Though there is no control vinyl or CD with the MP 4, the control screen has extensive transport controls and library management features.
