DJ MP3 Media Players
The MP3 format really transformed how we store, organise and listen to music. It cannot really be understated just what an epic game-changer the MP3 has been since its introduction to the consumer audio market.
The ability to have an entire DJ music collection on one portable device such as a USB stick or hard drive really ushered in the end of an era for many. The days of carrying crates of heavy vinyl or hundreds of CDs to gigs and events are over for all but the real enthusiasts, with the playback of MP3 files now available from the majority of electronic audio devices.
MP3 files also have the ability to contain track names and information alongside the audio data, which will be available to read on the display screen of any media player for quick identification when track skipping, which is extremely handy when compared to traditional CD track numbering.
DJ Media Players
Unlike the expensive desktop ‘CDJ’ turntable designs which are designed for scratch mixing and club use, a DJ media player is aimed at integration into the more traditional mobile DJ rig, replacing that ageing dual CD player in your mixing console or rack cabinet.
Similar to those classic DJ CD players, our DJ media players come in single and double-sided variants depending on the type of playback it will be required to perform, from simple background music and single tracklist playback, to fade or beat mixing between tracks and other dual-deck features depending on the specific model.
Media Player Features
For those that still like the ability to play a CD we have several models of DJ media player that include either CD playback or CD+G karaoke specific discs with graphical output, which allows you to really cut down on the equipment needed for a wide range of gigs.
On the subject of karaoke, we have specific models such as the PDC150 from Power Dynamics which is designed specifically for professional karaoke DJs, with dual microphone inputs, digital echo function and playback of DVDs and CD+G discs for outputting to a display screen.
With playback of MP3 files from its USB input, you have an extremely versatile unit that’s. suitable for mobile work and for installation.
Digital Audio Media Players
For background music purposes, there are media players such as the PDC40 from Power Dynamics which include a DAB digital radio tuner, giving you access to hundreds of stations, alongside MP3 playback via USB input.
This model and several others in our DJ media player range feature the ever-useful Bluetooth connectivity, allowing streaming of audio from smartphones and tablets.
The inclusion of Bluetooth and direct USB playback brings you the huge benefits of both wireless and stored digital formats to your older DJ rig, integrating easily with older mixers and amplifiers for a low-cost system upgrade.
Several of our media players include an MP3 recording function, allowing you to record your mix set to the media players USB or SD storage, converting the incoming analog audio signal from the units line inputs or microphone inputs into the MP3 format.
Media Player For Installation
The slim 1U rackmount format of all our media players makes them ideal for installation purposes in retail and commercial premises, along with schools and social clubs that often have outdated audio equipment as part of their PA sound systems.
Simple to install and integrate into existing audio systems, these units bring all the benefits of the various digital audio formats to you in one simple to use device, replacing those old tape decks and CD players with the modern functionality of MP3 and Bluetooth streaming.
Standard stereo line output means a media player is a direct swap for older source devices, plugging directly into any amplifier or mixer, making your changeover to digital it as simple as can be.
