Item Description

FOR THE ON–THE–GO SOFTWARE DJ AND PRODUCERS. The DJ|iO is compact and rugged enough to live in your gig bag, but powerful enough to provide solutions for a wide range of computer audio needs. The DJ|iO gives software–based DJs, performers and producers a range of options for outputting their final audio. Whether in the form of a live mix or a just–completed new track. With the DJ|iO, DJs and Producers can pass audio from their software–based application of choice through the USB 2.0 connector on the DJ|iO to a traditional mixer (for multi–channel mixing) using the built-in pair of stereo RCA connections. In addition, the DJ|iO features ¼” Microphone input and pass–through to Stereo RCA jacks for quick and easy voiceovers. The DJ|iO features ultra–low latency audio (via ASIO drivers), with 2 independent RCA stereo outputs, a mic input with adjustable gain on stereo pair #1 and a ¼” stereo headphone output on stereo pair #2. The DJ|iO is USB bus powered but can also operate with a 9V DC external power supply (sold separately) for those who have exceeded the power output of their existing USB bus.

    My DJing needs were pretty minimal; I wanted to use PC software to mix outputs via an external source. The DJ I/O filled that need perfectly. This box is relatively inexpensive, it’s compact and I found it very easy to install and use with open source mixing software.

    I bought this a week before I switched to Windows 7. I was using it on Windows Vista Business 64bit and it worked great along with Traktor Pro, however, it doesn’t seem to like Windows 7 at all. This could just be a Traktor problem, but all my drivers are up to date and such. When it did work, the sound quality was amazing. I reformatted last night to Windows 7 64bit and have yet to try it out, but I hope it works better than it did on 32bit. If you can it to work, then it is a great product that I would highly recommend. I have many friends that use this, and the week I did have it working it was amazing.

    Not sure what the problem was with the guy who said this soundcard doesn’t work with Virtual DJ. I use it for gigs and they work perfectly. Granted I am a computer professional and you do have to set the latency to accomodate your laptop (if it’s slow, increase the latency). I have a super fast laptop penryn Core 2 processor Ocd to 2.59GHZ with 6MB of L2 cache 4Gigs of PC5300 SoDimm RAM and a 500gig HD. Yes I put this monster together go to [...]

    Virtual DJ works great, so does Deckadance, you name it. I’ve had soundcards from MOTU, Indigo, Creative, all great but the simplicity and small form factor (except the Indigo DJx PCI Express – that thing is almost too small but also sounds amazing) and the fact that it has RCA outs configurable for your mains (2 virtual turntables if you want to pipe them out to an external mixer – you name it) and 1/4in outs for your headphones and 1/4in in for a mic. This thing rocks!!

    This product does exactly what it says it does. It creates a second output channel to monitor cue tracks in various DJ and music production software. By allowing you to route directly to headphones, you can preview what will be played next before sliding the cross fader over. Set up is simple and can be done in minutes (very intuitive even for novice DJ’s and musicians). Directly connect to your monitors/speakers through the back, headphones go in the front, USB to the computer, run the software and you’re ready to rock!

    I had no problem using this device with Ableton Live 7, Traktor Pro or Virtual DJ 3. I am running a Gateway laptop with Windows Vista. Other reviewers who have had difficulties with this unit either had out of date drivers for the hardware and/or software or were using hacked warez versions that make USB support difficult and sketchy.

    I recommend getting a USB MIDI mixer to use with your software of choice to truly take advantage of this interface.
