http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T53Chm0gro0A TOTAL DJ SOLUTION FOR VINYL, CDS, AND MP3 CDS. Considering all the attention–grabbing features on this muscular hybrid turntable, make sure that you don't overlook its most important asset: a slot–load CD player, with MP3 capability. Fear not, because once you start using the X2, you won't forget all of the great attributes packed into this unit.
Numark's X2 benefits from the industry's highest torque, direct–drive motor, which provides the long–term stability and durability that professionals demand. This exceptional turntable employs adjustable pitch control for both 33 and 45 RPM vinyl records, an ultra–precise aluminum tonearm with cue, height, and anti–skate adjustments. Best of all, the X2 utilizes Numark's patented interchangeable straight or S–shaped tonearm. The X2 is specifically designed for long–term dependable operation with its 12–inch anti–drag aluminum platter and solid core construction (which minimizes vibrations and unwanted noise).
The X2's CD player offers full MP3 playback capability as well as the ability to scratch, loop, manipulate and pitch adjust both audio and MP3 data CDs. Since both the CD and turntable can be played simultaneously, this double–threat hybrid turntable represents a bridge between the comfort and control of vinyl and the expansive capabilities of digital music output.
