The Numark NS7 - Technology At It's Finest


This is the latest D.J. control system from NuMark. The NS7 has been rated as one of (if not) the best control system to come along. I don't own one yet but I have had the pleasure of seeing it demonstrated and what this machine is capable of (to me) is totally awesome! The unit incorporates "Serato Itch" and has no need for the midi in and out jacks as with the "Serato Scratch Live" this uses a single usb connection cord directly to your laptop.
D.Js who identify themselves as turntabalist are saying they love the feel of the two 7" inch platers on the NS7 which each have outstanding torque control similar to that found on other NuMark turntables like the TTX giving access to real time scratch capability like never before. The beat matching indicator built into the NS7 has now made using headphones a thing of the past. The list of features that this controller has reads like a best selling novel, along with the steel contruction of the entire unit it appears to be matchless.
Most controllers I've used and owned have been made from a hard plastic which if ever dropped would probably shatter. This unit is built strong and sturdy and will most likely hold up to some rough handling. I'm not sure if NuMark has designed a road case especially for this piece of equippment, but I'm sure it will fit snug in any common road case you may find at stores like "Guitar Center" which by the way, may have this unit available for you to test for yourself right in the store.
For those of you who may not have ever purchased any NuMark products in-store or online, once you buy one of their products and give them your e-mail address, they send you news on all of their latest products as soon as they come out! You also recieve video links that show how some of these products work and how they tested with world renoun D.Js. I would have loved to add some of those links to this particular blog but unfortunately I was unable to track the url for them. But you can still go to Numark.com and I'm sure you can find some of these video links.
So whenever you get a chance, check out this product! I give it two thumbs up for it's quality and performance! Good work NuMark you really out did yourselves on this one. I can't wait to get my own and when I do, I'm sure I'll be doing another blog on how much it has inhanced my performance. Well, that's about it for now, but as always! Stay in the mix!

  2. I know, this is the latest thing out for D.Js, I can't wait to get one. But it runs about $1200 and the road case for it cost another $300.00 but it's well worth it cause it doesn't even play CDs. everything is coming off the lap top so this all you need along with a couple of powered speakers. Set up should take about 3 minutes.
