Mackie D2-PRO 2-Ch DJ Production Console W/FwTHE ULTIMATE 2-CHANNEL CONSOLE FOR PERFORMANCE AND PRODUCTION
Introduced in 2006, the original Mackie d.2 DJ mixer was an instant success thanks to its studio-grade sound quality, incredible feel, and built-like-a-tank construction. Now the new d.2 pro picks up where the original model left off, with enhanced FireWire capabilities for direct connection to Mac or PC, more flexible routing, and Traktor Scratch certification for spinning digital music files using standard turntables with specially coded vinyl. Taken together, this enhanced feature set elevates this two-channel mixer into a true DJ performance and production console.
The d.2 pro console brings its unrivaled sound quality courtesy of premium studio grade VCA-based analog circuitry, audiophile-grade phono preamps, an Infinium contact-free crossfader, and XLR balanced main outputs. So you get studio-quality sound, Mackie's hallmark built-like-a-tank construction, and enough flexibility to place it at the center of any professional performance or serious DJ/remixer studio.
TRAKTOR SCRATCH CERTIFIEDProducts that have been deemed "TRAKTOR SCRATCH Certified" are premium quality mixers with integrated audio interfaces. The objective of the program is also to serve customers who prefer an integrated mixer setup to the mobile and versatile solution provided by TRAKTOR SCRATCH using its external AUDIO 8 DJ audio interface.
Products selected for TRAKTOR SCRATCH Certification meet the highest standards for professional sound quality and seamless integration within a TRAKTOR SCRATCH DJing set-up.
FULL-FEATURED FIREWIRE CONNECTIONSThe d.2 pro is the first two-channel DJ-style console to offer onboard 13x6 FireWire connectivity with 24 bit/96kHz sampling rates. So you can plug directly into your FireWire-ready Mac or PC (Mac OSX 10.3.9 or higher, Windows XP, SP2 or higher), and start spinning all your digital music files from iTunes, Traktor Scratch, Ableton Live and more (see sidebar). The d.2 pro's FireWire connectivity also lets you record your sets and original music productions directly to your computer without any additional hardware. This makes it a complete solution for building mix CDs, recording podcasts, broadcasts, or any one of dozens of other applications.
PRODUCTION AND PERFORMANCEA small DJ/remix studio typically includes many different components, from turntables to a laptop. So we made sure you could connect a wide range of gear into a d.2 pro simultaneously and tie it all together. No more audio interface. No more mess of cables. But we didn’t sleep on the d.2 pro's performance features either, so you'll be equally at home using it in the club.
In addition to its super straightforward layout, the d.2 pro's performance features include:
- An Infifnium optical, no-contact crossfader with adjustable tension
- Mackie-designed turntable and premium Mackie mic preamps for superior detail and maximum "punch"
- Smooth 3-band analog EQ with full kill capabilities
- 3-position, spring-loaded Transform switches
- A solid 14-gauge all-steel chassis (substantially thicker than our competitors)
These components directly contribute to the legendary sound quality and durability which have become Mackie hallmarks.
