INTRODUCTION
Congratulations and thank
you for purchasing the latest addition to the growing Stanton family. Sporting a new attitude, and a fresh, modern look, the C.303 is a tabletop CD
player with features and innovations giving club and mobile DJs a powerful, yet simple tool to mix, create, and perform their best.
Designed for DJs who want to play CDs with an interface similar to vinyl, our workhorse CD player features a large jog wheel, making it possible to cue
tracks easily—while an easy to read LCD display, adjustable pitch range, key lock, pitch bend, and reliable, anti-shock playback with auto cue and
instant playback offer even more control and flexibility. The C.303 even goes a step further by adding onboard sampling with four trigger buttons and
cue memory, seamless looping, and a S/PDIF digital output, expanding your creative possibilities beyond that of traditional turntables. Thoughtfully
designed and engineered to give you the most intuitive and instinctual experience possible, the C.303 delivers all these features in a logical layout with
quality components, all at an affordable price. We’re proud to bring you the new look, feel, and sound of Stanton.
