Professional Digital DJ Mixer X-9

To achieve the ultimate in creative control of your mixes,
the X-9 includes a wide variety of high-quality built-in
effects. You can add reverb, delay, echo, flanging, auto
panning, fuzz, a low-fi filter, pitch control, a transformer
effect and a low pass filter to any audio signal that passes
through the X-9, with 30 memories to store your settings
for later use. The X-9 also features parametric EQ – an
essential control feature for exciting custom mixes. All EQ
settings are also storable and recallable. Also, using the X­9’s sampling function, you can select a sampling source
from Input 1 through 4, from the master output, the
microphone input, or both sides of the crossfader. Along
with its customizable fader start function, which can be
assigned to several controllers on the mixer, the X-9 offers
all the features you ever wanted in a DJ mix – and a few
you never knew you needed until now.

The TASCAM X-9 is a versatile tool for serious DJs which
combines a highly flexible 4-channel mixer with a dual
effects processor and a dual sampler. The result is a crea­tive powerhouse that helps to add originality and inspira-

tion for every mix.
Designed specifically for high-end creative DJs, the X-9’s

control surface is laid out to combine ultra-high perfor­mance and intuitive ease of use. Its multitude of analog
and digital inputs allows for incredible flexibility for inter­facing with a wide variety of DJ gear such as vinyl turnta­bles, dual CD decks, external effects devices and other
audio tools.

Whether you’re combining it with TASCAM’s CD-302 Dual
CD Decks or any other audio playback tool, the X-9 repre­sents a giant leap forward in setting the standard for DJ
mixing in the 21st century.
