Hard times, financial crisis, credit crunch, administration and redundancies are all words which reflect the current economic climate, and how depressing it certainly is. How about something to put a smile on your face and advice that will help ease your own budget when looking for a new audio interface.
So what interfaces are out there for us digital DJ’s at a more affordable price and which is right for you?
Best for Value -
With 2 stereo phono outputs to route your 2 channels to an external mixer and one stereo phono input to let you record your DJ set back into your computer from your mixer, plus the high quality and low latency audio conversion mixed with the twin headphone output and midi I/O – this interface offers the best features at a great cost for any digital DJ who simply uses a midi controller.
Novation Nio 2|4 – £129.99 (Plus FREE Novation Laptop Bag whilst stocks last!)
Most Professional -
Without doubt the best sounding professional interface for DJ’s giving you 2 stereo outputs to route to your mixer and 2 stereo inputs (line or phono levels) to feed your Turntables or CD decks into your chosen software all in a compact stylish looking box.
On a Budget -
Offering the same features as the above Audio 4 DJ with 2 stereo inputs and outputs, but at quarter of the price the only thing that it doesn’t offer in comparison to the Audio 4 DJ is that the ESI Maya44 inputs are only line level (CD Decks Input only). Sound quality is excellent for the price so if its something cheap and cheerful that does a job and you only use a midi controller or CD Decks this is the one for you.
