It is the only all-in-one mixing console to provide full control of your music with real-time scratching (via two jog wheels), key lock support for mixing, and crate management and track profiling of your digital files on a stunning full-color screen. This feature loaded console is all you will ever need to mix music all night long using your iPod, USB thumb drives, or external drives.

OUR OPINION
This is the best all-in-one iPod mixing console out there. If you're not ready to throw down for a laptop, digital DJ software, and decks, this is definitely the way to go if you want to throw down at parties and mix. With the ability to mix 2 tracks from the same iPod, connect external drives or audio sources, keylock, scratching, and even a full color LCD screen - you really can't ask for any more. All this for under $600 makes this a steal.
