Numark, the world's leading manufacturer of DJ technology, announces that it has updated its venerable DJ IN A BOX and BATTLEPACK DJ packages for 2010. Numark exhibited the latest DJ IN BOX and iBATTLEPACK at the 2010 Winter NAMM Show in Anaheim, CA, booth 6400, January 14-17. Each complete, classic DJ package contains two turntables, a two-channel mixer with iPod dock, headphones, slipmats, and connection cables. DJ IN A BOX and iBATTLEPACK are quite literally everything a DJ needs to get started, with the obvious exception of records. Both models include iM1, the first DJ mixer that enables users to record their mix directly to their iPod or iPhone. The two-channel mixer also has a complete complement of standard features including switchable phono/line-level inputs, durable faders, crossfader, and mini-crossfader for cueing. It also enables the DJ to play a track from their iPod on channel two. DJ IN A BOX and iBATTLEPACK also each contain HF125 headphones with dual earcups for great isolation and high-quality sound for cueing. iBATTLEPACK contains a pair of TT1625 direct-drive turntables, while DJ IN A BOX starts DJs off with a pair of belt-drive TT1610s. Both turntables feature ±10% pitch, dual start/stop buttons, and include a cartridge, counterweight, and slipmat. "DJ IN A BOX and iBATTLEPACK have been getting DJs started for years," said Chris Roman, Product Development Manager at Numark. "With the integration of the iPod into the mixer, these new models are sure to be big hits." DJ IN A BOX and iBATTLEPACK will be available from DJ and professional audio retailers Q2 2010. DJ IN A BOX has a U.S. Retail Price of $499.00 and an estimated street price of $299.95, while iBATTLEPACK has a U.S. Retail Price of $599.00 and an estimated street price of $399.95. iPod is a trademark of Apple Inc., registered in the U.S. and other countries.
