Cumberland, RI, January 15, 2004 – Numark’s CDX is a tabletop CD player with an ultra-high torque motorized 12” platter that holds a vinyl record for the ultimate in vinyl scratch feel. Styled after Numark’s flagship TTX turntable, the CDX features an industry maximum 5.0 kgf/cm torque direct drive motor, aluminum platter, dual "battle-style" controls, and forward/reverse toggle. In addition, there is a superior VFD display, slot-load CD transport, and extensive DSP functionality.
The CDX has several modes for scratching and looping, including auto beat matching and smart looping, which uses the Beatkeeper™ to make perfect loops effortlessly. There is also extensive cue store/recall with multiple sets for each CD. Beat-synched digital FX are built in, including sonar, slide, filter, echo, and chop. Effects can be manipulated with a separate control wheel interface. The CDX offers a pitch slider programmable up to ±100% pitch control, as well as a high-quality, 100% Key Lock.
Numark CEO John E. "Jack" O’Donnell commented: “To say that the CDX ‘emulates’ a turntable is not quite accurate: mechanically, the CDX is a turntable. With the highest torque direct drive motor out there, a full size platter, and TTX turntable styling and control, the CDX feels as close as it gets to working with a record while using a CD. For the professional DJ who enjoys the convenience of CDs, while also desiring the feel of working with vinyl records, there is no longer a need for compromise.”
