Behringer NOX404 PRO DJ Mixer

Description

Just like all BEHRINGER NOX Series DJ Mixers, the Pro Mixer NOX404 is built to connect directly to your computer and take your music straight into the digital realm. The NOX404's intuitive layout makes it easy to operate right out of the box. Beneath its elegant exterior lies the heart of a two-channel DJ battle mixer complete with a beat-syncable FX section, three-band EQ, switchable FX LOOP, and full-kill filters. Premium-grade phono preamps, along with BEHRINGER's legendary XENYX mic preamps, ensure the ultimate in signal integrity and punch. And thanks to NOX404' onboard USB audio interface, you can add your MP3s to the mix with just the flick of a switch. The stereo AUX IN section, complete with LEVEL control, is like getting an extra channel for free. It also features BEHRINGER's infinium "contact-free" VCA-controlled crossfader for the utmost in reliability and smooth audio performance. The user-adjustable crossfader curves let you quickly adapt to various mixing styles.
No Media Boundaries
Like the DJ mixers that started it all, the NOX Series offer RCA inputs for your turntables, tape decks, and CD players. They also feature mic inputs with BEHRINGER's exceptional XENYX mic preamps for announcements, an impromptu rap, or any other vocal nuance. But unlike the original DJ mixers, the NOX404 mixer includes USB connectivity so you can access your MP3 library or digitize your own creative mix, directly via your computer. If it can be clicked, spun, or spoken, the NOX404 can mix it!
Beat-syncable FX
A useful and powerful addition to the NOX Series mixers is the internal effects engine. This processor offers 12 high-quality digital effects that can be assigned to the microphone, channel 1 or 2, crossfader A or B, or the main mix. Each effect has several parameters that can be adjusted to suit your purpose. In general, the TAP button is used to beat-sync the effect to the tempo of the music by pressing it in rhythm. The INTENSITY fader usually controls the wet/dry mix of the effect (how much is blended with the unaffected signal). The FREQUENCY knob can have various assignments. In beat-sync mode (engaged by tapping the rhythm with the TAP button), it will determine the tempo multiple. It can also adjust the rate on its own, if beat-sync is not engaged or not available.
Here' a brief description of the FX available in the NOX404 mixer:
2XCOPY
: Makes a copy of the signal, which is delayed by a defined time.
TAPE ECHO
: A simulation of the echo effect that occurs between two tape reels, which has a warm, slightly decayed sound.
ECHO
: A more modern delay effect, which is very useful for juggling beats and emphasizing musical phrases.
FLANGER
: A wave-like effect that modulates the signal.
PHASER
: A sweeping phase shifter effect similar to the flanger except that it is enharmonic, thus producing a more "swooshing" sound.
LP and HP FILTER
: A low-pass filter cuts out any frequency above its parameter settings. A high-pass filter cuts out frequencies below its parameter settings.
AUTO PAN
: Automatically moves the signal from one side of the stereo image to the other.
VOCODER
: Creates a robot voice sound straight from the early days of electronic music.
REVERB
: This is a classic effect that adds space and air to the sound.
REV REVERB
: Reverse reverb.
LMT+DIST
: Band-limited distortion creates a tight, compressed, and distorted sound to any signal.
