About NS7
NS7 is a complete computer-performance solution for cutting-edge DJs. It advances the art of performing with software, delivering the feel of motorized, adjustable-torque, aluminum turntable platters complete with vinyl, slipmats and 45 RPM adapters while offering Strip Search (patent pending) virtual-needle drop controls and a host of other innovative features. Separating the two turntable decks is a premium DJ mixer with replaceable, digital VCA crossfader and line faders, firm, rubberized knobs, rugged switches and buttons.
DJs will not only be impressed by NS7’s feel, but also its precision control. Numark and Serato developed a communication protocol for communication between NS7 and the computer that sends MIDI data over a single USB cable at more than ten times the standard resolution. The result is extremely high-resolution control with full MIDI compliance. As a result, NS7 can also work with most other popular DJ software packages.
NS7 contains a high-quality, 24-bit digital audio interface with mic/line input and headphone and system outputs. A single USB cable carries all audio and control data between NS7 and the computer for simplicity of system configuration and minimal setup time. Professional DJs will find NS7 to be built to outstanding levels of quality. Its heavy gauge metal housing and components have all been designed for durability on stage and reliability under the punishing conditions of the road.
Serato™ is a trademark of Serato Audio Research."
