Stanton DJ, an industry leader in the design and manufacture of professional audio products for DJs, announces the launch of the SC System, a highly innovative new set of digital controllers for the professional DJ.
From the guys at EKS we got this render of a slightly different OTUS controller. If you look closely you see round knobs instead of the square ones. We were told that it will get some new features as well but that is where the scoop ends because they wouldnt tell us what those features would be! Hmmmm! Pricetag will be around 700 euros.
The VCI-300 is a dedicated USB MIDI controller for the included Serato DJ software. It also comes with a built in audio interface with standard 4in 4out and headphone connection, which means all you need for DJing is the VCI-300, a laptop and a set of headphones.
Only day 1 underway and we noticed some kind of theme this year. Maybe not that many new product innovations but some manufacturers are going colored this year.
Fresh from the Messe, EKS intros their much anticipated Otus Controller for the DJ scene.
