Numark iDJ3 – Gearjunkies Review

The Numark iDJ3 is a powerful DJ controller. However, ‘the what’s so special about this controller‘ issue you’ll see when you look at it for the first time. The controller has a docking station for an iPod/iPhone right in the middle. With your iPod/iPhone you can play music from the device or you can even record music.

But before we continue, we have to say that we were confronted with lots of personal words of manufacturers about the consequences of the earthquake and tsunami of march 11th in Japan. The scale of what happened goes beyond imagination. It has affected the lives of so many people, and then it is only logical to see that it influences companies with ties to Japan, which are a lot of companies. We bear with them and wish them lots of strength in these difficult times.
