Description

4-Channel Digital Mixer with Multi-Assignable Inputs and Pro DJ FX

Introducing the new X1850 PRIME Professional 4-Channel DJ Club Mixer. Fusing a familiar, intuitive layout with a rugged construction, performance driven effects, plus an arsenal of versatile connectivity options, the X1850 provides the next generation in DJ performance technology - a true pro-mix centerpiece for the forward-thinking, creative DJ.

Familiar Layout, Superior Performance
With a rugged metal construction, the X1850 is a 'mixing comfort-zone' for any DJ. Center stage are 4-channels with multiassignable phono/line inputs for seamless integration into virtually any setup. A 'high-visibility', 3-band EQ section offers both normal and expressive 'isolation' modes for further expressive capability, plus expanded sonic creativity via frequency controlled band-isolation. Four smooth 60mm throw, contour adjustable line faders and a Denon DJ contour adjustable FlexFader crossfader handle all Pro-DJ mixing styles - from cutting and scratching to blends and mixing. Denon DJ's acclaimed 'Flex-Fader' technology adds adjustable tension to the Crossfader response for a completely personalized experience, so you can focus on delivering the perfect performance.

Sculpt your Sound
A true club mixer shouldn't stand in the way of your creativity, it should act as a natural extension of you - the DJ - crafting your unique sound and giving you the professional edge your performance demands. Add dynamic audio effects into your mix with 4 Sweep FX, contouring frequencies with X1850's powerful Lo/Hi Pass Filter and colouring with the adjustable Resonance control. Get creative with the X1850's 16 enhanced Pro-Club BPM FX and 'Time-Division' Touchstrip to activate on-the-fly rhythm-based FX adjustments. For total command of your set, X1850's crisp OLED screen enables full customization of your workflow and performance settings, alongside unrestricted access to adjust and edit the 16 Pro Club FX. Putting even more power to your performance, the X1850 introduces a new FX Quantize control with the Engine Connect Protocol; now all effects parameters always align with your grooves so you spend less time focussing on functions and more time commanding the dance floor.

Mainstage Connectivity
Audio routing is the core responsibility of any mixer, but complete mastery of your signal chain is a luxury provided by so few solutions on the market. X1850 offers effortless audio source options, routed with (4) Phono/Line channels, Digital, (switchable) USB, a DVS channel selection plus a dedicated stereo send and return. The X1850 PRIME has a built-in 5-port LAN hub for connecting up to four 'SC' media players, carrying tempo information, ultra-fast music file transfer and StagelinQ audo visual connections. A 5-Pin MIDI out to start/sync external gear brings you even more performance flexibility. Add (4) dedicated digital inputs, DVS capability, 24-bit/96kHz pro-grade audio output, plus easy switching to, and between, USB inputs, and your connectivity options for any performance scenario are completely covered. You can further personalize your live performance elements with the two independent mic inputs outfitted with dedicated level and EQ controls, while monitoring the cue/split/master mix with either 1/4" or 1/8" headphone connectivity.

Dual USB Connections
Seeking hassle-free connectivity to your favorite DJ Software? X1850's dual USB connections easily connect to your laptop, provide a second port for a back-up laptop or let you run two DJ applications in tandem for quick and easy DJ 'hand-offs'. As the X1850 is a fully featured audio interface too, you can send 5 stereo channels (4 x channel faders and the stereo master) to a DAW, so you can record your mix in multitrack mode for editing and finessing later!
