American Audio SDJ-1 Takes DJs To Ultimate Level Of Mobility
Imagine carrying your music library around on a card the size of a postage stamp! Now DJs can put all their digital music on an SD card – measuring a miniscule 1” x 1-1/4” -- and mix and manipulate tracks just as they would songs on a CD or MP3 disc.


Cortex Dmix600 Review
Just in case anyone has been buried under a rock the last year and doesn‘t know what these digital controllers can do, the Cortex Dmix600 will allow you to play CBR and VBR mp3 files off either an external hard drive, an iPod or any other usb device. You can actually mix using only one source which is pretty incredible once you stop and think about it.


American Audio SDJ-1 DJzone Exclusive Scoop!
The people of American Audio are releasing a new digital controller that you won’t have difficulties with hard drives or other external devices and you don’t need a laptop or college diploma to play music from it. The new SDJ-1 uses the virtually indestructible SD cards like what you see in cameras and PDAs. Everyone knows from watching CSI on TV that SD cards can practically be blown to bits and still work. At least I think they can.


Christmas in Minnesota a little Greener this year
Greeting those seeking some extra holiday spirit at the governor’s mansion is a Christmas tree standing over 20 feet and illuminated by 3-CHAUVET COLORado™ 3 units installed by Norcostco. The units allow the color of the tree to remain in a constant state of flux, leading passers-by to wonder, “How do they do that?”

Now, the company has introduced two scanner versions of these award-winning “RGBW” effects: the Revo Scan LED and Revo Roll LED.
