It is incredibly clear and easy to use, making it the perfect device to get you started with DJing.

Additionally, it comes with free software, so all you need for a wicked mix are a computer and this controller!
ION DJ Live: clear and inspiring
The aim of this DJ controller is to mimic a classic DJ setup. Its two platters represent two CD players, but instead of coming from a CD the audio comes from your computer and is then controlled with the DJ Live. This allows for a perfect combination of software flexibility and tangible hardware control options. The mixer section features two channels, one per deck. Each channel has a two-band EQ that allows you to adjust the tone. Additionally, there's a crossfader to maker quick, smooth transitions between the two channels.
Built-in audio interface
To ensure that you can actually hear the signal coming from your computer, you need an audio interface or sound card. Luckily, the ION DJ Live already has a built in sound card with two outputs (both 3.5mm jack). One is for your headphones and the other's a master output that allows you to connect it to active monitor speakers, an amplifier or your computer for recording. This controller is perfect for amateur DJs but also excellent for on-the-go DJing thanks to its rugged housing.
