General
American Audio's VMS5 is a 6-channel DJ controller with a number of interesting features. It's the successor to the popular VMS4 and VMS4.1 units, and the biggest difference as compared to the originals is the larger jog wheels and even clearer browser and mixer sections. The layout has also undergone a metamorphosis, resulting in more intuitive controls and a faster work flow.
New features
Most of the controls, including the EQ and effects section, are equipped with practical LEDs. This makes it even easier to see what you're doing in a dark environment on stage, for instance. The VMS5 comes with Virtual DJ 8 LE software, which includes a number of new features as well. If you decide to upgrade to the full version, then you can access DVS.
Overview
The VMS5 is one of the few 6-channel controllers on the market today. It offers two phono, four line and four USB connections, which is more than enough to connect various different devices and listen to all your favourite music! What's more, there are two microphone inputs on the front panel as well as a 3-band equalizer. Last but not least, the controller is equipped with an audio interface you can configure yourself. In short, the American Audio VMS5 is a user-friendly device with features you'd normally only see on controllers in much higher price categories.
