Numark CDX - Vinyl-Controlled CD Tabletop Turntable

Numark designed the CDX to fulfill the dream of harnessing the flexibility and convenience of CDs and MP3s with the irreplaceable feel of working with vinyl. The CDX is built with the same ultra–high torque direct drive motor as our flagship TTX, complete with 12–inch vinyl and slipmat. With a 3,000 cue–point memory, ±100% pitch control, Beatkeeper™ auto–synchronization and a wide range of DSP effects, you can make the most of digital music storage without losing the feel of real vinyl. Bridging the gap between vinyl and digital media, the CDX is the best of both worlds.
