Thanks to the easy transport, professional processing and the advanced feature set, the DJ-505 is perfectly suitable for mobile applications, club DJs, live performances and studio productions. The integrated 24 bit / 48 kHz audio interface and the Roland high-end audio converter at the master and booth outputs ensure the faithful reproduction of audio signals for a clean and powerful sound. The balanced XLR outputs allow direct connection to a professional PA system, while you listen to your mix through the booth outputs and the separate 6.3 mm and 3.5 mm headphone outputs. In addition, a 6.3 mm TS microphone input is available to integrate vocals or external instruments into your performance setup. Fixed controls for Serato DJ allow quick creation and triggering of hot cues, loops, TR sounds, sequencer patterns and samples as well as switching between the four Serato decks via the Deck Select button. Use the channel filters or Serato FX (selectable via three FX buttons per deck) to refine transitions or accentuate scratches.Authentic scratchingThe DJ-505's large turntable has minimal latency and delivers responsive, lag-free scratch performance comparable to traditional record players.
