the new DENON DNHS 5500 - Digital DJ Turntable

PRODUCT REVIEW

The dnhs5500 is an amazing combination of the mighty dns3500 cd deck, the incredible dnhc4500 usb / midi controller with some of stunning features of the dnhd2500 harddrive media player. With all the aforementioned being widely regarded as the most capable devices in their class, the dnhs5500 was always going to take the world by storm. A host of playback and media options mean you can use the dnhs5500 with a usb storage device, mp3 player, ipod or thanks to the implementation of a midi interface, with software. You can playback audio from wherever you want and however you want. The deck will identify audio in the form of mp3 or .wav and it features an intuitive file search interface for finding files on large drives. Custom mapping of the controllers will give the user full control over virtual decks in traktor or similar dj software. You can even fit a 2.5" modular hdd to the internal easy access caddy for storing audio and playing back audio on the unit itself, in the same vein as the dnhd2500. The internal usb audio interface offers 2 stereo outputs with 44.1khz sampling ranges and low latency asio / osx core audio support, this means you can use the unit as two decks in a single chassis. By the flick of a switch one single unit can be converted into 2 virtual decks to play 2 tracks at once, all with full functionality and with total control over your audio. This also means you can control 2 independent sources on software too. Whether playing from harddrive, usb storage device or software, you get twice the power and creativity in a single unit. Core dj features haven't been missed either. The motorised platter gives true vinyl feel over your media. And with 2 hot cues, 2 editable loops, variable pitch range, key control and a total of 9 dsp effects, whether your scratching, hot mixing or club mixing, this deck has more than enough capability to take your skills to the next level. A large 3.8" lcd display provides all the information you need for tracks, play lists, time displays and audio source. Denon have even gone as far as including software for creating and editing pre-defined playlists, perfect for clubs, mobile djs and home users. The dnhs500 is nothing short of an amazingly capable, versatile and professional media player for the ever evolving and advancing digital dj.
