The Denon DJ SC5000M Prime is a high-definition digital DJ media player with a 7" motorized vinyl platter, a 7" multi-touch HD display, and latency-free tactile navigation, load, and playback functionality. The dual-layer playback engine acts like two separate players in one, complete with per-layer analog and digital audio outputs. Additionally, the player is capable of onboard music file analysis, which allows you to add cue points, loop start and end points, and more while working on-the-fly.
The SC5000M utilizes a dedicated multicore internal processor to run Denon DJ's Engine Prime music librarian software, which features direct access to convenient performance functions. The die-cast aluminum platter boasts real vinyl, adjustable vinyl tension, and variable torque settings. The player also includes eight multifunction trigger pads that deliver creative expression for your hot cues, loops, slices, roll playback with every performance locked to the super accurate beat-grid analysis.
Up to four players can be LAN networked to a Denon DJ X1800 Prime 4-channel mixer (available separately) for synchronized data transfer between units, plus enhanced BPM and FX possibilities. The Engine Prime ecosystem remembers any previously entered DJ performance preferences and settings when inserting a USB drive or SD card, including previously performed track cue points, loop regions, playback history, and preparation folders. The audio outputs are 24-bit / 96 kHz for the uncompromising sound quality, and the SC5000M Prime plays a variety of uncompressed audio formats, including FLAC, ALAC, AIFF, and WAV, plus popular compressed music files such as MP3 and AAC/M4A.
