FAQs
Q. Does the Numark iDJ work with all iPods?
A. The Numark iDJ will work with any iPod with a bottom
connector, including iPod Mini, 20GB, 30GB, 40GB,
60GB and Photo. A special adapter is included to ensure
proper fit with all models mentioned.
Q. What if my iPod does not have a botton connector (i.e.,
Shuffle, Generation 1)? Will it work with the iDJ?
A: Yes. You will need to connect the iPod's audio output
into one of the iDJ's RCA Line-In connectors. You will
also need to use the iPod's controls to navigate and play
songs.
Q. Is the iDJ compatible with other brands of MP3 Players?
A. Absolutely. You can use any MP3 player by using the
headphone jack on your player and plugging into the iDJ's
RCA input on the unit's back panel. You will also need to
use the MP3 Player's controls to navigate and play songs.
Q. Can I use the Numark iDJ for pitch bend, tempo adjust, or
beat matching?
As a portable music player designed for the consumer
electronics market, Apple Computer's iPod does not
support professional level functions such as pitch bend
and tempo adjust that DJs commonly take for granted.
Hence, the practice of beat matching to bring two songs
into sync so you can crossfade from one to the other
while maintaining a constant tempo is unavailable.
Since the iPod serves as the "sound engine" when used
with Numark's iDJ, it is important to understand this
limitation lies not with the iDJ, but in the iPod's feature
set. The iPod can only play back music at the pitch and
speed the track was originally recorded at. It is equally
important to recognize that the Numark iDJ provides two
additional inputs for connecting turntables, CD players,
and other devices that can manipulate the tempo.
Numark's iDJ is a great tool for the following applications:
iPod Parties at bars, house parties, etc.
•
Entry level DJ
•
Podcasting
•
Backup systems for all professional DJs
•
Q. Can I use the Numark iDJ to Podcast?
A. Yes, you will need to bring the audio into your
computer and record the mix on your computer by using
recording software, such as Audacity software. To upload
your mix to a podcast site, we recommend researching
"podcast" on the Internet. There are many sites that
explain the process as well as offering hosting services.

fact, you do not necessarily need to have an iPod to use the Numark iDJ.
