The VMS4.1 is a the newest version of the 4-channel table top DJ controller from American Audio and it is their flagship controller. One feature that separates this controller from others is the built-in soundcard, which eliminates additional interfaces needed between the controller and computer.
Compared to its breakthrough predecessor, the VMS4.1 has a completely new internal hardware, four times more output, a larger power supply, brighter LEDs on knobs and buttons, stronger facer mounting, vastly improved sound quality and significantly upgraded mic sound, quality and output. It also has a new, more linear EQ design that works better with Traktor software as well as Virtual DJ.
American Audio has incorporated a built-in USB port onto this controller, this provides plug-n-play right out of the box and allows the VMS4 to be used with any MIDI audio software titles. This controller is equipped with two velocity touch sensitive jog wheels, a full function mouse pad, two 10-bit resolution pitch sliders, 62 assignable MIDI buttons and switches (50 with LED illuminations, 18 with dual blue/red LEDs), 4 assignable rotary encoders, 34 assignable rotary controllers, and 5 assignable linear fader controllers. All audio control faders, knobs, switches, and buttons have been smoothed to eliminate popping, wiper noise, and zipper noise. This versatile all in one DJ controller is perfect for beginner DJs and has all the features that will satisfy a professional DJ.
