Denon DN-D6000

The Denon DN-D6000 is the latest addition to their acclaimed line of dual CD/MP3 Players. The rack-mountable DN-D6000 professional dual CD/MP3 player boasts an extensive MP3 feature set and Next Track Reserve with crossfade function. It is ideal for mobile DJs, club DJs and other working DJs. The DN-D6000 can also provide unattended “playback on power-up” function, making it great for bars and restaurants, especially at opening time.

The advanced MP3 playback mode fully supports seamless looping with B Point Trim, scratching, hot starts and MP3 effects; CBR and VBR (constant or variable bit rate) encoding up to 320 kbps; ID3 Tags (files embedded into the MP3 that display Title, Artist, Album); and MP3 File Search System (offering fast and easy file location by name). The Next Track Reserve function allows the DJ to store hundreds of MP3s on one disc and play them back-to-back. The DJ is able to search for a song by name and crossfade seamlessly to that file for a smooth non-stop mix. The crossfade time is user-adjustable and Next Track Reserve is also available for CD audio discs.

In addition to advanced MP3 functionality, the DN-D6000 includes 7 essential onboard effects such as scratch, reverse, brake, filter, flanger, echo and the world’s first echo loop, which can loop a 1/4 beat up to a 8/1 beat indefinitely, allowing a DJ to overlay another track or even a new disc for a seamless crossfade mix. Other useful features include: quick loading slot-in drives; 15 second Onboard sampler with pitch, B-Trim, volume control and 3-way playback (loop/single/all) edit options. Platter effects including drag-start, brake and reverse effects that can be used for MP3 or CD audio discs. You also get two seamless loops, B Point loop Trim and a 70mm jog disc with user-definable paper slipmats. Check out the 3-way BPM counter (automatic, tapping, manual). With features such as fast search/manual search and quick jump, the DN-D6000 makes searching fast and easy, enabling DJs to literally “jump” around within a CD or MP3 track using precise adjustable increment time steps.

For the ultimate in control and “feel” during live performance, a special platter hold function provides pitch bend by the scratch disc of up to ±100%. Additionally, ID3 Tags are supported for MP3 files, which allow the DJ to view the artist, album and title of a particular file. A realtime instant start (0.02 seconds) playback mechanism and 20 second shock proof memory ensure instant audio playback and uninterrupted performance. In addition, the DN-D6000 features a fader start control terminal that’s compatible with all Denon DJ mixers and 17 customizable preset functions so DJs can tailor functionality to their individual needs.

As part of Denon’s ongoing philosophy of providing customers with value-added products, the DN-D6000’s architecture has been specifically engineered to facilitate future enhancements based on end user feedback.
