Denon DJ’s MC4000 is a 2 deck Serato DJ controller for the professional entertainer wrapping in demand audio manipulation tools in a robust steel chassis for rugged durability. In addition to precision touch activated jog wheels, performers get access to dedicated hot cue and sample pads for on the fly creativity.
Long throw 100mm pitch faders and an intuitive control layout deliver natural operation when balancing complex set elements. A particularly useful feature—and virtually unheard of at the MC4000’s modest price point—is Balanced Booth Outputs, which feeds the program signal to a set of local monitor speakers near the DJ, with the ability to adjust the Booth level independent of the main level.
The MC4000 includes Serato DJ Lite and is user upgradable to full Serato DJ Pro. It’s also compatible with Traktor 2, Algoriddim djay Pro and Virtual DJ 8, as well as any other DJ application that supports MIDI mapping. This enables the DJ to use their use their favorite programs and customize their performance according to their personal style and the requirements of the situation.
