AlphaTheta OMNIS-DUO Portable All-In-One DJ System |
AlphaTheta Corporation, the parent company of the Pioneer DJ brand, has the AlphaTheta OMNIS-DUO portable all-in-one DJ music system. It has two decks with a conventional mixer interface, Bluetooth capabilities, and runs for up to five hours on an internal rechargeable battery and up to eight hours in economy mode. It comes with a charger/power supply and fits into a hiker's backpack weighing about 10-pounds.
Built to be a totally portable standalone system, but not limited at all in operation, you can setup a complete DJ rig in any location even outdoors without AC power. Music sources for DJing can come from any computer or cell phone, or wirelessly over Bluetooth. Since there is a slight delay over Bluetooth, for live action/real-time DJing, a wired stereo connection is required to any powered speaker like the AlphaTheta WAVE-EIGHT Portable DJ Speaker.
Besides BT streams, you may also source music tracks from a SD-Card slot or USB thumb drives. You can also export to the rekordbox DJ application software (iOS/Android) for management, editing and archiving performances. All modern digital audio formats are supported: .mp3, .AAC, .Aiff, .Wav, and 24-bit Apple Lossless. There is a complete universe and cultural "heat" building around portable DJing! A big new party "draw" is to have partiers pair their phones to the OMNIS-DUO system for playing their own favorite tracks to your audience. A big first for any DJ unit is the ability to mix and scratch Bluetooth audio using the Bluetooth Playback feature.
Separate onboard effects are provided for each of the two decks in OMNIS-DUO. Many professional DAW computer capabilities are included like Beat Sync, Beatgrid, dropping Hot Cues--markers to begin/end loops or for memory locations to quickly locate to particular moments in your music. You can name and store popular sets, adjust tempo and see the original tempo, and view waveforms parading across the screen. Talk over any music using your own mic and there are both professional XLR and -10dBv outputs jacks. I liked the stereo headphone jacks--ready for ear buds or pro headphones.
The AlphaTheta OMNIS-DUO Portable DJ System sells for $1,499 MAP and represents the latest modern trend in this nascent music field.
