USB audio interfaces are a dime a dozen these days, now that GarageBand, SONAR 8 Studio, Logic Express 8, and other low-cost digital audio workstation software has rocketed music recording to stardom among independent musicians. In a unique twist, Hercules has unveiled the DeeJay Trim 4&6, a USB audio interface that's designed specifically for DJs--perhaps those who already have a control surface but lack a proper input and output setup.
The unit features four channels of output, including two balanced jacks (+4dBu) for PA gear, and two -10dBv RCA outputs for mixing decks and regular amps. Users can also switch the config to allow for two inputs and six outputs: for example, if someone wants to hook in two stereo tracks to an external mixing deck, while flying in a third for samples and loops.
The line inputs, meanwhile, let you connect and mix in an iPod or external CD player, along with a phono level input for connecting vinyl turntables. It also features steel casing, two handles mounted on the sides, and four wide non-slip pads for stability. The DeeJay Trim 4&6 will hit stores in June for $249.99, and works with Windows XP, Vista, and Mac OS X 10.4 and 10.5 systems.
