Design
We consider a lower weight better because lighter devices are more comfortable to carry. A lower weight is also an advantage for home appliances, as it makes transportation easier, and for many other types of products.
Buttons will light up when pressed, resulting in better visibility to users.
An LED sound level indicator makes it easier to monitor and control the audio level.

The amount of keys the controller has on the keyboard.
Fully weighted keys are designed to replicate the response and feel of acoustic piano keys. If you compose a lot of piano-oriented music, the realism of a weighted, hammer-action keyboard might be ideal for you.
Similar to a weighted action keys, but with less resistance and a slightly springier release, semi-weighted keys are popular with many players. If you don’t need realistic piano response, but also don’t care for spring-loaded synth actions, a semi-weighted keyboard might be ideal for you.
Touch sensor jog wheel platters have an analog feel as well as a high resolution sound when mixing and scratching.
These are wheels that allow the user to shuttle or jog through audio media. They are commonly found on devices made for disc jockeys.
The loop button allows you to select a section of your track and tell the software to play it over and over again.
Pitch faders are necessary for precise BPM matching when mixing tracks.
A synth-action keyboard feels more like an electronic organ. The spring-loaded keys are light and capable of being moved very quickly. They also tend to return to their resting position much more quickly. Synth-action keys are perfect for musicians who aren’t pianists by nature, such as guitarists wanting to add MIDI functionality to their setup.
Velocity sensitive keys are just spring loaded keys that sound out louder the harder you hit them. If you "lightly" press a key, the sound will be quiet; the harder you press, the louder it gets.
Ports
A booth output is an extra output from your DJ controller, that outputs the same mix as the master output. Whatever’s coming out of the master output also comes out of the booth output. The crucial difference is that the booth output has its own independent volume control.
The total number of microphone input ports (usually XLR or ¼”) the device has. The majority of professional microphones use the XLR connector that ensures a better sound quality.
The number of headphone output ports the device has (usually 6.35mm or 3.5mm).
Is the total amount of outputs that the device has. More output ports allow users to connect more output devices such as power amplifier, submixer, recorders or powered loudspeakers.
The total number of inputs that the device has. More input ports mean that more input sources such as microphones, CD players or turntables can be connected at once.
Is a type of electrical connector (phono) commonly found on audio equipment. It is used to carry audio signals and facilitate connection between various sources in audio systems.
A TRS/phone connector (6.35mm) is a connector used to carry analog signals, primarily audio. It is commonly called jack or 1/4" jack.
The XLR is an electrical connector primarily found in professional audio equipment. Balanced XLR connections are used for reducing the amount of noise and interference of audio signals.
Is a type of electrical connector (phono) commonly found on audio equipment. It is used to carry audio signals and facilitate connection between various sources in audio systems.
Features
Devices that do not need a power adapter can operate with a standard USB cable connected to your computer.
The device has an effects section with dedicated controls.
This mixer function enables you to use your device along with CD players, turntables or other interfaces, with or without having a computer connected.
With its built-in audio interface, the device is ready to go right out of the box. Built in audio interface also give you the ability to plug external sources into the unit – typically CD players, MIDI devices or turntables.
The mixer section has three bands for sound equalization. The user is able to adjust high, mid and low frequencies.
Audio interface sampling rate/frequency defines the number of samples per unit of time taken from a continuous signal to make a discrete signal. Sampling rate determines the quality of a digital recording.
Audio interface bit depth/rate describes the number of bits of information recorded for each sample. Bits represent the resolution. The more bits, the more accurate sound is reproduced.
The device has a filter knob (hi-lo pass) for each channel. Filters are used to manipulate sound and control which frequencies are lost and which are retained.
With more channels available, more tracks could be mixed together. It is also possible to control additional external audio sources.
