The receiver has also been updated with a tuning bandwidth of 148 MHz, and users now have the option to select a standard receiver with two XLR outputs or a receiver that also includes a Dante output.

Introducing Our Line of DJ Audio Equipment

At the 2018 NAMM Show, we’ll also be introducing our line of disc jockey audio equipment, including professional DJ headphones, a direct-drive professional turntable, and two new moving magnet DJ cartridges. Audio-Technica DJ Audio Equipment Headphones, Turntables, and Cartridges The ATH-PRO5X and ATH-PRO7X headphones have been specifically designed for use by professional DJs. Both headphone models offer maximum comfort for long sessions, excellent sound isolation, and detachable locking cables. The ATH-PRO5X headphones are equipped with 40 mm drivers, while the ATH-PRO7X headphones include 45 mm drivers, both of which offer extremely accurate sound reproduction even at high volumes. Our newest turntable is ideal for pro, mobile, and club DJ use, as it has been built to deliver exceptional music reproduction even under the most demanding conditions. The AT-LP1240-USB XP turntable uses a powerful direct-drive motor for unwavering speed stability, and features a variety of additional DJ-friendly features, such as forward and reverse play and back-cueing. The AT-LP1240-USB XP also comes complete with one of the newly designed moving magnet cartridges. The pre-mounted AT-XP5 DJ phono cartridge has been specifically designed to meet the needs of DJs, offering an ideal tracking force range of 2.0 to 4.0 grams and a 0.3 x 0.7 mil elliptical bonded stylus that tracks the record groove with high accuracy for outstanding audio reproduction. Our second cartridge being introduced at the 2018 NAMM Show is the AT-XP7 DJ phono cartridge, which offers the same features as the AT-XP5 cartridge, but with an enhanced damper and suspension and more powerful output level.
