14 DAY TRIAL // The fact that the "made for iPod" accessories are pretty much everywhere and that the Apple players have gone in places no other portable music device dared tread is no news. From the iPod toilet paper holder to the iPod bar retro stool, and almost everything in between, the Apple players have found a way to infiltrate. It's time to introduce to you the iPod dedicated DJ mixer from the Urban Outfitters, a piece of audio gear that doesn't come in cheap at all – and maybe that's why we decided to write a line about it.
While most iPod gadgets retail for just a couple of bucks, save for complex iPod docks and the likes, it was a true surprise to see that this all-plastic mixer had a $120 price tag with it.
If you're the DJ in your gang and you are often partying with your friends, maybe this iPod DJ Mixer could be your secret weapon. It will allow you to load in two iPods at the same time thanks to the dual docks and it will provide you with the natural feeling of the disc spin. Even more, you get a cross-fade slider so you could actually work your way through the mixes like any serious professional DJ would.
The manufacturer claims that the scratching of an actual turntable is reproduced quite well by the SPIN wheel positioned in the center of the iPod DJ Mixer for easy access with both hands. From what the pictures show, the iPod DJ Mixer boasts a rather solid construction, despite its all-plastic body. Additional jacks will let you interconnect this mixer with a computer for both recording and playback.
The iPod DJ Mixer obviously sports a headphone jack so you can act and look like a serious DJ. Of course, if you think that mixing from your iPods is worth $120.
