Reply to Echo Audio Indigo DJX Now Available

Have a PCI Express Card on your laptop?

Now you can free up a usb/firewire port with this sound card.

Im not saything this should replace you current sound card, but it make a nice addition to your setup as a back up soundcard.

I am an owner of the orignal Echo Audio DJ PCI and I didn't have any complaints. Latency was low and once in a blue moon I would have an audio drop out.

Now the bad news...(atleast for the time being)

Macbook Pro users...you have to wait, OS X is not supported (yet)

Finally an ExpressCard solution for the digital DJ. Indigo DJx offers two independent stereo 1/8 inch analog outputs; one for setting up your cue mix on a pair of headphones, and the other for the house mix. Each output features 24-bit/96kHz converters for the quality you deserve. Also included is a 6 foot audio cable for RCA or 1/4 inch connections.



A unique feature of the Indigo DJx is the use of "virtual" outputs. Indigo DJx appears to software as if it has eight separate outputs, which are digitally mixed down to the physical outputs using Indigo DJx's "console" software and its on-board DSP. This makes Indigo DJx compatible with all popular multi-track software. And, with Echo's "multi-client" drivers, more than one application (such as an editor and a software synth) can be playing back through Indigo DJx at the same time.
