Vestax VCI-400DJ 4 Channel Serato DJ Controller Hits the U.S.

The long awaited VCI-400DJ, a professional 4-channel DJ MIDI controller dedicated to Serato DJ and based on
the acclaimed VCI-400 hardware, hits the U.S. this month. It is available as a limited edition, shipped with a free upgrade license to Serato’s flagship pro DJ software… Serato DJ.

The VCI-400DJ is the perfect solution for DJs who have been seeking for a premium controller in a robust and compact body. The association with Serato DJ has made it the most reliable and intuitive portable DJ controller in it’s league.

Designed to give long-term durability, the thick aluminium facepanel and  die-cast corners provide rigidity to the whole hardware. The large aluminum Filter knobs are also a distinctive Vestax design that has been inherited from the brand’s previous quality hardware.

The integrated audio interface uses a studio-grade asynchronous USB streaming system, to provide low-latency, bit-perfect audio at 24-bit / 48 kHz resolution. This audio system combines a XMOS dual-core digital processor with carefully selected analogue components, to deliver clear and powerful sound. In addition, the EQ response of the integrated Stand-alone mixer was shaped from the legendary PMC-55 club mixer.
