Denon DJ’s, DN-S3700 is a Direct Drive Turntable-style unit that functions as a Digital Media Player, MIDI Controller with Sound Card, and a Slot-in CD Player. This super-versatile controller lets users bring together and enjoy access to huge MP3/WAV music libraries stored on external Hard-Drives, Apple® iPods®, USB Flash Drives, CDs, CD-Rs, & CD-RWs. Users must simply plug these devices into the DN-S3700 to obtain the powerful on-board features, such as Instant Start, Seamless Looping, Effects, Scratching and easy File Searching, to name a few.
The DN-S3700 is also designed to interface and control a variety of popular DJ programs on both Mac and PC computers that support USB MIDI in/out interface, either by user custom mapping or direct native support by the software vendor. Users can easily control their favorite DJ software all from a single advanced compact player. Unlike most controllers that are USB bus powered, the DN-S3700 has its own internal power supply, resulting in best possible performance. The DN-S3700 features an industry leading Burr Brown 24-bit sound card for superior output audio fidelity.
The new 9” Spinning Platter Design with a real vinyl record mounted on it driven by a High Torque Direct Drive Motor, provides users with the classic and unmistakable feel of true vinyl. It accurately reproduces the subtlest or swiftest scratching movements made by the human hand. The platter also performs other functions, such as pitch bending, frame searching and quick file navigation from external USB devices. For added creative flexibility, three hot starts can be made on the fly, which also double as auto loops. Additionally, traditional A-B loops can be manually executed, as well.
DJs can easily activate and have full parameter control with a Dry/Wet mix control of the DN-S3700’s built-in DSP Effects: Flanger, Filter (High-Mid-Low), Echo and Echo/Loop, as well as 3 Platter Effects, including Brake (adjustable in real-time), Dump (reverse sound without losing true forward time, like a radio edit) and Reverse (plays your music backwards). For those DJs who perform long mix transitions and require high pitch resolution, the S3700 offers pitch control via a 100-mm pitch slider with 0.02% for the ±6% pitch range and 0.05% for the ±10/16% pitch range. Wide ±100% range is also available.
Denon DJ Brand Manager Silvio Zeppieri stated, “The DN-S3700 is exactly what many professional DJs have dreamed about – a hybrid digital/analog design with a larger platter that not only affords access to all types of media playback styles, including MP3 disc access, but lets users express themselves creatively using classic vinyl tricks of the trade, with the original touch-feel design of vinyl that many DJs grew up with – and that really started it all! With the addition of the new DN-S3700 to our lineup, Denon DJ is giving working DJs an even more comprehensive range of every kind of tool and solution they need to succeed and grow their creative talents.”
