The AUDIO 8 DJ interface
AUDIO 8 DJ is the ultimate audio interface for DJs, and the pulsing heart of TRAKTOR SCRATCH. This pro quality 24bit/96 kHz interface with ultra high-end Cirrus Logic™ AD-DA converters is unique in the field- a dedicated DJ soundcard that surpasses every audio expectation.
4 hi-gain stereo outputs mean you have the potential for 2 main decks routed from the TRAKTOR software, plus two extra stereo outputs fed by TRAKTOR SCRATCH’s send effects. Along with 4 stereo inputs, MIDI I/O and multiple status LEDs, the AUDIO 8 DJ is built on a metal chassis and is wrapped in a robust and compact design. This box of audio dynamite is ready for any situation.
Pure Vinyl Feeling
TRAKTOR SCRATCH closes the gap between digital and analog DJing. The timecode is formatted onto special CDs and vinyl, and has an unmatched response - it feels like the digital file is cut into the wax. Pressed onto 120g vinyl, each disc contains one side with 17 minutes of timecode, plus a flip side with deeper cut grooves for turntablists and scratch DJs. A special 'track' allows you to scroll through your collection and select your next tune using only the turntable- with no need to touch your computer.
Easy Set Up
It's never been easier to spin digital. TRAKTOR SCRATCH is designed for maximum plug and play usability, and comes with 2 revolutionary color coded connector cables grouping all necessary connections into one pro quality audio cable. One click per deck and you're ready to rock the house- (additionally you can route send effects with two further connections). Simple and intuitive to set up, AUDIO 8 DJ also features LED's indicating the status of every connection - giving you instant error detection and individual level meters that make setting up in any environment effortless.

TRAKTOR SCRATCH is built using the TRAKTOR software engine - hugely experienced in the digital DJing world, and a mark of quality and functionality. Each component of the system is crafted by the same experienced hand, and built to work in total harmony together. Rock-solid, ready and reliable, when the crowd puts their trust in the DJ, you can put your trust in TRAKTOR SCRATCH.
