Dual Top loading CD player. For quick loading of CDs top loading systems offer unparalleled ease. Further, the opaque plastic cover allows you to visualize the current playing status of the unit unlike front-loading players.

Inbuilt mixer. The CDX-16's inbuilt mixer allows you to mix CD, phono, and line sources without the connection of an external mixing console. To choose the input source or CD which will be mixed, simply switch to the desired input using the input assign switch.

Pitch Control. The playing pitch of either CD can be adjusted with the use of the pitch control fader or the pitch may be bent with the pitch bend joystick. The pitch range can be set to two levels, +/-8 or +/-16. Pitch range is most useful when attempting to best match the playing pitch of one track with another for smooth beat mixing.

Joystick. The two (2) joysticks on the CDX-16 allow users to quick scan the CD, search easily for a known track and to pitch bend the track playing. Pitch bend allows you to adjust to pitch momentarily in order to fine tune your mix.

Auto Smoothing. Between each track on any CD is usually a few seconds of no signal. The CDX-16 incorporates technology that eliminates this

blanknesswith the result being a smooth blend from the previous track to the current track playing.

Anti Skip & Anti Jump. The buffer memory on the CDX-16 is sufficient to eliminate any skipping from vibrations or pressure. The suspension system also prevents low frequency sounds from causing similar skips or jumps whilst the CD is playing.

Cue Point. This function allows you to set a cue point on a given CD and to access this point quickly and easily.

Standby Mode. If the CD is left unattended or on pause mode for an extended period (approximately 10 minutes) the unit will go into sleep/auto standby mode. This feature has been included to promote the life of each mechanism as constant playing will wear down the quality of the laser and reduce the amount of enjoyment that you may have with the CDX-16.
