Stanton C.304 manual Introduction, Safety Precautions, Safety Instructions

INTRODUCTION

Congratulations and thank

you for purchasing the latest addition to the growing Stanton family. Sporting a new attitude, and a fresh, modern look, the C.304 is a tabletop CD player loaded with features and innovation—giving club and mobile DJs a complete, powerful, yet simple tool to mix, create, and perform their best.

Designed for DJs who want to play and scratch CDs just like vinyl, our flagship tabletop CD player features a large touch-sensitive jog wheel, making it possible to mix, scratch, and beat juggle just like using a turntable. An easy to read blue LCD display with a track position marker, along with adjustable pitch range, key lock, pitch bend, and reliable, anti-shock playback with auto cue and instant playback offer even more control and flexibility. The C.304 even goes a step further by adding onboard sampling with four trigger buttons and cue memory plus seamless looping, 6 high quality DSP effects, and a S/PDIF digital output—expanding your creative possibilities beyond that of traditional turntables. Thoughtfully designed and engineered to give you the most intuitive and instinctual experience possible, the C.304 delivers all these features in a logical layout with quality components, all at an affordable price. We’re proud to bring you the new look, feel, and sound of Stanton.
