Hercules - DJ Console MK2 - Mixer and Soundcard

Advantages: Lot of fun, yet a serious device at the same time.
Disadvantages: Jog/Scratch wheel not placed in the best position on the device.

This is a great item for the amateur/semi pro DJ. Not just limited to mixing two MP3's, this unit also allows you to mix with a variety of sources such as turntables and CD players. This is because you can attach various external hardware to the device via the extra connections you have available, including optical and RCA. There are two sets of master outputs as standard, meaning you can output to two separate amplifiers as an example, or record ...
...other. Acting as a standard soundcard as well as the MP3 mixer, you do not need an additional soundcard to use the DJ Console and it can act as the main soundcard for your computer. The device also has beat matching capabilities, this is automated so you are always in sync with your mixes(bpm) There is also the ability to use the console as a MIDI control device and external audio applications such as Reason and Ableton Live amongst others are supported. ...

...OF THE PRODUCT Creative Technology is one of the world’s distinguished companies for manufacturing computer MULTIMEDIA products. They are mostly famous for their outstanding quality and cheaper priced sound cards and graphics cards for computers. They launched the creative sound blaster X-FI first in August 2005. Later they have revised and remodeled their product for more adaptability towards different operating system and more boastful sound ...
...stands for extreme fidelity, for maximum sound output with various tuneable options and add on external effects. Just because this product can plugged in with you system, via usb port, that’s why it also depends on the data bus speed available for that usb port.

Amazing quality for price

Advantages: Great value for price
Disadvantages: No disad

Bought this sound card because my Laptops sound card quality is poor and found this external sound card in special offer for 25GBP. When I bought this sound card I just bought it for the 5.1 Output and didn't check it's other specifications and I was surprised when I noticed that is had both Optical In and Out which is usually a feature of expensive sound cards besides the normal 5.1 out, headphones and microphone in plugs. I have the sound card ...
...me even used it to connect to my home theater with amazing results the sound was flawless! The sound card is very easy to use since it's plug and play no need for drivers although it comes with a drivers cd in case you are asked for any. Tried it with windows XP, Vista and Linux without the need of drivers and without any hustle to install it. A really good sound card highly recommended Specifications: Manufacturer - Terratec Model - E3312 ...

An issue of trust

Advantages: 5.1 sound anywhere you like
Disadvantages: Feels a bit flimsy & cheap, lack of internal mic support?

I came across the trust 510ex when hunting for an external sound card for my new laptop, id never looked at such a product group before now and so chose to rate the various offerings the only way my little Yorkshire self knew how - price. If, like me, you are out there to get portable 5.1 sound compatibility for the lowest price possible then you really can't go too far wrong with this. After a quick session on the usual price comparison engines ...
...for the need of the Trust 510EX, or as it is sometimes known the Trust SC-5500p. As I have previously mentioned, I chose the trust over the offerings from the like of SoundBlaster purely on price. Whilst i'm sure the more expensive rivals may beat the 510 on quality, they can't hold a torch to it on price, and in the grand scheme of things, under £20 to pay for portable 5.1 sound on whatever computer/laptop you plug this into, is very reasonable ...
