Called "the most feature-laden 19 inch DJ mixer available" by Allen & Heath's chief designer Andy Rigby-Jones, the S2 is the latest in the Xone family. Complete with four phono/line channels, two mic/line channels, legendary Xone filter, front panel inputs, USB connectivity and more bells and whistles than a percussion ensemble, the S2 is the kind of Pro piece that every DJ would want to see in their booth. Its faders are easily swappable between rotary and linear without having to take it from the rack. Of course it is also built like a tank and sounds incredible. To top it off, it looks stunning with four colors of LEDs on its black panel. -PM

The "nerve-center" of the modern DJ rig, the Denon DN-HD2500 combines a full-featured control surface, internal 40 GB hard drive, PC MIDI controller, 24 bit /44.1 kHz sound card, and file navigation system into one rack-mountable device. If 40 gigs aren't enough for you, the unit allows for USB 2.0 storage devices and optional CD drives. Additional features include effects, a jog wheel that scratches, loops, and cue points galore. In an attempt to organize the ever-growing mp3 universe, the unit ships with Denon DJ Music Manager PC Software. You thought vinyl was becoming obsolete? File that idea next to your dust-covered CDs. -PM

Replacing the need for a mixer, turntable or CD player, the VCI-100 is a MIDI controller that interacts with DJ software via two jog wheels and faders. The jog wheels are built with the same sensor and control technology as Vestax turntables to allow scratching with next to no latency. The curve generator that controls the crossfader gives the DJ Pro features even if the software they are controlling doesn't allow for curve control. The unit can be powered with USB or an exclusive power adapter. The VCI-100 ships with Native Instrument Traktor LE. Its durable metal housing is about the size of a laptop. -PM
