Cortex HDC-500

It’s “in” with a revolutionary new era in digital DJ technology and “out” with laptops and bulky crates of vinyl and CDs, thanks to Cortex’s USB-compatible digital music controllers — the first of their kind in the industry.

Simply hook up any USB storage device such as a flash drive, external hard drive, CD-ROM, or even an iPod®, and you’re good to go. Just plug in and play! The Cortex HDC-500 gives DJs more power to cue, play, manipulate, and even scratch digital files than ever before. Use the “intelligent music database management” system to find any track lightning fast by artist, title, genre, even by words or phrases; play them with ultra-precise pitch resolution.
