The Mackie d.4 pro is a professional 4-Channel DJ Production Console with FireWire.

The Mackie d.4 pro features premium studio grade VCA-based analog circuitry, two of Mackie’s flagship Onyx mic preamplifiers, audiophile-grade phono preamps, an Infinium contact-free crossfader, sweepable analog filter effects, true wet/dry stereo aux send, and XLR balanced main outputs.

The d.4 pro is the first DJ-style console to offer onboard 14x8 FireWire connectivity with 24 bit/96kHz sampling rates. So you can plug directly into your FireWire-ready Mac or PC (Mac OSX 10.3.9 or higher, Windows XP, SP2 or higher), and start spinning all your digital music files from iTunes, Traktor Scratch, Ableton Live and more.

The d.4 pro’s FireWire connectivity also lets you record your sets and original music productions directly to your computer without any additional hardware.
