The latest version of the Denon Prime Engine (1.3.4) provides support for the 10.15 Catalina Mac operating system for flexible compatibility. It also provides support for the Apple Music app, making it easier than ever to incorporate your favourite tracks.
Version 1.3.4 also features new workflow enhancements with a slightly revamped interface that places the Add Crate, Playlist, Playlist Folder icons in the browser view of the collection panel. Crate, Playlist, third-party collection and folder icons are now located on the left side bar and the Device Panel can now show multiple devices simultaneously.
The Prime 2 features a 7-inch touchscreen that allows you to make precise alterations to audio. The multi-gesture experience offered by the touchscreen means you can navigate your audio collection, swipe to load tracks and instantly search through large music libraries. This can significantly improve your workflow and help you achieve professional-quality performances anywhere.
The Prime 2 offers three USB and SD inputs to play your music from. This is ideal when multiple DJ’s are playing, allowing for seamless changes between sets. As if that wasn’t enough, the Prime 2 also features a built-in 2.5 inch HDD bay for loading huge music collections into the console. All these source inputs can be used to record your set, even the source currently streaming the audio from. This captures every detail of your set, including track hot-cues, loops and performance parameters for quick recall at a later date.
In a world of streaming, the Prime 2 helps put over 60 million songs at your fingertips. The Prime 2 can be connected to Wi-Fi or mobile data to stream music directly from Tidal. This completely eliminates the need for a laptop and is sure to have even the most left-field requests covered. More streaming partners to become available in the future.
There’s no need to compromise on audio, regardless of the environment. The Prime 2 offers Denon DJ’s renowned 24 bit/48kHz pristine audio quality. This is accessed via the variety of connectivity options located on the Prime 2. The Prime 2 controller also features a StagelinQ connection which can control SoundSwitch lighting, Resolume video and TimeCode software. This makes it easy to sync your music to mobile and mainstage lighting setup, helping turn a standard DJ set into a professional production.
The Prime 2 has all the tools you’ll need to create a performance to remember including two-line faders, contour-controlled crossfader and 6-inch capacitive touch jog wheels with HD colour displays. These detail the song/DJ artwork and loop/track information. Combined with the expressive 3-band EQ, you can edit, shape and blend audio to your heart's content. To go one step further, utilise Prime 2’s dual FX mode and filter control to add effects and modulation.
The Prime 2 puts control at your fingertips with eight, ultra-responsive trigger pads (per channel) for hot-cues, loops, beat rolls and slicing; just about every parameter you can think of. This is paired with Denon’s class-leading time stretch and key shift/sync function allowing for radical changes to song tempo and musical key.
No need to use your line faders, the Prime 2 offers dual independent, level-controlled microphone channels. These are accessed via XLR-1/4-inch combo inputs. The talk over feature makes full use of this by automatically adjusting the level, allowing you to make your big announcement.
Making sure your performance goes uninterrupted is Denon DJ’s ENGINE OS. This allows every component to operate at its best, meaning you can concentrate on your performance. The software can be frequently updated, ensuring you are always up to date in the DJing world. You will also gain access to the ENGINE PRIME library software. This is your one-stop music library and set prep tool, connecting seamlessly to other popular music collection resources. Using just the Prime 2, you are also able to import a full Rekordbox collection straight from the media source. This is then internally analysed within the Prime 2 unit.
The DN-508S combines a 1'' silk dome tweeter, a 5.25'' woven Kevlar midrange driver and an 8'' woven Kevlar low-frequency driver. This combination of professional-quality drivers and tweeter produce a dynamic, wide-range frequency response and exceeds the performance of most speakers found in world-class recording studios.
The midrange driver is custom made and designed specifically to cover the critical middle frequencies. Most of the everyday sounds we hear - voices, instruments such as guitar and saxophone and naturally-occurring sounds such as handclaps and footsteps - are midrange frequencies. By having a custom driver dedicated to this range, the DN-508s maximize clarity and detail, perfect for situations requiring exceptional speech intelligibility.
Both the midrange driver and tweeter are mounted in line with each other (the tweeter is mounted at the apex of the midrange driver) at precisely the same point. This unique design provides the DN-508S with the ability to integrate the sound from both of the drivers seamlessly, without the audibly-distracting time/arrival distortion.
The 1'' silk dome tweeter boasts a concave waveguide that helps to precisely focus and direct the treble energy into the listening field. By doing so, this ensures a solid and stable sonic image while minimizing the random acoustic ''scatter'' that often causes the sound to be unfocused and indistinct. Additionally, the tweeter utilises Ferro-fluid voice coil cooling for added reliability at high power inputs, while the woven-silk diaphragm imparts virtually no hardness or ''listening fatigue'' as is often the case with less sophisticated tweeters.
Three individual Class A/B amplifiers provide power to each of the three separate speaker elements. These amplifiers have been specially tailored to the drivers that they are paired with, guaranteeing seamless operation and system synergy that is virtually impossible to equal using the equivalent expensive outboard amplifiers and passive speakers.
Delivering 220 watts total power output (RMS), the DN-508S has more than ample headroom for even the most demanding situations. The carefully selected crossover points divide the frequency spectrum into precise bands so that each individual driver only handles the exact frequency range where it's most accurate.
The amplifiers are complete with specialized output current limiting circuitry that protects against both distortion and overheating, as well as a muting on/off circuit to prevent speaker transient on-off ''pops''. Also included is a subsonic filter and an external mains fuse, all of which combines together to ensure ideal amplifier behavior without any unpleasant noises or distractions.
The versatile three-band EQ provides you with flexibility that allows you to shape the sound to match your listening environment, without the need for expensive external equalization. The switchable low-cut filter LF cutoff switch is perfect for tailoring the speaker's bass response when using the DN-508S with an external subwoofer.
A three-position proximity control adapts each speaker's bass response for placement next to or away from walls, ensuring the sound is always clear and well-balanced regardless of the position within the room. Balanced XLR and 1/4'' (6.3mm) inputs make connecting to common audio sources quick and simple. Complete with standard VESA mounting holes on the bottom panel of the cabinet, the DN-508S can be placed anywhere from tabletops and shelves to walls and ceilings.
