American Audio Introduces Encore 1000 & Encore 2000

All-In-One Dual  CD-MP3 Players With 2-Channel Audio Mixer

LOS ANGELES –  (For Immediate Release) – Getting in the  groove in the digital realm has never been easier, now that American Audio has  introduced the Encore 1000 and Encore 2000 dual CD/MP3 player/mixer  units. Each of these exciting “all-in-one” combos includes everything DJs need  to play and mix MP3s, CDs and CD-R discs like a pro in one affordable, portable,  easy-to-use piece of gear.

Both the Encore  1000 and Encore 2000 contain two playback decks for audio or MP3 CDs – one on  each side -- along with a built-in 2-channel professional audio mixer that’s  ready to connect to power speakers or an amplifier via XLR outputs.  Both models also feature line inputs for  hooking up external CD players, a mic input, and an auxiliary mini jack input on  the front that’s great for connecting an MP3 player or satellite radio.

With professional  features like Balanced XLR Outputs, Touch Sensitive Scratching, Relay Playback  and Q Start, the Encore 1000 and Encore 2000 make it easy for any DJ to elevate  their performance to the next level.   DJs will stay better organized and in greater command of their show too,  since both models offer convenient tools like a large, bright LCD display that  shows track/folder name, elapsed/remaining time, Auto BPM, Pitch and other  important information.

The step-up model  Encore 2000 is a multi-media player that caters to DJs who have ventured further  into the digital world, or would like to do so. In addition to all the features  listed above, it has a MIDI controller, which allows it to be used with a  computer as well as discs.  The 2000  model is equipped with two USB inputs for thumb drives or hard drives, and it  comes bundled with Virtual DJ LE software so you can start digital DJ-ing right  out of the box.  It also features an  MP3 cradle that mounts just above its auxiliary input, making it easy for DJs to  play tracks from their MP3 player.

“Both American  Audio Encore models are ideal for DJs of all levels, especially those who are  getting started in mixing or digital DJ-ing and want a compact unit that gives  them all the components and tools they need,” said Tom Freret, national sales  manager for American Audio.  “The  Encore 1000 and 2000 are not only very affordable and user-friendly, they also  have lots of pro features that you’d expect to find only on upper-end gear.  They deliver professional sound quality,  too, with an extremely clean signal-to-noise ratio.  Plus, they’re very robust and solid, so  they can stand up to life on the road.”

Other features on  the Encore 1000 and 2000 include Seamless Loop; Tempo Lock; Instant Start; a +10  Track Advance Button; Pitch Range (+/-4\%, +/-8\%, +/-16\%); and Anti Shock (20  seconds per side).  The mixer on  both units has Bass, Mid Treble and Gain adjustment for each channel, as well as  Master Level, Mic Level, Cue Mix and Cue Level adjustment.

Designed for easy  transport, each unit measures a compact 17.75”L x 11.25”W x 4.5”H/ 450 x 285 x  110mm, and weighs only 11 lbs./5 kg.   Another travel-friendly feature is multi-voltage operation: AC 115-230V,  50/60Hz.
