“V”  Is For Versatility And Value

Bundled  With Updated Virtual DJ LE Software

Newest  Addition to VMS Series Features 2 MIDILOG™ (MIDI & Analog)  Channels, Innofader  Cross-Fader Option, Exclusive “D-Core” Sound Engine &  More

LOS  ANGELES (For  Immediate Release) –  When it hit the market last year, American Audio’s VMS4 4-channel MIDI  controller was hailed by many as “the ultimate DJ tool” for its total  versatility in adapting to way today’s DJs play – whether you use a computer for  digital DJ-ing, a traditional analog mixer, or some of both.  Now American Audio is building on the  success of this marvelous MIDI machine with the  addition of a new model to the VMS Series – the VMS2 Digital Work Station, a compact,  highly affordable 2-channel version that comes bundled with an updated edition  of Virtual DJ LE software.

Like  the original, the new VMS2 features MIDILOG™ channels (in this case 2 channels)  that are compatible with both any type MIDI  software or analog inputs such as CD players or turntables, giving DJs total  flexibility to move freely between the digital and analog worlds.  Also like its larger cousin, the VMS2  can be used with either a PC or Mac, making it one of the most adaptable pieces  of gear on the planet!

The  VMS2 also offers more features and a higher level of performance than other  units in its price range. For starters, it contains American Audio’s exclusive  “D-Core” Audio Engine, which provides professional studio quality sound and very  high output.  It also features  balanced XLR outputs, a combo XLR/ ¼” mic input, and a built-in 4 In/ 4 Out  Sound Card.  Additionally, like the  original model, the VMS2 can be used with an Innofader replacement crossfader  (sold separately), an option that puts it in a class with the very top pro gear  on the market.  All of this for a  MAP of just $349.99!

And  of course, the VMS2 comes bundled with popular, easy-to-use Virtual DJ LE  software, adding to its value and allowing you to start digital DJ-ing right out  of the box.  The new, updated  version of Virtual DJ LE contained in this package offers added features such as  Smart Scratch and Clone, which will further enhance your performance.  Those who prefer to use other DJ  software programs will be happy to know that the VMS2 can accommodate those too  -- after all, one of the things the “V” in its name stands for is  “versatility.”

“We  are very proud to introduce theVMS2, which offers more features, more  performance and more value than any product in its class,” said Tom Freret,  National Sales Manager for American Audio.   “The response to our original VMS4 was so overwhelming when it was  introduced last year that we decided to create a 2-channel version for DJs who  didn’t need as large a unit, but wanted all of the amazing features and  versatility that made it such a revolutionary product.  The VMS2 is designed for DJs who want a  high-performance, all-in-one MIDI controller  that will allow them to play MP3 tracks from their computer, plus have the  option to add analog components such as CD players and turntables.  It will definitely help them step up  their performance to the next level.”

Other  features on the VMS2 include: adjustable crossfader curve, 3-band Q with rotary  kills, Booth and Master RCA Outputs and 39 MIDI buttons with LED  illumination  Plus, it features 34  assignable rotary controllers, 10 assignable linear fader controllers, and dual  2048 point resolution touch-sensitive turntable scratch controllers.

In  addition to being designed for the way they play, the VMS2 was built for the way  today’s DJs travel.  Its heavy-duty  industrial grade steel construction can withstand the knocks, bumps and other  punishment that gear takes on the road. As an added convenience, rack rails are  included for mounting the unit to a 19-inch rack mount  case.

Another  feature that makes the VMS2 such a great traveling companion is its compact,  easily-portable size.  It measures a  trim 15.75”L x 12”W x 2.5”H/ 400 x 300 x 65mm, and weighs only 9 lbs./ 5  kg.

The  MSRP of the VMS2 is $479.95 (MAP $349.99)
