With the DJbooth.net crew representin' at the 2010 DJ Expo of Atlantic City this week, we are bringing you a quick feature of some new Denon Products that we will show you better looks at on next week's DJ Expo Video coverage! For now, here are a few press releases and photos of the new DN-X600 (2-channel mixer), DN-SC2000 (Single MIDI Controller), and the DN-MC6000 (4-Deck MIDI Controller).

DJ Controllers

A couple of months ago at the Atlantic City DJ Expo of 2010, I was able to show a video on djbooth.net of the Denon DN-S3700 working in Hybrid mode on Serato and Traktor. Now the Firmware update has been released and is free to download for all Denon DN-S3700 owners. This update will allow users to use the unit with Serato (or any other DVS) without the need of timecode CD's. More information inside.

Denon DJ Division is doing something great to give back to the DJ's that have made them successful throughout the years. Introducing the new Denon DJ Mixer Rebate promotion for DJ's in the United States that are looking to purchase a Denon DJ Mixer. Now when a DJ purchases a DN-X series mixer, they will also get a free set of Denon PRO DJ headphones. There is a Denon DJ Mixer for every DJ style ranging between two channel mixers all the way up to four channel models. The Rebates will be available from now until April 30th so act fast if you need a Denon DJ Mixer!

Headphones

For the NAMM 2015 show, Denon DJ has announced its third new piece of equipment for the day which is the Denon MC4000 Serato Intro DJ controller. The new Denon DJ MC4000 controller will come bundled with Serato DJ, has a great metal chassis, two microphone inputs for Mobile DJ's, and a compact footprint to easily transport and store when taking it on the go.

Since news is relatively slow this week, I've got some one-off DJ Industry Insider informational blog entries such as this one. D&M Professional (AKA Denon) is sending a huge shout-out and big-ups to its best marketing partner in the business, Hudson Marketing.

Check out the HD-Video results of the 2nd annual Denon DJ/ Boom Entertainment DJ Battle. Held once again at this year's B96 Summer Bash in Chicago, IL, this year's battle (and the nation's only 14-21 age-group DJ battle) was bigger and better than ever. Follow Celebrity Judges including DJ Flipside and DJ Mark E as they crown the champion in the finals of the 17-21 class in the video after the jump.

The Denon DJ Booth had a GREAT showing at this year's 2012 Atlantic City DJ Expo at the Trump Taj Mahal hotel and casino. They had all of their controllers like the MC6000 and MC3000 on display with all flavors of software for DJ's to try them on. Also on hand was the SC3900 and SC2900 for DJ's to get the feel of. The SC2900 will not be released in the United States until October when I'll be sure to get a full review. Check out the booth coverage in the meantime to see how it looks in person!

DJ Controllers

After teasing us with a few shaky promotional videos and news articles, Denon DJ has finally (and officially) announced the Denon SC3900 Multi-Media USB MIDI controller. This new controller boasts iPod, CD, and USB slots for playback and can be used as an all-out MIDI controller with it's buttons and sliders being fully mappable for a Computer DJ's needs. The 9-inch actively spinning platter makes the S3900 a top-choice for hip-hop and Scratch DJ's and timecode can be used without the use of CD's. Check out the press release inside for all the specs.
