Stanton's FinalScratch 2.0 is a complete package that lets you play digital music files from any analog turntable or CD player with ultra-natural feel and response. Whether cueing, mixing or scratching, it's an amazing system. With quick setup, professional 24-bit/96kHz sound quality and the power of Native Instruments Traktor FS 2 software, FinalScratch 2 is the ultimate way for DJs to play digital the analog way! At the heart of FinalScratch 2 is the improved ScratchAmp 2, a firewire sound card that delivers maximum audio throughput with minimal latency. Plug in your own turntables, CD players and microphone to industry-standard 24-bit/96kHz converters for studio-quality sound. And because the ScratchAmp 2 is passive, you can run audio through the amp without power. The ScratchAmp 2 uses FireWire protocol to process multi-channel audio with minimal latency, allowing the software decks to respond as quickly as your hands. A FireWire thru port lets you connect an external hard drive or even an Apple iPod. Thanks to its MIDI in and out ports, the ScratchAmp 2 is ready to connect with many of the vast MIDI controllers available for additional “hands-on†control. The small and rugged aluminum chassis is perfect for home use or on the road. Compatible with Mac or PC, Traktor FS 2 software gives DJs a simple, yet powerful way to organize music and play it back using two "virtual decks." Traktor FS 2 supports today’s most popular file formats—including MP3, WAV, AIFF, AAC and WMA—and can even play tracks right off your computer’s CD-ROM drive or an external firewire hard disk.
