  Weight sensors detect the user's touch by detecting the hand's weight, to activate scratch mode.
  Detection of the hand's weight activating the jog wheels' touch control is:
  - natural: like on vinyl turntables and high-end CD players.
  - secure: no disturbance from static electricity.
  - intuitive: no need to calibrate.

  Press down
  The hand's weight moves the jog wheels down by 1mm:
  - press the jog wheel down: you feel that you're scratching.
  - move your hand up: you feel that you've released the jog wheel.

  Jog wheels' control over the DJ software
  While the track plays, you control the DJ software with 2 actions on the jog wheel:
  - rotation, to control movement within the track.
  - press down to control scratching.
  Thus, during audio track playback:
  - Rotation without jog wheel press = pitch bend (like when you turn a turntable's ring).
  - Rotation with jog wheel press = scratch (like when you turn a vinyl record with your hand flat on the record).
  - No rotation with jog wheel press = stop playback (like when you stop a vinyl record's rotation with your hand).
  - No rotation without jog wheel press = playback continues.

  Jog wheel accuracy
  Rotation: 256 steps per revolution = 1.4 degrees per step.
  Press down: <1mm travel.

  2-deck and 4-deck DJ mixing controller

  2-deck control
  DJ Console 4 MX controls 2 decks in the same way as DJ Console Rmx.
  4-deck control
  DJ Console 4 MX controls both 2 decks and 4 decks, with 2 buttons switching the decks:
  - a deck switch button on the left deck converts deck A into C / deck C into A.
  - a deck switch button on the right deck converts deck B into D / deck D into B.
  Once a deck is switched:
  - all of the commands that the deck's controls send to the DJ software are changed.
  - the letter of the active deck is highlighted in the center of the mixer.

  Audio for mobile and club DJs
  2 stereo outputs:
  2 independent stereo outputs on the rear panel:
  - 4 RCA connectors to connect to a stereo system, a recorder...
  - 4 mono connectors in 1/4 inch jack format, to connect to a PA amplifier or speakers.
  A ground lift switch on jack outputs 1-2, to protect the sound in the event of a ground loop.
  1 headphones 1/4 inch stereo output, located both on the top panel and on the front panel.
  The headphones play the same channels as outputs 3-4 on the rear panel.
  The 2 ways of using DJ Console 4-Mx's audio outputs are:
  For a mix inside DJ Console 4-Mx:
  - connect the speakers/amplifier to outputs 1-2, to play the mix for your audience.
  - connect headphones to one of the 2 headphone outputs (front or top), to preview tracks.
  For an external mix (using an external mixer - VirtualDJ Pro (not included) or other DJ software required):
  - connect DJ Console 4-Mx outputs 1-2 to inputs 1-2 on the external mixer.
  - connect DJ Console 4-Mx outputs 3-4 to inputs 3-4 on the external mixer.
  - mix on the external mixer, and connect headphones to the external mixer.
  - use DJ Console 4-Mx to control the virtual decks.
  2 stereo inputs:
  2 independent stereo inputs via 4 RCA connectors:
  - Select the audio source type in the DJ Console 4-Mx control panel: phono/consumer line/pro line/boost.
  - Boost mode supports +8dBu signal level (for use with Pioneer CDJ players, for example).
  - If the audio sources are vinyl turntables at phono level, connect the turntables' ground cables to the DJ Console 4-Mx's grounding screw.
  1 microphone 1/4 inch jack mono input, located on both the top panel and the front panel.
  The microphone input can be set:
  - as a talk-over source (default mode): the microphone is played on outputs 1-2 over the music in the background, using the music attenuation level set in the DJ Console 4-Mx control panel (0dB, -3dB, -6dB or -9dB).
  - or as a standard source, replacing inputs 1-2.
  DJ Console 4-Mx pre-amplifies the microphone input by up to +34dB. zZounds is an authorized dealer of Hercules products.
