Power Dynamics PDX350 - Dual CD, MP3 and USB DJ Player

The Power Dynamics PDX350 is a dual media playback solution designed specifically to meet the demands of DJs, sound engineers, and professional audio enthusiasts.

Equipped with two large, rubberized jog wheels, the PDX350 provides tactile and precise control over playback.

• Triple Function Touch Jog Wheels: The control dials allow you to switch between three modes: Pitch Bend for fine speed adjustments, Scratch for vinyl effects, and Search for quick and accurate track navigation.

For installers, its rack-mountable form factor and standard RCA outputs ensure quick and easy integration into sound systems in bars, restaurants, gyms, or any venue requiring a versatile and continuous music source.

Use Cases

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I connect an external hard drive to the USB ports?

Yes, the PDX350 supports external hard drives as long as they are formatted in the FAT16 or FAT32 file system.

Does each player use its own USB port?

Yes, each of the two players has its own assigned USB port, allowing you to play and manage two USB sources completely independently and simultaneously.

What information is displayed on the LCD screen?

The screen displays vital information such as track number, playback time (elapsed, remaining), pitch percentage, active playback mode (CD/USB), and loop status.

How does anti-shock memory work?

The system reads 40 seconds of the track in advance and stores them in internal memory (RAM buffer). If the CD player is vibrated or bumped, the music plays back from this memory while the laser repositions itself, thus preventing any audible interruption.
