PAGE 19
7. F.A.Q. 1) My computer has a built-in sound card, so why would I need a DJ sound card? 2) Why is a DJ audio interface better than a standard good audio interface? ENGLISH Computers generally only provide stereo playback, allowing you to play your mix on the stereo output, but without a DJ sound card you lack a second stereo output and a solid preamplifier to preview your mixes on your headphones.
PAGE 20
bus to save energy, DJs may experience changes in the audio output level caused by such power fluctuations on the USB bus. Powering the high-speed USB hub separately secures the audio output level with any configuration, and prevents compatibility issues on some laptops whose USB ports’ voltage is too low.
