Since the advent of the CD format in the DJ realm performance DJs have dreamt of a solution that would combine the classic feel of a turntable with the ability to play both CDs and vinyl. With the release of the Gemini CDT-05 that dream has now become a reality.

The CDT-05's sturdy aluminum platter is driven by a CPU-controlled high-torque direct drive motor suited for vinyl playback or CD manipulation. In both analog (vinyl) and digital (CD) modes DJs are provided with a variable pitch control with selectable ranges of 4 8 16 or 50 percent along with pitch bend function as well as master tempo. Additionally 3 DSP effects (Filter Zoom and Echo) with variable parameter and a forward/reverse switch can be accessed in either mode.

During CD playback the CDT-05 affords 3 hot starts frame accurate cue and seamless loop for ultimate flexibility in the digital domain. The motor can also be disengaged for DJs that prefer CD decks with a passive non-motor driven platter. Vinyl DJs will appreciate the removable straight tone arm system (sold separately) as well as the versatility of having an all-in-one unit to move forward with the digital revolution while preserving the legacy of vinyl.
