Priced at $399.95, it is suited for entry-level or mobile DJs.
Our take
As a DJ looking for a compact controller to handle my digital music collection, the iScratch201 caught my eye. It's a single deck unit with 8 pads and auto BPM detection, which helps when you're mixing tracks on the fly. The build feels solid enough for tabletop use, and having a mic input is handy for announcements. However, the 16-bit/44.1 kHz audio conversion is dated, and the lack of more advanced connectivity like USB audio out limits its flexibility. The price point is reasonable for what you get, but if you need more decks or modern sound quality, you might want to look elsewhere.
