By using adaptive platter technology that automatically calibrates itself for optimum performance regardless of humidity or environmental changes, the touch-sensitive jog wheel accurately controls scratch, search, and backspin functionality with precision and reliability. Extensive track manipulation is offered through the adjustable start/stop time, creating vinyl-style braking and power-up/down effects. Hot cues create direct access to key points within a song, while the looping section and stutter-start functionality afford a seamless mix foundation for precision transitions.

The NDX500 can be connected directly to a computer, offering pre-mapped hardware controls for the optional Serato DJ software, but may be used to control any DJ style software. The built-in USB audio interface allows direct audio playback from a connected Mac or PC, while providing library management and the display of critical information via the back-lit display. The NDX500 ships with a stereo RCA cable, USB cable, and power cord.
