Torq Conectiv delivers high-fidelity audio, all the right kinds of I/O (including dual phono preamps), and the ability to cue, beat-match and mix digital files with ease. Use M-Audio Torq Conectiv as a completely digital solution or process your vinyl and CDs on the fly through the built-in effects. You can also create a hybrid digital/vinyl DJ rig with specially encoded Torq Control CDs and Torq Control Vinyl disks. Torq supports popular file formats such as MP3, WAV, WMA and AAC files and M-Audio Torq Conectiv is configured to automatically work with Conectiv right out of the box. And unlike most digital DJ systems, the Conectiv interface works with other third-party software as well.

Torq Control Vinyl disk allows you to control audio files in Torq with the same feel and response as real vinyl records. Simply connect a turntable to a suitable audio interface like M-Audio Conectiv, enable external control in Torq, and you'll be able to cue and scratch your music just as if you were using the original records. With incredibly fast response, Torq Control Vinyl disks let you use even the most intricate scratching techniques, and bi-directional positioning ensures that Torq precisely tracks the vinyl for perfect beat-juggling. Disks are sold individually.
