NEW RANE TOOLS FOR THE BATTLE-READY DJ!

MUKILTEO, WA USA (August 14, 2017)—Rane DJ (Rane), an established innovator in the DJ industry, noted for their standard-setting solutions coupled with unequalled reliability and customer service, today announced the introduction of a new family of important and exciting Battle Ready products for the professional DJ market. These new models are a dramatic and impressive statement strengthening Rane DJ’s position at the forefront of the DJ Stage.

The SEVENTY-TWO Battle Mixer

Recognizing an unfulfilled need in the market for a bulletproof tabletop battle mixer, Rane DJ focused its unmatched Seattle-based engineering capability on the problem and created a new model of unrivaled performance and innovation. With incredibly high build quality in terms of component selection and its all-steel construction, this mixer solidifies Rane DJ’s reputation as the premier mixer brand for turntablists.

The Rane SEVENTY-TWO has been designed in collaboration with DJs and their crews all over the world. This Battle Ready flagship offers the high standards of performance and construction that people rightly expect from Rane, along with ground-breaking technology.

With the RANE SEVENTY-TWO, dual DJs can battle it out with their own laptops simultaneously through the two USB computer connections. With a brand-new 4.3-inch color touch screen interface, the SEVENTY-TWO not only shows Serato DJ’s moving waveforms and their cue points, but also brings a much-needed interactive experience to FX workflows, with two internal FLEX FX engines and stacked Serato DJ Effects.

Importantly, the SEVENTY-TWO will be the first time that users will experience Rane’s brand-new Mag THREE Fader. Dramatically updating their patented, industry-changing Mag Fader design, the new Mag THREE Fader offers a unique touchless, tension-adjustable fader with perfect tactile feel and precision, combined with a long and reliable life. It makes for a DJ experience simply unavailable anywhere else.

The TWELVE Battle Controller

Rane DJ presents the TWELVE Battle Controller, a simple, pure and powerful motorized DJ control system without needle skippage or tone arm hopping. The TWELVE has all the characteristics and simplicity of a “traditional” direct-drive turntable but without the hassle of fragile needles and skipping tone arms. Keeping things consistent with a familiar turntable layout and size, the only clear differentiator is a precision, multi-function touch strip for track searching and setting or triggering hot cues in place of the tone arm.

The vinyl experience is fully customizable with your favorite slipmat. With an all-metal body like the SEVENTY-TWO, the TWELVE is built like a tank, but it has the agility of a sports car. It is truly BattleReady. With the TWELVE, the DJ can scratch and play with all the direct spontaneity and creativity of a turntablist, but with the precision, repeatability and durability of the best digitally-based solutions. The TWELVE is the very best of both. There is simply nothing else like it, anywhere.

Highlights of the TWELVE:

• Full 12” Vinyl with motorized platter to control playback
• Traditional, familiar turntable layout, no need to learn something new
• Strip Search with 8 hot cue triggers access
• 5.0 kfcm High torque motor with Hi/Low torque adjust for more traditional setups
• 4 decks of control so you can use one, two or more
• Extreme precision—3600 ticks of platter resolution for seamless performance
• MIDI interface via USB that can be connected to the SEVENTY-TWO or your computer
• 33 1/3 and 45 rpm platter speeds
• 8/16/50% pitch with precise dual resolution detented slider
• Top Panel rotary and traditional Motor Off switch, allows traditional wind down effects
