'Gum Drop Giveaway #103

One winner gets Native Instruments' AUDIO 2 DJ ultra-compact 4-channel USB 2.0 audio interface, i.e. the world's smallest USB audio interface for DJs. Or, as Native Instruments puts it:

With a footprint no larger than a deck of cards, the bus-powered AUDIO 2 DJ literally fits in a pocket. At the same time, it can accommodate the most demanding club systems due to its studio-grade 24bit/96kHz Cirrus Logic converters and its special high-power output amplifiers capable of delivering a pristine +9.7dBu audio signal. Robust low-latency drivers for Windows and Mac OS X enable the responsiveness that DJs need for tight mixing.

The dual stereo outputs of the AUDIO 2 DJ provide the necessary connectivity to route two decks separately into an external DJ mixer, or to output independent master and cue signals when mixing in software. Two included RCA break-out cables make set-up fast and convenient, making AUDIO 2 DJ the ideal audio interface for travelling DJs who don't want to compromise on performance and quality.

It looks like this:

To illustrate the portability, here's traceur Stephane Vigroux free-running with one in London.
