black cube)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>with a laptop with their software<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\"

LAN hub.<br>This enables the device to tap into the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.deejayplaza.com\/en\/articles\/pro-dj-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Pro DJ link protocol<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>USB<\/strong><br>You connect with a USB cable to the mixer.<br>This enables the cube\/laptop to record your EQ knobs and fader positions.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Be aware that you need a laptop anyway for their software to edit your mix.<br>One catch: it only works with selected Alphatheta equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2
