Dedicated 3-band EQ controls for each channel are accompanied by versatile cue, pan, and mix parameters to blend tracks and FX for stunning performances anywhere, thanks to the robust onboard speakers.





Smooth operator





SC Live controllers spare no effort in providing unbridled DJ capabilities that are just as potent if you want to go laptop-free. Switch gears to “Computer Mode” to use the included Serato DJ Pro license, ensuring detailed, 1:1 software integration to use the SC Live with the full Serato suite of tools. The SC Live series are also designed for use with Virtual DJ (license not included), with the high-definition touchscreen for accessing information and performance tools for either program. Each deck is allotted four performance pads that can be used to access a total of eight functions for each pad, each of which are independently assignable for Hot Cue, Roll, Auto Loop, Manual Loop, and more.





Responsive, reactive playback





Armed with two 6-inch jog wheels, the SC Live affords precision performance with scratch and back cueing, as well as a vinyl mode and slip cue that are easily toggled. Pitch and tempo changes can be accomplished via range-selectable pitch bend buttons or the tempo slider, available for each deck. A user-friendly interface lets you painlessly manage tracks and playback tools, featuring four sweep FX and 16 bpm FX for a perfectly personalized performance. Use the dedicated key- and tempo-sync buttons as well as looping, beat jump, and track skip features to dial in tracks and transitions with ease. Obtain real-time visual feedback with the 7-inch, high-definition display, loaded with multi-gesture touch support.





Plug in at any stage





As the curator of the crowd, reliable connectivity is a must. The SC Live 4 is outfitted with two microphone inputs, dedicated talkover toggle, and volume adjustment, letting you communicate easily without the risk of disrupting your performance. The ins and outs allow for painless use in any performance. Front-loaded headphone jacks are available in both 3.5-milimeter and 1/4-inch varieties, accommodating your headphones of choice while preventing wires from getting tangled, mid-show. Dedicated XLR, RCA, and 1/4-inch booth outputs ensure connectivity in most systems without compromising audio quality. Two USB-A ports are accompanied by a USB-B port and an SD card slot, letting you connect to your tunes or your computer on your terms, with additional auxiliary inputs for expanded audio integration.
