NEXTBEAT WIRELESS DJ DEVICE

WACOM NEXTBEAT WIRELESS DJ DEVICE

Wacom’s Nextbeat 1000 all-in-one DJing device is out to totally transform how DJs work the crowd. But will it please, or is it just a tease? DJ Sonny Wharton puts it through its paces…

Wacom are not your usual DJ kit manufacturer. In fact they are one of the leading lights in the computer tablet and touchpad market so it is with interest that we approach the Nextbeat 1000. This is an interesting bit of kit that goes against the current scheme of things when it comes to the whole digital DJing experience. The Nextbeat 1000 is meant to be the “one stop, do-it-all” machine for the performing DJ. It takes its lead from the old two decks one mixer approach that we all love and know so well, albeit stuffed into one very
neatly contained box
