INPUTS FOR FOUR
TURNTABLES OR CD
DECKS ARE INDIVIDUALLY
SWITCHABLE ON THE SL4.
UP = PHONO
DOWN = CD.
The SL4 connects up to four vinyl turntables or CD
players to one or two laptops, using the mixer of
your choice.
The SL4 is the first standalone DJ interface with
two USB ports for seamless DJ changeover and
back-to-back performances. Get superior sound
with high quality 96 kHz, 24-bit audio. Built-in
galvanic isolation between USB and audio, with
turn on/off muting, ensures that only the purest
interference-free audio signal is heard. Low-latency
ASIO and Core Audio drivers allow using the SL4
as a studio production tool with multiple third-party
software applications.
The SL4 includes four 12˝ Serato Control records
and four Control CDs, two USB cables, and RCA
audio cables to your mixer. An international power
supply with country adaptors is included to insure
continuous performance between DJs. A soft
zippered carrying case for the SL4 is included.
Galvanic isolation guarantees audio is actively
isolated from USB and power. The RIAA phono
equalization is extremely accurate, for the best
sound from your vinyl. 3Vrms inputs are accepted
from CD decks without clipping, and outputs
3Vrms go to the mixer without clipping; other
interfaces can’t handle this much signal. A list of
supported MIDI controllers is at serato.com.

The SL4 includes Serato DJ
