Ever been rocking your iPod at a party and a really lame song comes up in the shuffle? Nothing is worse than that ackward silence as you scroll through your playlist to find something more appropriate to play.
Times like this call for a mixer. The problem is that most mixers are expensive and heavy and unless you’re a pro DJ you’re not about to haul one to a party. Enter the xFader a tiny crossfader designed for iPod DJing. While not a full mixer, the xFader provides an easy way to fade between two sources.
When a lame song comes on, simply fade into a second iPod in the on-deck circle and keep the party going. The xFader features two standard 3.5mm stereo mini plugs so it connects to any device with an audio output – not just iPods. A standard 3.5mm stereo mini jack allows you to connect to any stereo or PA via the included RCA patch cable
The xFader is also great for when that guy invariably comes up and says “you’ve gotta play this!” The xFader weighs in at less than 3 ounces and is encased in a pocketable plastic case. You can pick one up for US$40 (shipped) from TheXFader.com.
