Simple Plug and Play Operation
Connect the USB cable to power, the Ethernet cable to your network, and the RCA audio cable into any spare mixer channel. No need for setup or configuration.
Compatible With
- CDJ-3000
NOTE: Cardinia Mini works by emulating a mixer. If a DJM mixer is detected on the same network, Cardinia Mini will automatically disable itself and let the DJM take priority. This means if you want to take advantage of Cardinia Mini's features and mix with a DJM-900NXS or DJM-2000NXS, the DJM must be disconnected from the network.
⚠️ Cardinia is most likely not compatible with XDJ-XZ. |
