I have 2 Radius 1000's I rarily use them, both only have less than 6 hrs of play time on them. I went to go plug them in last week and both units have a disc error, these units are stored in a marathon road case and never leave my house. I am disgusted that now I will have to ship these back to American Audio and pay to have units repaired. as far as I'm concerned these are poorly made units

[adjlighting]

Is there a video on the radius 3000? I've just ordered a pair and they arrive in three weeks. I am a novice so does anyone have any advice on mixers, speakers, software ect.

[adjlighting]

deanavfc84 - We are editing the Radius 3000 video now. It should be up next week. Stay tuned...

[funkypriest08]

dude the pioneer cdj 200 for a pair is £880, thats like another £200 more, nd i swear the radius is better anyway!

[DRGDJ]

cdj 200 pioneer or American Audio Radius 1000 the same price but radius haves more features pioneer is the standard and is more finer¿¿??

[superbsoundandlight]

would 2 of these work correctly with the mx 1400

[roshanbhoj]

Can you use one unit to control two decks when mixing?

[silky1544]

I have had no luck with my 1000's.When I first got mine home from the store

[SoundsationalAgency]

Hey, do you guys by any chance sell the UK Plug for the radius 1000?

[Jordiw00t]

is it possible to plug in an external harddrive or somethig? like a USB port?

[ADJLeo]

@Quipsilon Yes hold down the parameter knob and rotate the JW platter.

[Quipsilon]

@adjlighting can you manually adjust the affects using the jog wheel ?

[PappasProductionz]

hey, um.... so im a DJ that uses my Hercules Midi controller, and i want to convert to CD table top players. Now i've heard a lot that the BPM counter on the 3000 sucks, How is it with the 1000? Is it better than the 3000?
