Numark

Numark is a company with over 40 years of history, having created hundreds of innovative products in its industry: the first DJ mixer with a built-in sampler, the first professional dual CD player, the first DJ system with a hard disk, the first DJ system with iOS support, and much, much more. Numark considers its main mission to be the continuous development and adaptation of new technologies that can help DJs reach new heights, no matter what level they play at. Numark provides DJs with revolutionary solutions that combine classic playing sensations with cutting-edge capabilities.

From the very beginning of its existence, Numark has paid the greatest attention to the needs and desires of DJs themselves, the people for whom Numark was created. The second priority was the introduction of innovations that could move the entire electronic music industry forward. With this approach, the company was able to pave its unique path to the top of success and become one of the leaders in the production of the entire range of DJ equipment.

The Numark brand was founded in Edison, New Jersey, USA, by Harry and Robert Kotowski in 1971. In the 70s, Numark gained a strong following for its mixers and turntables, and was considered one of the leading manufacturers in the industry during the disco era. In the 80s, the company made its mark with the DM1775, the first mixer with a built-in sampler.

In 1991, Numark was purchased by former Stanton Magnetics sales and marketing head Jack O'Donnell. With an even stronger focus on technology and innovation, Numark began to differentiate itself from its competitors by creating DJ equipment with cutting-edge design and functionality. It didn't take long for this to pay off, and Numark became the leader in what was then a market consisting of mixers, turntables, and CD players. Today, with a much larger product line, Numark is still known for its solid build quality, beautiful design, and intuitive layouts.

In the early 2000s, digital media was changing not only the DJ industry, but the entire consumer world. When the Apple iPod was released, it created a watershed in digital music storage and playback, setting hard drive (and later flash memory) playback as the industry standard. Wasting no time, Numark released the HDCD-1, the first hard drive-based DJ player, in 2003. No more carrying around a bag full of CDs or a laptop.

Today, Numark is the largest DJ equipment manufacturer in the world, with a network of distributors and sales double that of its nearest competitor.
