I just got a s2k black/black (i wanted a blue one) a week ago, and reading the manual it says that the controls at the left of the panel will only work with the factory audio sytem. That means that they will not work with ANY other audio system ??

Thanks in advance

 

Yes and no. You need to buy a head unit that has an infrared remote control. You also need to buy a PAC SWI-X from Lucid (site sponsor). All the details are on his site.

 

What you need is an IR repeater, such as the SWI-X from Pacific Audio Company (commonly referred to on this board as the PAC unit). See my webpage and you'll understand more. MOST aftermarket heads with an IR rmeote will allow you to use the PAC, but some of the newer heads out there are using a higher carrier frequency (450 kHz) which the PAC does not support (it supports the 40-50 kHz range).

 

Or you could go with DJ Qubes new setup.
