Winner | Young Professionals – RADO Star Prize | 2009
Portable DJ «Pacemaker»
“Pacemaker” is a portable, professionally designed DJ system of the size of an MP3 player. It is the one and only tool of this kind to date to offer users the possibility of mixing and playing music and putting on musical performances practically anywhere and at the drop of a hat. With a 120 GB hard disk, it is capable of storing thousands of songs, with a sound quality equivalent to that of a CD. A sensitive touchplate makes it possible to control the speed and the bass/ treble balance. This makes the “Pacemaker” a top quality replacement for traditional DJ systems.
Comments of the nominators
The “Pacemaker” has an appealing charm combined with an aura of professionalism. Even if the market for consumer electronics is infested with secondrate copies, the independent formal idiom of this device makes it stand out.
Comments of the jury
Thanks to the compact size of this mobile DJ equipment, the idea on which “Pacemaker” is based makes an immediately contemporary and unique impression. The development of this product, with its characteristically clean and clear design, testifies to courage and far-sightedness. The DJ “Pacemaker” follows on logically from the invention of the MP3 player, and is ideally suited to serve a potentially growing niche market.
