The single table top cd players from Stanton, the C.303 and C.304, got a small upgrade. They can now also play MP3, just as all competing models from other brands. They are designated C.313 and C.314. The effects on the C.314 can be controlled with the platter like on the Pioneer CDJ-200. A new feature is also the loop/sample edit or adjust.
The upgrade that I was hoping for: super fast search or quick jump, to move forward or back 1 minute within a second is not implemented. This still makes the C.314 too slow to really use the bank buttons to its full potential.
De enkele table top cd players, de C.303 en de C.304, ondergingen een minimale upgrade. Ze kunnen nu ook MP3 afspelen, net als de modellen van andere merken. Ze kregen de model nummers C.313 en C.314. De effecten van de C.314 kunnen vermoedelijk zoals de Pioneer CDJ-200 worden bediend. Een nieuwe feature is de sample/loop edit.
De upgrade waarop ik had gehoopt is niet gekomen: 'super fast search' of 'quick jump,' om 1 minuut vooruit of achteruit te gaan binnen 1 seconde. Dit maakt de C.314 te traag om de 'bank' knoppen te benutten zoals eigenlijk mogelijk zou kunnen zijn.
