What was a 1991 portable CD player?
By 1991 portable CD players were slimmer, and many had a line-out jack that let you feed a hi-fi or a car stereo. Nobody ripped CDs yet; people bought discs and carried a small wallet of them.
What do you see and touch on the DJ50?
The disc looks machined: brushed aluminum with concentric fine lines and a soft anisotropic sheen that stays still while the disc turns. Below it lies a black chassis. A green board at the upper right carries a gold-plated socket with a plug in it. A strip of buttons and a headphone symbol sit along the bottom edge.
Rest a finger on the disc and drag to scratch, and the carriage tracks as the song plays.
- Brushed aluminum disc with concentric lines
- Static sheen, the light does not rotate
- Gold jack and plug
- Headphone icon on the lower strip
Which sound settings suit the DJ50?
Keep the character light. Saturation low, wobble zero, hiss off. The equalizer Bass preset gives electronic and dance tracks weight, and Air adds a polish. The warp and tunnel backgrounds make a good moving frame for a machine with this much shine.
Is the 1991 CD Player free or PRO?
The DJ50 is the metal-look pick for CD fans. It belongs to REWIND PRO: weekly $2.99, yearly $19.99 with a 3-day free trial, or lifetime $24.99 once. Without PRO you still get 8 machines, plus analog sound and the equalizer on all of them.
Frequently asked questions
Is the DJ50 free?
No. It needs REWIND PRO.
Why do the reflections stay still?
On the CD machines the highlights are fixed, as light would be, while the disc turns beneath them.
Does the gold socket do anything?
It is part of the drawing. Your headphones connect to the iPhone as usual.
