- No Local Warranty or Service – If it breaks down then you’re on your own. Electronics repairs are expensive, usually charged at around $100 per hour plus costly replacement parts if available.
- Customs Duty – Usually charged at 5% of the invoice price.
- Import Declaration Costs – Make your own import declaration and you could be up for a $48.85 fee. Otherwise you will need to pay a customs broker a clearance fee.
- GST Payable – GST of 10% is payable on top of the purchase price, duty, freight and any other import costs.
- No CE or C Tick? – These compulsory product compliance markings ensure that consumer safety, health and environmental requirements are met. Does your supplier offer these?
- You are the Importer – As such it is your liability should anything untoward happen with the product. If someone gets zapped then YOU are liable.
- Purchase of Local Power Adaptor – You need 240V power so you’ll need to purchase a local power adaptor. If available these can be very expensive.

DMC USA 2010 Champion teams up with American Audio’s VMS4.
Friday, March 25th, 2011
American Audio is proud to announce that 3 times USA DMC champion, DJ Etronik is now an ambassador for the VMS4 digital work station. The first DJ to have represented the United States at the DMC World Finals in all three categories, Los Angeles-based Etronik won the 2010 USA competition and went on to compete for the third time at the world finals, only narrowly missing out on the top spot in the World DJ Championship category. Along with Etronik’s spectacular re-mixing and beat-juggling performances on the VMS4, he also has his debut album ready for release entitled ‘Terror Bull’. The VMS4 has 4 selectable dual-purpose MIDI or analogue channels, so it can be used either with a computer and USB for digital DJ-ing or as a regular mixer without a computer. The Virtual DJ LE software that comes with the unit makes it easy for even total novices to get started in the digital DJ-ing world. And if you prefer to use other DJ software programs, the versatile VMS4 platform can accommodate those too, via free driver downloads on this American Audio’s VMS4 website. Go to lightsounds.com.au for your nearest outlet.
