Audio System
EZ2DJ cabinet features a total of 10 speakers. There are four mid-range speakers stacked vertically on either side of the screen, and two subwoofers located on the front of the machine. The cabinet also features a pair of headphone jacks, so that both players may use their own headphones to enjoy the game's audio. Using headphones does not disable the external speakers.
Effector Buttons
EZ2DJ cabinet features four red effector buttons, located at the top of the controller part. However, unlike the Beatmania series (including III and IIDX), depending on the gamemode, effector button are treated as a gameplay button, especially in the gamemode "Radio Mix", where each player need to control 2 effector buttons. Essentially this is very similar to the 7 key mode of beatmania IIDX, but due to the location of these effector button—located in a row right at center of the console panel, right underneath the screen and away from the keyboard—it makes it even more difficult than beatmania IIDX in some occasions (especially since it also uses the pedal). Another gamemode named "Space Mix" uses all four buttons along with all keys and turn tables (excludes pedals), becoming the hardest gamemode in the game.
