Pioneer PLX-1000 Professional Direct Drive Turntable

Engineered for professionals, the PLX-1000 is a direct drive turntable with a high-torque platter and low vibration motor that delivers precise playback and club-grade build quality. The DJ setup has multi-pitch control, anti-skate control, and reverse mode and comes with detachable power and audio cables. The sleek design cradle lifts the turntable easily to make quick changes between vinyl records and digital files.

TURN THE TABLES

The high-torque direct drive ensures stable rotation and exceptional control – and it reaches 33⅓ rpm in just 0.3 seconds thanks to a starting torque of 4.5kg/cm (or more).

EXCELLENT SOUND DESIGN

The PLX-1000’s heavy-mass, die-cast zinc chassis prevents resonance and vibrations. The lower part of the unit is reinforced with 8mm-thick resin, plus 9mm-thick, vibration-damping material at the base. Plus the rubber-insulated tone arm reduces howling effects, while the rubber and springs on the dampening parts of the insulator absorb external vibrations.

PICK UP THE PACE

Multi-tempo control lets you instantly pick up or slow down the track to ±8%, ±16% and ±50%, while a simple reset button instantly reverts to ±0%.

FLEXIBLE CONNECTIVITY

Interchangeable power and audio cables can be easily connected and replaced, and pro-grade gold-plated RCA jacks ensure low impedance and amazing sound quality.
