PIONEER PLX1000 TURNTABLE

collapse expand iconDescription

Pioneer's PLX-1000 professional turntable blends a retro design with groundbreaking new features, offering an unparalleled experience for DJs and producers alike. Boasting a high-torque direct drive system, it reaches its fixed rotation speed of 33-1/3 rpm in just 0.3 seconds and provides stable, precise control for advanced techniques. Its heavy-mass, zinc die-cast chassis prevents resonance while a reinforced base incorporates 9mm of vibration-damping material, resulting in pristine audio quality with virtually no distortion or feedback.

High-Torque Direct Drive System Delivers Power and Control

The PLX-1000's direct drive motor generates 4.5kg/cm of starting torque, giving DJs the power and responsiveness needed for everything from beat juggling to smooth beatmatching. Its rotation stabilizes nearly instantly, allowing for fast starts, stops and scratches executed with pinpoint accuracy.

Anti-Vibration Design Produces Optimal Sound

To optimize sound quality, Pioneer engineered the PLX-1000 to minimize unwanted vibration and resonance. Its zinc die-cast top section sits on an 8mm thick resin base reinforced with 9mm of vibration-damping material. The tone arm also features rubber insulation to reduce howling. Gold-plated RCA outputs ensure a clear signal with minimal interference or signal degradation.

Classic Layout Updated for Modern Use

The PLX-1000 provides a familiar layout for experienced DJs, with quick access to tempo control, start/stop and speed selection. LED indicators and a pop-up target light provide visual guidance in dark environments. Interchangeable power and RCA cables allow for simple setup and breakdown, ideal for performers on the move.

Advanced Pitch Control and Convenient Design

An adjustable pitch fader offers \u00b18 percent, \u00b116 percent and \u00b150 percent ranges, allowing DJs to speed up or slow down tracks with precision. A reset button instantly reverts to the default \u00b10 percent pitch. Detachable power and RCA cables provide flexibility and easy replacement if damaged, ensuring seamless performance even in rigorous conditions.
