Pioneer PLX-1000 DJ Turntable (Pioneer DJ PLX1000)



Direct Drive Analog Turntable with Excellent Sound Quality

Building on expertise accumulated over many years as the top international manufacturer of DJ equipment, Pioneer has carried out an in-depth investigation into turntable users’ needs in order to produce a user-friendly control layout. This makes it possible to enjoy intuitive DJ play without ever losing your way.

Thanks to its high-torque direct drive system, the Pioneer PLX-1000 DJ Turntable provides stable rotation that can withstand use in venues such as clubs, achieving starting torque of at least 4.5kg·cm and reaching the fixed rotation speed within just 0.3 seconds (at 33 1/3 rpm).

Excellent sound quality design gets the most from the sound quality of analog vinyl

The variable width of tempo can be selected from ±8%, ±16% and ±50%, and these wide-ranging tempo controls expand the possibilities of DJ play. Also, simply pressing the “RESET” button instantly reverts to the fixed rotation speed at ±0%.

Since the Pioneer PLX-1000 DJ Turntable uses attachable / detachable power and audio cables, there are no cables getting in the way when transporting the turntable, nor is there any risk of impact when moving or disconnection due to cables getting caught. Users can also interchange the cables as they please in order to customize the sound quality.

? The body of the player is structured so that cables do not protrude beyond its outer dimensions, taking into account the front-to-back positioning when placing the back of the turntable, with its connection terminals, next to a mixer.
? By using rubber and springs on the dampening parts of the insulator, noise from external vibrations is absorbed and isolated, and stable installation is made possible.
? DJ play has been made smoother by minimizing the operational sound of the START / STOP button.
? A rough surface is applied to the underside of the turntable on the left and right sides in order to ensure stability when carrying.
