Pioneer DJ Direct Drive DJ Turntable, 10.80 x 18.60 x 22.30 (PLX-1000)

Product Information

If you want innovative performance features, look elsewhere. But if you want a new turntable which is as close to the Technics 1200 as possible, the PLX-1000 is the one.

That said, both models are made of metal, each has a die-cast chassis and they’re are built like tanks. DJ turntables don’t get any more solid than these two. 2. Price It is hardly surprising that you feel at home with the handling, as the revised version of your own record player would be in front of you. The start-stop button is fun, as has already been said, everything else works just as well.

Moreover, the PLX-1000’s versatile connectivity options cater to a wide range of setups. Whether you’re using it in a professional studio or integrating it into your home hi-fi system, this turntable offers the flexibility to adapt to various environments seamlessly. I mean I feel like I'm dang near playing my records with an analog precision musical instrument tool.

Although the price point may be higher than some entry-level options, the Pioneer PLX-1000 justifies its cost with its exceptional performance and build quality. It is an investment worth considering for those who seek the highest level of fidelity and durability. Both the audio and power cables on Pioneer's PLX-1000 are detachable, which assists greatly when transporting the unit. It helps to reduce the risk of cable damage which in turn could affect the quality of both the sound and performance of the turntable. This also grants the user the flexibility on what they wish to connect to the system to suit their own personal preference. Other features With the PLX-1000 I would dare this experiment and according to my personal impression, it could work well. The PLX-1000 is solidly built, well-decoupled, and of high quality. The pitch range has already been mentioned and where there are three displays, there are probably three selection options: ±8%, 16% and ±50% are available to the user, switchable via a naturally illuminated “Tempo Range” button.The anti-skating, as one of the first adjustments after bearing weight and height of the base, works convincingly well. Unlike the Technics 1210, the PLX-1000 offers adjustments up to twice the power. So the needle can be maneuvered completely over the anti-skating on a blank record side – so it works perfectly. (Admittedly, this test is very simple, but it is very effective and perfectly adequate for a mechanically rigid function such as anti-skating on a DJ turntable.) The direct drive mechanism of the PLX-1000 provides high-torque resulting in stable rotation and exceptional control. The turntable can achieve a starting torque of at least 4.5kg/cm and can reach its fixed rotation speed within 0.3 seconds (at 33 1/3 rpm). Collection and delivery costs are included for the first 2 years in the event of an item becoming faulty The handling of the Pioneer PLX-1000 convinces without a doubt. The turntable not only looks almost exactly like a Technics 1210 MK2, but it also makes almost the same haptic impression. Enough written about looks and functions, let the Pioneer PLX-1000 show what it can do. Since its functions were kept very classic, it can’t do a lot, but hopefully very well. Functions & Adjustment
