The Pioneer PLX-1000 - Professional Turntable
is designed for personal listening and live performance applications
such as DJing at a party or in a club. The table utilizes a high-torque
direct drive motor and a classic layout that DJs are familiar with,
including tempo control, a start/stop button, and a lighted speed guide.
The high-torque motor is capable of at least 4.5 kg/cm of torque and
can reach a rotational speed of 33 1/3 rpm in 0.3 seconds.
The turntable is built with a heavy-mass zinc die-cast chassis with a
reinforced bottom made of 8mm thick resin. The unit's base is reinforced
with a 9mm thick vibration dampening material for stable playback. The
tonearm uses rubber insulation to minimize howling effects, and the RCA
jacks are gold-plated for lower impedance signals and improved sound
quality. For convenience and durability the turntable features
detachable power and RCA audio cables to prevent turntable failure as a
result of cable failure. An integrated Kensington lock allows you to
secure the turntable to the DJ booth.
The turntable allows for tempo adjustments of ±8%, ±16%, and ±50%, with a
reset button for instant ±0% fixed rotation speed. It comes with a
turntable sheet, a slip mat, a dust cover, a head shell, a balance
weight, a sub weight, a shell weight, an adapter for EP records, a power
cord, a stereo RCA audio cable, and a ground wire.
