A Pro Design at the Heart of the Pioneer DJ Range
The PLX-500 draws from the DNA of the professional PLX-1000 turntable to offer an authentic and reliable vinyl experience. It stands as a versatile model for DJs and discerning music lovers, combining a professional look, robustness, and modern features, including USB digitization and Line output.
Who Is It For and What Are Its Uses?
Ideal for beginner to advanced DJs, the PLX-500 excels in clubs, mobile DJ setups, home studios, and at home. Its high-torque direct drive is suitable for scratching and technical sets, while the USB facilitates archiving your collection. Paired with a compatible DJM mixer and the "RBVS1-K" Control Vinyl, it works with the "rekordbox dvs" Plus Pack to play and manipulate your digital files.
Features and Innovations
Thanks to the built-in phono preamp, you can choose between Phono or Line RCA outputs for immediate integration into any system. The USB (Type B) connection allows easy recording of your vinyl to WAV files via the free "rekordbox" application, which automatically detects silences to create individual tracks. The direct drive motor ensures quick start-up and stable tracking, while the universal S-shaped tonearm guarantees reliable playback. The dust cover includes a holder to display the sleeve of the record currently playing, connecting eye to ear. Your library imported into "rekordbox" can then be played with a "rekordbox dvs" setup, a DDJ controller, or CDJ players via USB.
