PIONEER PLX-1000

Pre owned. In good condition. Shows signs of wear on the dust cover. Supplied with original packaging and manual.

Professional direct-drive analogue turntable designed for DJ use, suitable for installation in nightclubs and venues as well as for home listening. Its design draws on the layout of traditional professional turntables, incorporating technical solutions intended to ensure accurate operation, robust construction and ease of use.

The high-torque direct-drive system allows the platter to reach 33⅓ rpm in approximately 0.3 seconds, thanks to a starting torque of at least 4.5 kg/cm. This provides rapid start-up and an immediate response, important features for mixing and professional applications.

The structure is designed to minimise resonance and vibration. The heavy die-cast zinc chassis is combined with an 8 mm-thick resin reinforcement on the underside and a 9 mm-thick vibration-damping layer at the base. The tonearm also features a rubber isolation system, while the elastic elements and springs in the insulators help absorb vibrations transmitted from the surrounding environment and the supporting surface.

The pitch control offers three adjustment ranges: ±8%, ±16% and ±50%. A dedicated reset button also allows the user to immediately return to the nominal rotation speed, cancelling any pitch adjustment.

In terms of connectivity, the PLX-1000 features detachable and interchangeable audio and power cables, simplifying installation and replacement. The gold-plated RCA connectors are designed to provide a low-impedance connection and signal transmission suited to professional use.
