PLX-500-W PIONEER DJ - High-torque direct drive turntable

Cartridge included

The PLX-500 inherits its layout from the professional PLX-1000 turntable and produces a warm, clear analogue sound. It's the perfect deck for getting started with vinyl, or simply for listening to your record collection at home.

This high-torque deck is solidly built with excellent vibration damping and plays audio in high resolution. It features a USB output so you can record your record collection digitally using our free rekordbox software. You can also combine the PLX-500 with the rekordbox dvs Plus Pack, a compatible mixer and RB-VS1-K Control Vinyl to play and scratch with digital files.

KEY FEATURES
OUTSTANDING AUDIO DESIGN
Just like the PLX-1000, the PLX-500 is built to deliver high-quality vinyl sound. We've kept the audio routing from the needle to the outputs as short as possible to minimise distortion, and you can connect your turntable directly to your sound system or powered speakers via the phono/line output switch, without the need for an external amplifier.

EASY DIGITAL RECORDING
Convert your vinyl collection to high-quality digital files by simply connecting the turntable to your PC or Mac via the USB output.

SMOOTH DJing
Use the PLX-500 to play and mix your vinyl records, or combine the turntable with rekordbox dvs, a compatible DJ mixer and RB-VS1-K Control Vinyl to play and scratch with digital files.

SHOW OFF YOUR RECORD SLEEVES
While listening, you can display your record sleeve upright in the record sleeve holder on the dust cover.

When the itch strikes, scratch
This turntable comes with all the accessories you need to get started right away: a dust cover with record sleeve holder, a slipmat and a silver edition PC-HS01-S headshell (cartridge and stylus included).

rekordbox dvs
Are you using our professional rekordbox dj software? Then you can purchase the rekordbox dvs Plus Pack for low-latency scratch control over the music in your rekordbox library.
