Spin, Digitize, and DJ with the Same Deck
Get used to a great deck, and you’ll want to use it everywhere. And with the Pioneer DJ PLX-500 turntable, you can. Whether you’re an analog enthusiast or a performer at heart, the PLX-500 has features to take you from the living room to the booth. The keynote of this unit is its quality analog playback. This is thanks to a smooth and dependable direct-drive motor, short-excursion tone arm with headshell, cartridge, and stylus, and neutral onboard preamp. On top of that, a die-cast aluminum platter and switchable Phono (mixer)/Line (speaker) output make the PLX-500 a winner for DJing. Performers will love parading their record sleeves on the dust cover’s stand. And music lovers will enjoy digitizing their collection via USB while they jam.
