Go Vinyl: The Pioneer DJ PLX-500
The Pioneer DJ PLX-500 inherits the layout of the PLX-1000 professional turntable and produces a warm, clear analogue sound. The perfect deck if you want to start playing with vinyl or if you just want to listen to your record collection at home. Solidly built with excellent vibration damping and precise audio playback, this high-torque deck has a USB out so you can make high-quality digital recordings of your vinyl collection in our free rekordbox software.
Just like the PLX-1000, the PLX-500 is built to produce a high-quality vinyl sound. The shortest possible audio routing from the stylus to the outputs reduces distortion, while the phono/line output switch lets you connect directly to your sound system or to powered speakers with no need for an external amplifier.
You can also combine the PLX-500 with the rekordbox dvs Plus Pack, a compatible mixer and the RB-VS1-K Control Vinyl to play and scratch with digital files.
