Combine the PLX-1000 with a Pioneer professional series DJM mixer for an ideal system for true vinyl enthusiasts.The PLX-1000 provides a user-friendly layout familiar to top DJs of the past and present, providing quick tempo control capability on the right side of the player, start/stop button on the left side, and a high-torque platter with a lighted speed guide.The direct drive mechanism of the PLX-1000 provides high-torque resulting in stable rotation and exceptional control. The turntable can achieve a starting torque of at least 4.5kg/cm and can reach its fixed rotation speed within 0.3 seconds (at 33-1/3 rpm).To ensure a stable player and prevent vibration, Pioneer utilizes a heavy-mass zinc die-cast chassis for the top section of the player, reinforced with a bottom section made of 8-mm thick resin. The base of the unit was further enforced with 9-mm thick vibration-damping material that results in extremely stable playback. The tone arm also received great attention in build quality and design to maximize performance, using rubber insulation to minimize howling effects during audio playback. The RCA jacks feature gold-plated machine-cut parts for low impedance and excellent sound quality output.The player provides a range of tempo adjustments from +/- 8% and +/- 16% to +/-50%, giving users a range of pitch speeds. A “RESET” button for tempo sits next to the tempo slider for instant +/- 0% fixed rotation speed.The PLX-1000 is built with a detachable power and audio cable connection for increased convenience, especially at times when the unit is being moved around. Users are also able to interchange cables to further customize the sound quality.Pioneer PLX-1000 Includes:Turntable sheetSlip matDust coverHead shellBalance weightSub weightShell weightAdapter for EP recordPower cordAudio cableGround wireOperating instructionsPioneer PLX-1000 Features:User-friendly control layoutHigh-torque direct drive systemDesigned for optimal sound qualityTempo control with variable width levelsDetachable power and audio cablesPioneer PLX-1000 Specifications:Power Requirements: AC 110-120V/220-240V, 50Hz/60HzPower Consumption: 9WOutput: RCA x 1Main Unit Weight: 28.88 lbs.Maximum Dimensions (WxHxD): 17.83” x 6.25” x 13.89”Turntable:Drive Method: Quartz lock serve type direct driveWow and Flutter: 0.1% or less WRMS (JIS WTD)Motor: 3-phase brushless DC motorS/N Ratio: 70dB (DIN-B)Braking System: Electronic brakeTurntable: Aluminum die-casting diameter: 13.07”Rotation Speed: 33-1/3rpm, 45rpmStarting Torque: 4.5kg-cm or moreRotation Speed Adjustment Range: +/- 8%, +/- 16%, +/- 50%Start Time: 0.3 seconds (at 33 1/3rpm)Tone Arm:Arm Type: Universal type
