Product Description
Pioneer PLX-500-K Direct-Drive Turntable (Black)
The Pioneer PLX-500-K is a high-quality direct-drive turntable designed for vinyl enthusiasts and aspiring DJs who want professional performance for home listening, live events, and club environments. Featuring a high-torque motor, classic DJ-style layout, and built-in USB recording, the PLX-500 delivers reliable playback, smooth mixing, and modern connectivity in a sleek black finish.
With a starting torque of 1.6 kg/cm and a fast start time of one second or less, the PLX-500 provides precise speed control and stable rotation at 33-1/3 and 45 RPM. The familiar DJ layout includes a start/stop button, tempo control slider, and illuminated speed guide, making it easy to transition between tracks and perform basic scratching or beatmatching.
Professional Sound Design
The PLX-500 is engineered to reproduce clean, accurate vinyl sound. Its shortened internal audio path reduces distortion and signal loss, ensuring high-quality output from the stylus to the speakers. A built-in phono/line switch allows direct connection to DJ mixers, powered speakers, or sound systems without the need for an external preamp, offering maximum flexibility for any setup.
Easy Digital Recording via USB
Digitize your vinyl collection effortlessly by connecting the PLX-500 directly to your Mac or PC via USB. This feature allows you to create high-quality digital recordings of your records for archiving, streaming, or playback on digital devices.
Smooth DJ Performance and DVS Compatibility
Designed for more than just listening, the PLX-500 supports mixing and scratching and can be paired with rekordbox dvs, a compatible DJ mixer, and RB-VS1-K Control Vinyl for low-latency digital vinyl performance. The S-shaped tonearm with gimbal-supported bearing structure and static balance delivers smooth tracking and reliable playback during DJ use.
Complete Starter Package
The PLX-500-K ships with everything you need to start playing right out of the box, including a headshell with cartridge and stylus, slipmat, dust cover with integrated sleeve display stand, and all required cables and accessories.
