Product Description
Pioneer PLX-1000 Professional Direct-Drive Turntable
The Pioneer PLX-1000 is a DJ-grade, high-torque direct-drive turntable built for professionals who demand precision, durability, and authentic vinyl performance. Designed with the classic look and familiar layout trusted by top DJs worldwide, the PLX-1000 delivers rock-solid playback, powerful torque, and exceptional sound quality for both traditional vinyl DJs and modern DVS users.
At the heart of the PLX-1000 is a high-torque quartz-locked direct-drive motor capable of reaching full rotation speed in just 0.3 seconds with a starting torque of 4.5 kg-cm or more. Whether you’re beat juggling, scratching, or beat matching, the response is immediate and consistent, even under demanding performance conditions.
Classic Layout with Modern Control
The PLX-1000 features a classic, user-friendly control layout that feels instantly familiar. The tempo slider is positioned on the right side, the start/stop button sits on the left, and the platter includes a lighted speed guide with a pop-up LED target light for precise visual reference. DJs can choose pitch adjustment ranges of ±8%, ±16%, or ±50%, with a dedicated Reset button for instant return to zero pitch.
Superior Sound and Vibration Control
To ensure stable playback and pristine audio quality, Pioneer engineered the PLX-1000 with a heavy-mass zinc die-cast chassis, reinforced by an 8mm-thick resin base and 9mm vibration-damping material. This multi-layer construction minimizes unwanted resonance and feedback in loud club environments.
The S-shaped tonearm features a gimbal-supported bearing structure with rubber insulation to reduce howling and external vibration. Gold-plated, machine-cut RCA terminals provide low impedance output and excellent signal clarity, ensuring your vinyl sounds full, detailed, and punchy.
Built for Professional Use
Designed to withstand life on the road and in the booth, the PLX-1000 includes detachable power and audio cables for easier transport, faster setup, and reduced long-term wear. Its rugged construction, precision engineering, and compatibility with Digital Vinyl Systems make it a reliable centerpiece for any professional DJ setup.
