PIONEER DJ PROFESSIONAL TURNTABLE
Precision direct drive built for booth use
The Pioneer PLX-1000 is a professional direct-drive turntable for DJs who want familiar hands-on platter control, steady rotation and club-ready construction. Its high-torque drive, three selectable tempo ranges and detachable RCA and power cables suit home practice, performance and booth setups.
Cartridge and stylus, mixer or phono preamp, speakers and records may be separate. Connect to a phono input or use a phono preamp; check the listing for the exact regional box contents.
Add cue headphones for your mixer
A turntable needs a phono input or external phono preamp. Cue headphones connect to a DJ mixer, not directly to the PLX-1000; add only what your setup still needs.
