Description

Enough written about looks and functions, let the Pioneer PLX-1000 show what it can do. Since its functions were kept very classic, it can’t do a lot, but hopefully very well. Functions & Adjustment The Pioneer PLX-1000 Analog DJ Turntable is the result of many years of experience and consumer investigation to achieve a truly user-friendly and innovative analog DJ turntable that excels in all live environments. Extensive tempo control

In conclusion, the Pioneer PLX-1000 undoubtedly lives up to its reputation as a top-tier turntable for vinyl enthusiasts and professional DJs alike. Its robust construction, precision engineering, and user-friendly features make it a formidable contender in the market. The attention to detail in its design ensures an optimal listening experience with minimal distortion and vibrations.That said, both models are made of metal, each has a die-cast chassis and they’re are built like tanks. DJ turntables don’t get any more solid than these two. 2. Price It is hardly surprising that you feel at home with the handling, as the revised version of your own record player would be in front of you. The start-stop button is fun, as has already been said, everything else works just as well. I got the PLX for deep focused listening to my records just below medium levels. Wow & Flutter on the PLX-1000 is like ten times lower than some brands in this same price range and I can hear the difference. Wow & Flutter should not be such a distraction that you have to try to ignore it just to get to the music consciously or subconsciously.

The body is heavy and provides a secure base for the platter and tonearm, so the PLX-1000 is not easily ruffled. The components make a decent impression at every point, no component looks like a cost saver. The (already often mentioned) start-stop button and the really smoothly running pitch fader would certainly be positive. Pioneer PLX-1000 Video ReviewThe start/stop button is well known from the Pioneer CDJ range and is also surrounded by an LED ring, not green or orange but blue in this case, but only when the platter is spinning. When looking at the tonearm in particular, it becomes apparent that the Technics 1210 was a massive inspiration. The tonearm, and even more so the base, is similar to the model in many respects, right down to the last detail. Be it the tonearm bearing, tonearm holder and guide on the tonearm lift, the wheel for anti-skating adjustment, the counterweight, or the base itself. There are direct parallels to the 1210 MK2 in many small details so a precise description seems unnecessary here. If you want to say something, you can say: The tonearm looks like a Technics 1210, it feels (almost) like a Technics 1210 tonearm and it works perfectly like a Technics 1210 tonearm.

It doesn’t reach the stoic calm of a Technics 1210 MK2, but it really comes very close. Not only because of the heavier case but also because of the height-adjustable and spring-loaded (rather rubberized) feet. These can be screwed out quite a bit further than with the 1210, the height adjustment allows a whole 1.2 cm here. This does not necessarily increase the suspension but allows the device to be well-balanced. Of course, this height is minimally restricted by the fact that you don’t leave your feet on point zero, of course, but create little space here to increase the possible suspension travel. Even at point zero, however, there is space and a few millimeters of travel before you mechanically reach the end of the suspension flagpole.

th July 2014: Pioneer is marking 20 years in the DJ industry with the launch of a modern classic: the PLX-1000 professional turntable. The PLX-1000 is precision engineered for the booth, drawing on 50 years’ experience of making high-end turntables. The result is a familiar layout with some next generation improvements, including a high-torque direct drive system, multi-pitch control, club-grade build and sound quality, and detachable power and audio cables. Incidentally, a cover for the record player is also included, which you can simply place on the device. Rubberized corners provide the necessary grip and protect the device from scratches. In this case, one can say that fortunately the Technics was not copied 1:1, because a hinged lid is certainly an advantage for the hi-fi friend at home who wants to protect his device from dust and only lifts the lid to change the record, but such a half-open lid has little place in a DJ setup. Pioneer boasts that the Start/Stop buttons are dead silent and we can confirm that to be true and results in a smoother performance. The tempo control is very responsive without any hitches or dead spots. Get an overview of the high-torque turntable and its features including high-quality sound, the powerful direct drive system for mixing and scratching, and the detachable power cord and audio cables. How to set up the PLX-1000 Although the price point may be higher than some entry-level options, the Pioneer PLX-1000 justifies its cost with its exceptional performance and build quality. It is an investment worth considering for those who seek the highest level of fidelity and durability.

The pitch range has already been mentioned and where there are three displays, there are probably three selection options: ±8%, 16% and ±50% are available to the user, switchable via a naturally illuminated “Tempo Range” button. Now the Technics 1210 MK2 has already been mentioned and it shouldn’t surprise anyone. Although it is annoying to have to refer to a DJ turntable every time you test it, it is also necessary. Technically already overtaken by many devices in terms of functionality, no device has managed to even begin to shake the throne of the eternal club standard, the Technics 1210 MK2. So every ambitious DJ turntable has simply had to be measured against the permanent number 1, and probably for the time being. The crucial question of every record player now begins at this point. Many different manufacturers, above all the Hanpin OEM series for Stanton, Reloop, Audio-Technica and others, have presented really good turntables, equipped with different functions from internal phono preamps to MIDI functionality, but all devices have failed so far on the question of whether you could put them in the club with a clear conscience.I mean I feel like I'm dang near playing my records with an analog precision musical instrument tool.
