Pioneer Turntable PLX-1000 Turntable Video Demo

Pioneer officially unveiled it’s first contribution to the professional turntable / DJ industry with its latest product, the PLX-1000.  After the grand buzz of its debut at Musikmesse a few months ago, audiophiles and gear nerds have scrutinized every aspect of its prototype (or at least whatever videos and photos we could dig up from the Innanets), comparing it to the iconic Technics 1200 series.

As the introductory demo video below, featuring scratch masters DJ Qbert and DJ Shortkut, reveals, the PLX-1000 is aesthetically similar to the Technics 1200, save for Pioneer’s signature round start/stop button and black with blue lights colorway. However, the turntable bears some modern DJ-minded upgraded such as a high-torque direct drive system, a multi-pitch control that goes up to +/- 50%, and detachable power and audio cables (read, no more expensive RCA replacement jobs).

Pioneer also claims that the PLX-1000 has a club-grade build and sound quality, and while there’s no reason to doubt the quality of any Pioneer product, we’ll be interested to see if these babies can withstand the hard, nightly beating of club usage.

Watch the video demo below and pre-order the new Pioneer turntable at your local retailer or Turntable Lab.
