Pioneer DJ PLX-500 Direct-Drive Professional Turntable (x2)

Drawing on Pioneer's heritage of making high-quality decks, the PLX-500 inherits the layout of the PLX-1000 professional turntable and produces warm, clear analog sound. The high-torque deck is ideal for scratching and comes with everything you need including a cartridge, stylus and slipmat, and its USB out means you can easily make high-quality digital recordings of your vinyl collection in Pioneer's free rekordbox software. You can use the PLX-500 and the rekordbox DVS Plus Pack to play and scratch digital files when you combine them with a compatible DJM mixer and the RB-VS1-K Control Vinyl. And you can choose between the black (PLX-500-K) and white (PLX-500-W) versions to match your set-up or the design of your home.High-Quality Analog Vinyl SoundThe PLX-500 series inherits design features from the PLX-1000 professional turntable to produce the high-quality sound you expect from vinyl. The shortest possible audio routing from the stylus to the outputs reduces distortion, and the phono and line outputs mean you can connect directly to your sound system or powered speakers to enjoy warm sound.Easy Digital RecordingA built-in USB output means you can record your vinyl collection to high-quality digital WAV files by simply connecting the PLX-500 to your PC or Mac. Digitizing your tracks is easy using the free rekordbox application and, once they’re in your rekordbox collection, you can play them using the PLX-500 and a rekordbox DVS set-up, or on a DDJ controller, or on CDJs via USB. You can also enjoy them on your mobile devices whenever you want.Using its audio analysis technology, rekordbox detects the silence between tracks and creates a separate file in your collection for each one, so you can just press play and record a whole album from an analogue source to individual tracks without resetting the recording in between songs. After you’ve finished recording you can name and tag all your new tracks.Dust Cover with Record Sleeve StandYou can enjoy the vinyl sound of your records and their artwork at the same time thanks to the dust cover that incorporates a stand for displaying record sleeves when open.

Ortofon Concorde DJ Cartridge Twin Pack

Redesigned from the ground up, the Concorde DJ cartridge features a more robust stylus tip with larger cutout, as well as a replaceable textured grip and handle. The Concorde DJ cartridge is a suitable model for both scratch and backcueing use, providing rigidity and excellent groove handling. The DJ's spherical stylus tip provides superior audio while at the same time having very low record wear. It produces an impressive 6mV output and 20Hz–20kHz frequency response for uncompromising sound quality with excellent low end. Easy connectivity to the tonearm makes setup quick and easy in any performance scenario.The Concorde DJ's larger cutout lets you see precisely where you're putting the needle down, even in low-light conditions where DJs often find themselves working. When you're deep in the mix, cueing up your next track or sample, every second counts. You can't afford to waste time guessing where the needle is going to touch the record. Likewise, you want to see with a quick glance how far way that drop—or the end of the track—is from your needle.Since the launch of the original Concorde cartridges more than 25 years ago, DJs have embraced the convenience, sound quality, and industrial design of the Concorde. With the launch of the Concorde MKII, Ortofon has listened to the demands of vinyl DJs of all types to develop a superior cartridge series with an unprecedented level of durability, groove holding, and sound quality.
