Pioneer DJ PLX-CRSS12 Professional Digital/Analog Turntable with Ortofon Concorde DJ Cartridge

The Pioneer DJ PLX-CRSS12 professional digital/analog turntable with Ortofon Concorde DJ cartridge is a groundbreaking hybrid deck offering unmatched control and sound quality. This system is the world's first to combine digital vinyl system (DVS) control with analog playback, allowing DJs to seamlessly switch between scratching digital tracks and spinning traditional vinyl records. With tone-arm-free DVS playback, DJs can scratch aggressively without worrying about needle skipping, while the analog mode provides classic vinyl functionality. The included Ortofon Concorde DJ cartridge delivers precise tracking and low record wear, ensuring pristine sound reproduction. Enhanced by Pioneer DJ's innovations and Ortofon's legendary cartridge design, the PLX-CRSS12 redefines creative control and playback reliability for DJs.

Tone-Arm-Free DVS Playback

This model's tone-arm-free design eliminates skipping during DVS playback, letting DJs scratch digital tracks with confidence. Using Serato DJ Pro or rekordbox software, the turntable accurately controls digital music while maintaining the tactile feel of vinyl. Whether executing sharp cuts or intricate patterns, DJs can focus fully on their performance without interruptions. For analog playback, the standard S-shaped tone arm ensures smooth tracking of vinyl records, providing both traditional and modern capabilities in one deck.

Customizable Playback Feel With Magvel Clamp

The PLX-CRSS12 includes the Magvel clamp for precise control over playback feel. Adjust the rotation dial to customize the "weight" of the record, tailoring it to your scratching style. Additional settings allow torque adjustments and three stopping speeds, giving DJs the flexibility to fine-tune performance dynamics. These features enhance the tactile experience, ensuring the turntable responds intuitively to every movement.

Enhanced Control With MIDI Performance Pads

Four MIDI-mappable performance pads integrated into the turntable expand creative possibilities. Assign effects, samples, or loops to the pads, enabling dynamic live sets and innovative transitions. The OLED display provides real-time feedback, keeping essential information visible during performances. Together, the pads and display create a performance-focused interface that supports fluid and expressive mixing.

Durable Build With Premium Components

Engineered for reliability, this deck features upgrades from Pioneer DJ's acclaimed PLX-1000 model, ensuring superior analog sound quality and long-term durability. Components like the aluminum die-cast platter and brushless DC motor provide stability and precision during playback. The Ortofon Concorde DJ cartridge complements this design with its robust construction and spherical stylus, delivering professional-grade sound while minimizing record wear.
