Pioneer DJ PLX-500 BLACK PRO DJ Hi Torq S-Tonearm Direct Drive Turntable DJ Deck

The Pioneer DJ PLX-500-K is a direct drive turntable that brings professional-style layout and performance into a home or entry-level DJ set-up. Inheriting its design from the flagship PLX-1000, it delivers warm, clear analogue sound, simple USB recording and a rock-solid platform for mixing, scratching or simply enjoying your record collection.

Whether you are taking your first steps into vinyl DJing or want a reliable deck to play your favourite albums, the PLX-500-K keeps things straightforward. A built-in phono preamp and switchable phono/line outputs make it easy to plug into a wide range of systems, while the included headshell, cartridge and stylus mean you can get up and running straight out of the box.

With its high-torque direct drive motor and familiar S-shaped tonearm, the PLX-500-K feels instantly comfortable if you are used to club-standard decks. It is equally at home in the studio, living room or practice space, offering smooth control for beatmatching and scratching, plus convenient USB connectivity for archiving your vinyl to digital files.

Thoughtful touches like the dust cover with built-in sleeve stand let you display your artwork while you listen, making the PLX-500-K as enjoyable to live with as it is to perform on.

Warm, Clear Analogue Sound

The PLX-500-K is engineered to deliver high-quality vinyl playback, with short, optimised audio routing from the stylus to the outputs to minimise signal loss and distortion. The result is a warm, detailed analogue sound that does justice to your records, whether you are DJing or just listening.

Built-In Phono/Line Output Flexibility

A switchable phono/line output lets you connect the PLX-500-K directly to a wide range of speakers and sound systems. Use the phono output with a traditional DJ mixer, or flip to line level to plug straight into powered speakers or line inputs without needing a separate phono preamp.

USB Output For Easy Digital Recording

The integrated USB port makes it simple to record your vinyl collection to high-quality digital files. Just connect the PLX-500-K to your PC or Mac via USB and capture your records for use in DJ software, portable players or as a backup to your physical collection.

Ready To DJ Out Of The Box

The PLX-500-K comes supplied with key accessories so you can start playing straight away, including a dust cover with jacket stand, slipmat and a silver edition PC-HS01-S headshell with cartridge and stylus. Combined with its high-torque direct drive motor and S-shaped tonearm, you have everything you need to begin mixing and scratching.

• High-Torque Direct Drive Motor - The direct drive system provides fast start-up and stable rotation, giving you the precise control you need for accurate beatmatching and confident scratching without the lag associated with belt-drive decks.
• Integrated Phono/Line Preamp - With a built-in phono preamp and switchable phono/line outputs, the PLX-500-K connects easily to mixers, audio interfaces or powered speakers, reducing the amount of extra gear you need to get set up.
• USB Connectivity For Archiving Vinyl - The USB output allows you to connect directly to a computer and record your records as digital files, making it straightforward to preserve rare releases, create digital DJ libraries or enjoy your vinyl on the go.
• Dust Cover With Sleeve Stand - The supplied dust cover features an integrated stand that lets you display your record sleeve while it plays, keeping your deck protected between sessions and adding a visual focal point to your listening space.
