Tone arm-free DVS control eliminates skipping in digital playback. No matter how hard you scratch, you’ll never experience needle skipping when you use the PLX-CRSS12 in Digital Vinyl mode, thanks to the tone-arm free system.

The new MAGVEL CLAMP holds a record firmly in place when you touch the record, enabling it to reflect your hand movement and directly control the digital music file. This gives you the true feeling of vinyl with no need to use the tone arm. When playing analog records, the experience will be just like using the popular Pioneer DJ PLX-1000 deck.

Rotation torque adjustment to suit your style. Find your perfect ‘weight’ setting by turning the dial on top of the MAGVEL CLAMP. The amount of torque will be increased or decreased to make the record feel lighter or heavier without changing or adjusting slip mats or slip sheets. You can also adjust the turntable’s torque level in the utility settings, and there are 3 deck stopping speeds to choose from via a switch on the front of the unit.

Performance Pads and OLED display for accurate and rapid control. The PLX-CRSS12 inherits classic turntable layout elements. But a new addition is the 4 built-in MIDI mappable Performance Pads which put your favourite features at your fingertips. They’re right where you need them – just below the turntable– so you can fire off Hot Cues and samples quicker than ever, which comes in handy even more if you’re performing on a mixer that has no pads.

There’s native support for various pad modes (see below), and a dedicated button enables you to switch control from pads 1-4 to 5-8. The pads are MIDI mappable too, so you can assign them to other features.

The built-in OLED display also helps you focus on the deck. You can keep an eye on the tempo range and key when Step Pitching with Analog or Digital Vinyl mode, and when you’re using Digital Vinyl mode, you can reference BPM, key, deck number information, and the name of the software you’re running (Serato DJ Pro or rekordbox).

The display also gives you quick access to the utility settings – all of which reduces the need to break concentration and look at your laptop or mixer during a performance.

Evolved, high-quality sound: Let your audience enjoy your music the way it was intended to be heard. The PLX-CRSS12 has been carefully built to improve on the sound quality of the PLX-1000 professional DJ turntable, which is highly acclaimed for its accurate sound reproduction.

A switching power supply is used to eliminate transformer power supply vibration and flux leakage, and unwanted noise is suppressed, resulting in high-resolution sound quality.

As with the Pioneer DJ PLX-1000, the upper part of the chassis is made of high-mass zinc die cast and the lower part is made of 8 mm thick resin to optimise the chassis structure and vibration-damping materials.

The use of rubber tubes inside the tone arm have further improved vibration control performance over the PLX-1000.

The RCA terminals are also made of machined gold-plated parts like those on the PLX-1000, and the phono signal is directly transmitted through a stable connection with the plug to reproduce the sound of analog records with high-quality audio.
