■ Pioneer DJ / PLX-CRSS12

Pioneer DJ introduces a new digital-analog hybrid turntable, "PLX-CRSS12", the latest model in the PLX series!

It is the world's first turntable to use digital files to support analog record playback and tone arm-free DVS performance. It enables DVS to play without using a record needle and play with records as before. It also has four PERFORMANCE PADs in front of the turntable for quick recall of HOT CUE, SAMPLER, and other functions. The turntable's top features an OLED display that shows the tempo range and KEY during STEP PITCH. Connecting to a PC/Mac running DJ software via USB can also display the BPM, KEY, and deck number. It also has improved playback capabilities as a record player, reproducing the sound quality of analog records with high fidelity and sound quality.

The estimated retail price is JPY 198,000 (including tax), and the product is scheduled for sale on September 7 (Thursday). Pre-orders are now being taken in advance of the release.
