Pioneer DJ PLX-1000 – Professional Direct Drive Turntable for DJs

The Pioneer DJ PLX-1000 is a professional-grade, direct-drive turntable designed for DJs who demand precision, power, and rock-solid performance. Whether you’re spinning in the club, scratching on stage, or mixing in the studio, the PLX-1000 delivers top-tier audio and feel — with the iconic layout that vinyl DJs know and trust.

At Audio Shop Australia, we recommend the PLX-1000 for pro DJs, turntablists, and audiophiles seeking unbeatable torque, classic design, and elite sound quality.

Club-Standard Layout and Feel

The PLX-1000 is instantly familiar, with a classic turntable layout that mirrors the most respected decks in DJ history. Large Start/Stop button, S-shaped tonearm, and precise pitch control give DJs intuitive control and fast responsiveness — whether you’re blending house tracks or executing precise scratch routines.

High-Torque Direct Drive Motor

Under the hood, the PLX-1000 boasts a powerful high-torque motor (4.5 kg/cm or more) that achieves stable rotation within 0.3 seconds. That means ultra-fast start-up, perfect for beatmatching and live performance. The platter’s stability ensures that every move you make on the vinyl is transmitted clearly and accurately.

Superior Sound Isolation

With its heavy-mass zinc die-cast chassis, thick resin base, and vibration-dampening material, the PLX-1000 reduces unwanted resonance and feedback — delivering clean, powerful analog audio. It’s built to handle loud environments like clubs and festivals without skipping or distortion.

Removable Cables for Pro Connectivity

Unlike traditional turntables, the PLX-1000 features removable power and RCA audio cables, making setup and breakdown fast and reliable. High-quality gold-plated terminals ensure professional sound transmission to your mixer or audio interface.

Designed for Professional DJs

From the ±8%, ±16%, and ±50% pitch range to the rugged tonearm and dampened lift, the PLX-1000 gives you the tools to mix, cut, and create with confidence. Whether you’re playing a throwback vinyl-only set or integrating with DVS systems, the PLX-1000 is a performance workhorse.
