Pioneer DJ PLX-CRSS12 – Hybrid DVS-Compatible Turntable with Tonearm-Free Control

The Pioneer DJ PLX-CRSS12 represents a major leap forward in turntable innovation. As the world’s first turntable to offer tonearm-free DVS control, this hybrid system merges traditional analog vinyl playback with high-performance digital DJing. Whether you’re a scratch artist, club performer, or digital DJ using Serato or rekordbox, the PLX-CRSS12 is engineered to push your creative boundaries.

Exclusively available at Audio Shop Australia, this unit is the ultimate solution for DJs who demand the classic feel of vinyl with the freedom of digital control.

Analog Meets Digital — Without the Needle

The PLX-CRSS12 allows DVS performance without using the tonearm — thanks to its unique Magvel Clamp system. The specially designed control vinyl attaches directly to the spindle and is read digitally, bypassing the tonearm altogether for skip-free digital scratching. No more worn-out needles, no more tonearm jumps — just smooth, uninterrupted performance.

Traditional Vinyl Playback, Too

When you want to spin real records, simply remove the Magvel Clamp and drop the needle. The PLX-CRSS12 offers traditional analog vinyl playback, powered by a high-torque direct-drive motor and a full S-shaped tonearm. This duality gives you the best of both worlds in a single device — with the highest audio fidelity and flexibility.

Performance-Centric Touch Display

Stay in control with the customizable 3.5-inch OLED touchscreen that gives you real-time feedback on BPM, key, deck status, and track position. Switch instantly between digital and analog modes or customize the display to suit your workflow.

MAGVEL Clamp – Reinventing DVS Control

The revolutionary MAGVEL Clamp acts as a digital control interface that replaces the traditional need for tonearm timecode reading. It senses rotation with extreme accuracy and gives you the natural resistance of vinyl, but in a digital context. The result is a game-changing hybrid that maintains the feel of real records while unlocking modern performance power.

Pro Connectivity and Build

With switchable phono/line outputs, USB ports, and compatibility with Serato DJ Pro and rekordbox, the PLX-CRSS12 integrates easily into any setup. Its heavy-duty body, vibration-damping construction, and elegant matte-black finish make it stage-ready and studio-reliable.
