Overview

A direct-drive turntable with warm, analog vinyl sound.

The Pioneer DJ PLX-500 direct-drive professional turntable with Ortofon Concorde DJ cartridge blends classic vinyl performance with modern features for DJs and audiophiles alike. Inheriting the layout of the flagship PLX-1000, this turntable is designed for warm, clear analog sound while offering digital recording capabilities via its USB output. With high-torque performance for scratching and mixing, it includes everything you need—cartridge, stylus, slipmat and dust cover. Paired with the Concorde DJ cartridge, this setup ensures excellent tracking and durability. Whether you're spinning vinyl or digitizing your collection, the PLX-500 delivers reliability, premium sound, and precision for any creative environment.

High-Torque Motor for Scratch and Mix Precision

The PLX-500 turntable features a robust direct-drive motor with high torque, ensuring consistent speed and stability for performance-grade mixing and scratching. Whether executing intricate backspins or precise pitch adjustments, the motor's reliability keeps your vinyl playback smooth and controlled. Combined with a slipmat for added maneuverability, this turntable offers DJs the tactile responsiveness needed for creative, dynamic sets.

USB Output for Digital Recording

A built-in USB output allows you to digitize your vinyl collection with ease. Connect the turntable to your PC or Mac and use Pioneer's free rekordbox software to create high-quality WAV files directly from your records. The software's audio analysis feature detects track silences, automatically splitting recordings into individual files for streamlined album digitization. Once converted, enjoy your vinyl tracks on mobile devices or integrate them into digital DJ setups.

Concorde DJ Cartridge for Superior Tracking

The Concorde DJ cartridge is optimized for professional DJs, offering excellent groove handling and low record wear. Its spherical stylus tip ensures consistent tracking, even during high-energy scratching or backcueing. With 6mV output and a 20Hz–20kHz frequency response, this cartridge delivers uncompromising sound quality with enhanced low-end clarity. The redesigned grip and larger cutout improve visibility and handling, ensuring precise needle placement under demanding performance conditions.

Durable Construction With Practical Design Features

The PLX-500 includes a sleek dust cover that integrates a record sleeve stand, letting you display album artwork during playback. The turntable's streamlined design inherits the professional aesthetic of the PLX-1000 while maintaining durability for regular use. Its sturdy build minimizes distortion through efficient audio routing, delivering warm, authentic analog sound that connects directly to powered speakers or a sound system.
