Key Features
Product Ref: 381517
The PLX-500 uses a high-torque direct drive system that delivers consistent rotation and quick start-up performance. This makes it well suited to both casual listening and DJ techniques like scratching or beatmatching.
The adjustable tempo slider gives you precise pitch control, while selectable 33, 45, and 78 RPM speeds support a wide range of vinyl formats. Pioneer DJ also includes adjustable anti-skating, tonearm height, and stylus pressure controls, helping you dial in playback performance to suit your cartridge and records.
Whether you’re connecting to powered speakers, a hi-fi amplifier, or a DJ mixer, the PLX-500 keeps setup straightforward. The built-in PHONO/LINE switch means you can connect directly to line-level equipment without needing a separate phono preamp. This flexibility makes it easier to fit the turntable into existing home audio systems or compact desktop listening setups. USB connectivity also allows direct connection to a PC or Mac for recording vinyl digitally using rekordbox.
If you want to archive records or listen away from your turntable setup, the PLX-500 makes digital recording easy. The rear USB output connects directly to your computer without requiring additional driver software.
Combined with rekordbox recording features, you can convert vinyl playback into digital audio files with minimal setup. It’s a practical option for preserving older records, creating digital playlists from vinyl releases, or organising your collection for easier listening on other devices.
The PLX-500 keeps the traditional turntable layout familiar and easy to use, with features that make day-to-day listening more convenient. The integrated stylus illuminator helps you cue records in lower-light environments, while the included dust cover protects the turntable between sessions.
Pioneer also designed the cover to hold record sleeves upright during playback, giving you a simple way to display album artwork while listening. Adjustable insulated feet help reduce unwanted vibration for more stable playback on different surfaces.
