Take control of your digital DJ software with the Pioneer DJ PLX-CRSS12, a professional direct-drive turntable with DVS control that eliminates skipping in digital playback with the customizable MAGVEL CLAMP, which provides tone-arm-free control of rekordbox and Serato DJ Pro. The MAGVEL CLAMP allows you to scratch a real vinyl record as vigorously as you like without fear of missing a beat. Or play traditional vinyl records by switching to Analog mode and using the tone arm as normal.

The PLX-CRSS12 features the same analog components as the PLX-1000 turntable, complete with a high-mass die-cast zinc enclosure and 8mm thick resin that optimizes the chassis structure with vibration damping materials. The battle-style layout leaves plenty of room for scratching and there are four MIDI-mappable Performance Pads too. Artists can also keep an eye on crucial information via the OLED display.

• The PLX-CRSS12’s tone-arm-free DVS control removes needle skipping in Digital Vinyl mode, no matter how hard users scratch
• The new MAGVEL CLAMP holds the record firmly in place, enabling it to directly control the digital music file, giving users the true feeling of vinyl without the tonearm
• When playing analog records, the experience will be just like using the popular PLX-1000

• The MAGVEL CLAMP dial allows users to find the perfect “weight” setting. The amount of torque will be increased or decreased to make the record feel lighter or heavier without changing or adjusting slip mats or slip sheets
• Users can adjust the turntable’s torque level in the utility settings
• There are 3 deck-stopping speeds to choose from via a switch on the front of the unit

• The PLX-CRSS12 combines classic turntable layout elements, with the addition of 4 built-in MIDI-mappable Performance Pads, allowing users to select their preferred features. Located below the platter, the pads conveniently fire off Hot Cues and samples quicker than ever. There’s native support for various pad modes, and a dedicated button enables users to switch control from pads 1-4 to 5-8. Additionally, the MIDI mappable pads allow users to program each to selected features
• Native pad mode support
  • Serato DJ Pro: Hot Cue, Sampler, Stems, Scratch Bank, Roll, Saved Loop
  • rekordbox: Hot Cue, Sampler, Track Separation, Sample Scratch, Pad FX1, Beat Jump
• The built-in OLED display allows performers to easily locate the tempo range and key when Step Pitching with Analog or Digital Vinyl mode. When using Digital Vinyl mode, users can reference BPM, key, deck number information, and the name of the software running.

The PLX-CRSS12 has been carefully built based off the highly acclaimed sound quality of the PLX-1000 professional DJ turntable

• As with the PLX-1000, the upper part of the chassis is made of high-mass die-cast zinc and the lower part is made of 8mm thick resin to optimize the chassis structure and vibration-damping materials.
• The use of rubber tubes inside the tonearm has further improved vibration control performance over the PLX-1000.
• The RCA terminals are made of machined gold-plated parts, and the phono signal is directly transmitted through a stable connection with the plug to reproduce the sound of analog records with high-quality audio.

A switching power supply is used to eliminate transformer power supply vibration and flux leakage while suppressing unwanted noise, creating high-resolution sound quality.

Replaceable MAGVEL CLAMP

• Additional clamps are available to buy if users want to take their own set on the road, or if they need to replace a clamp that’s been lost. Users can store the MAGVEL CLAMP neatly in a dedicated area on top of the deck

Robust and elegant design in matte black color

• The PLX-CRSS12 has a matte black color scheme, with special coatings applied to the tone arm and other metal parts, plus carefully crafted details that give it a robust and elegant appearance

Software Compatibility

• The PLX-CRSS12 is compatible with Serato DJ Pro (coming this autumn) and rekordbox
• By connecting this unit to a PC/Mac with DJ software installed, and to a mixer that supports the DVS function of the respective DJ software, users can start playing in Digital Vinyl mode and use the Performance Pads

Q: 1. What cartridge should be used to play shellac 78 RPM records?

A: For playing shellac 78 RPM records on the Audio-Technica Consumer AT-LP1240-USB XP Professional DJ Direct-Drive Turntable, you can use the Audio-Technica Consumer AT-VM95SP/H Cartridge and Headshell Combo Kit (B&H # AUATVM95SPH) if you need the headshell as well as the cartridge, or the Audio-Technica Consumer AT-VM95SP Dual Moving Magnet Cartridge (B&H # AUATVM95SP) for the cartridge only.

Q: 2. How does this compare to Denon DP-450USB? Trying to decide between the two on B&H site. Thanks

Q: 3. what is the wow&flutter spec? What kind of cart does it use? Thank you.

A: The manufacturer has not provided any specs for wow and flutter. The included cartridge is the Numark CZ-800-10.

Q: 4. Can the built-in preamp be completely bypassed so that the output of the cartridge goes directly to the output terminals on the back of the turntable?

A: Yes, the built-in preamp on the AT-LP5X can be bypassed when the preamp selector switch is set to Phono. When Line output is selected the internal preamp is active. The Phono setting is used when you are connecting to an amp with a dedicated phono input which will have its own preamp built-in or if you want to use a separate external preamp. The Line output setting is used when connecting the turntable to an amp that does not have a dedicated phono preamp so the internal preamp on the AT-LP5X will be engaged.
