DJ Turntables

Dynamic DJ Turntables

Have you always wanted to be a superstar DJ? Maybe you're a weekend DJ and you want to step things up to that next level. Either way, if you want to scratch on your Numark or simply refine your audio sound, you can find a huge range of stuff on eBay.

DJ Turntables and Drive Motors

The PLX-1000 may be a DJ's dream but if you're just starting out on your DJing journey then there are plenty of decks out there. The motor is usually located under the centre of the platter and it is connected directly. This ensures that there is much higher torque and flutter. If you are after a DJ turntable then Numark among other brands have a couple of belt-drive decks available. These have a lower torque and the platter speed does tend to have a higher level of fluctuation. Belt drive turntables are ideal for beginners or those who want to learn how to scratch but the audio can fluctuate. If you're more of a new-school DJ, you can also connect them up to a USB cable if you want to attach it to your computer. The PLX-1000 has the same USB compatibility.

DJ Turntable Specs and Torque

The most important feature that you need to look out for in your DJ turntable is the torque. If you have a DJ turntable that has a high level of torque then this will accelerate faster in terms of the vinyl spin and it won't slow down as much when you're holding a record still. Numark DJ turntables are ideal for this and they are commonly known for being available with pitch control sliders as well. It is possible to find this feature in other DJ decks as well. Other features of a DJ turntable include a digital output, a master tempo, reverse and adjustable torque. You also have the BPM counter, the tonearm and various other options.
