What customers say
Professionals view the PLX CRSS12 as a major innovation, especially for scratch and hybrid DJs using DVS. The defining feature is the revolutionary tonearm-less DVS control system using the MAGVEL CLAMP. Users praise this as a game changer, eliminating skips and feedback during intense scratching, providing unparalleled precision and stability. Build quality is universally lauded, maintaining the robust, reliable feel expected from Pioneer DJ. The direct drive motor offers powerful, precise torque. While the initial cost is high, the unique control mechanism and resulting performance gains fully justify the premium price. Once the MAGVEL tension is mastered, users report unmatched control, setting a new benchmark for professional turntablism.
Know before you buy
The turntable uses a specialized Magvel Clamp that secures your record to the platter. This system reads the rotation data directly, allowing you to scratch and control digital tracks in Serato DJ Pro or rekordbox without the need for a needle or tonearm.
Yes. While it is designed for advanced DVS performance, it functions as a high-quality analog turntable. You can easily attach the included tonearm to play standard vinyl records.
No, this unit does not include a built-in preamp. You will need to connect it to an external phono preamp or a DJ mixer with dedicated phono inputs to achieve the correct signal level.
The performance pads are MIDI-mappable and fully compatible with Serato DJ Pro and rekordbox. They allow you to trigger hot cues, samples, and other software functions directly from the deck.
The PLX-CRSS12 offers significant customization, including adjustable rotation torque and braking speeds. You can also fine-tune the weight of the disc using the dial on the Magvel Clamp to match your preferred scratching resistance.
At 26.9 pounds, it is a robust, professional-grade deck built for stability in club environments. While it is durable enough for transport, its weight and size are better suited for permanent installations or heavy-duty flight cases.
