Turntables are still a mainstay in today's DJ culture despite recent advances in digital vinyl control technology. In fact, the analog turntable is essential to this modern art. We carry the best in reliability and performance when it comes to turntables for DJ turntablism and scratching, or for high-fidelity playback of your prized vinyl collection. We even sell turntables with direct-to-USB functionality to quickly and easily capture and convert those analog gems into digital files.

Vestax PDX-3000

Do not be deceived of the design. It may look the same as the PDX series from the past, but nothing comparable. With its new features, the PDX-3000 gives you absolute control over the vinyl. In addition of the traditional pitch control and ultra pitch, a torque simulator system is built in to adjust the motors torque power to the DJs preference, allowing you to scratch but also mix with the PDX-3000 like no other turntable before! The PDX-3000(*1) is also the world’s first turntable to have MIDI connection, which enables external MIDI devices to control the pitch. Stability is a known virtue of the PDX series, and is the same for the PDX-3000. Vestax's original Anti Skipping Tone Arm System (A.S.T.S) provides sufficient performance for DJs who juggle and scratch. For many DJs familiar to straight arm Djing, the PDX-3000 is your perfect choice.
