I feel like a professional DJ
This turntable is a massive upgrade from my last turntable - and boy I can tell - this Pioneer DJ500 rocks, my old vinyl sounds so much better and the newer records are crystal clear. The ability to record play back direct to a PC is a great addition, as is having a line out and a phono out so you can use powered speakers with no other additions required …. Only down side - I know need better speakers, but that a me problem not a turntable problem.

Pioneer Dj PLX 500
Very happy with this product. Cant fault it. And would recommend it.
Wardy, 45 - 54, Bourne
Excellent
This is overall, excellent. Very well built, very heavy and sturdy. Sounds great too, warm and not overly bright. Feels very good quality for the price. However, there is a minor niggle with this deck and it lies with the phono connections. They are built into the deck. They are too short, which means the deck is very close to the amplifier, it then means you get slight feedback and with no ground wire you can’t eliminate the noise. Please feel free to tell me how to eliminate the noise if you wish.

Was waiting for it!
Wonderful turntable, nice sound and good quality. Shame audio cable is attach onto the device instead of having audio outputs (I was already aware before purchasing the product)
CallMeBob, 35 - 44, Inverness, Highlands
Fantastic bit of kit!
As a former professional DJ in the 90s, I wanted to relive the joy of spinning vinyl and mixing House, Garage, and Techno music. Opting for a pair of direct-drive turntables was an easy decision, but finding the right ones was more challenging. The iconic Technics 1210s are now priced well out of reach, and second-hand models often come with too many uncertainties. Enter the Pioneer PLX-500 - a fantastic alternative that captures everything the Technics offered back in the day. These turntables deliver exceptional performance, sturdy build quality, and the reliability you'd expect for seamless mixing. Whether you're scratching or blending tracks, they hold up perfectly. I genuinely can’t fault them. I'm absolutely delighted with my purchase and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone, whether you're rekindling a passion for vinyl or just starting your DJ journey.

To extend the phono output cables on the Pioneer DJ PLX 500 Turntable, an RCA male (plug) to RCA female (jack) extension cable is required. This type of cable is commonly used in audio setups and will allow the connection to reach the amplifier.

Hello Partridge,
The supplier has advised the following for the Pioneer DJ PLX 500 Turntable - Black:
"Yes, you can connect a Pioneer PLX-500 turntable to an external Rotel amplifier with two-channel RCA connector sockets. The PLX-500 has a single RCA output, which can be connected to either the left or right channel of the amplifier, but you will need to use a Y-adapter or a mono-to-stereo adapter to connect it to both channels if you want to use both channels of the amplifier for a stereo signal. However, if your amplifier has a mono input or you are using it in a setup where one channel is sufficient, you can connect directly."
Thank you for using Q&A.
