The recently released Reloop RP-8000 Professional MIDI DJ turntables sport some of the familiar Super-OEM turntable DNA including the same high-torque motor and tonearm that is found on the Stanton ST-150, Reloop RP-6000, AT-LP1240, etc. The RP-8000 also has an additional digital Pitch LED display, eight rubberized MIDI pads, four MIDI layer buttons, and an over-sized encoder knob which can all be mapped to any MIDI compatible DJ software out on the market today. The main difference with these new Reloop turntables is that they have a familiar "Technics" turntable look and layout with a brushed aluminum top plate, recessed aluminum pitch sliders, and the familiar aluminum start-stop buttons found on the corners. The Pitch range of these turntables can be switched from +/- 8%, +/- 16% and +/- 50% and there are also start and stop adjustment knobs to control the speed that the platter starts and stops the track.

Audio-Technica has been supplying the Grammy Awards ceremony with excellent microphones for performances for the last fifteen years! If the performing professionals can put their trust in AT microphone quality, then so can DJ's! Audio-Technica has sent us a new 2000-Series Handheld Wireless UHF Microphone System along with a battery recharge station in order to put it through the tests and let other DJ's know how this setup works in real-world situations. I will have the Full HD-Video review complete right after we use the microphone system on the road at my June 9th gig. For now you can peep the quick teaser/unboxing video inside.
