Numark NTX1000 Turntable

Late last year while surfing the Numark DJ website, I noticed that the beloved TTX professional DJ turntable was listed in the "Discontinued" section. That's because they were working on a new flagship turntable called the Numark NTX1000. This new deck replaces the TTX and has a metal rugged construction, high torque direct drive motor, and everything else anyone would want in a professional DJ turntable.

Late last year while surfing the Numark DJ website, I noticed that the beloved TTX professional DJ turntable was listed in the "Discontinued" section. That's because they were working on a new flagship turntable called the Numark NTX1000. This new deck replaces the TTX and has a metal rugged construction, high torque direct drive motor, and everything else anyone would want in a professional DJ turntable. It looks to be a Super-OEM design, but I'm not so sure considering Numark and Denon DJ both are InMusic Brands and Denon has a new turntable in the works that looks similar to this in construction and feature-set. This could be a re-branded Denon turntable, but we'll know in time. I will certainly get this in the lab for the full out review treatment on video once it comes out in Q3 2017 for $400... Check out the full press release below.

Denon DJ has officially announced their new top-tier DJ turntable called the VL12. The new VL12 is not your run-of-the-mill Super-OEM turntable like all the other brands, but this is a totally new Denon DJ designed turntable from the ground up which makes it unique to the DJ realm. The VL12 has a super-high-torque direct drive motor, adjustable pitch, isolation feet, RGB lighting, and professional-grade metal construction.

Check out our quick unboxing & first impressions video of the new Numark NTX1000 DJ turntable. The full video review will be released later today so stay tuned and subscribe to the youtube channel!

The new Reloop RP-8000 Professional Hybrid MIDI DJ turntables sport some of the familiar Super-OEM turntable DNA including the same high-torque motor and tonearm with the additional features such as the 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. Reloop has just released a new three-part Tutorial Video Series to show the main features of the RP-8000.

The Audio-Technica AT-LP1240-USB professional DJ turntable is one of the newest "Super-OEM" turntables to hit the market that is sure to be a big hit with professional turntablists as well as vinyl DJ's all around the World. The AT-LP1240-USB has a super-high torque direct drive motor, comes with a tinted dust cover, and has lots of cool features that DJ's will surely love. Audio-Technica was gracious enough to send us one for a full detailed video review that will be completed shortly. Check out the Unboxing/First impressions video to hold you over until then.

Turntablism has seen somewhat of a resurgence in the last few years, also with more DJ softwares offering pretty advanced DVS systems. And there are great options from Super-OEMS to entry level, and Numark wants to bring something "in the middle-ground". The Numark TT250 turntable is just that and we have a quick demo video with DJ A-Smooth directly from Numark to show what they can do.

Since the announcement of the discontinuance of the mighty Technics 1200 turntables, DJ's everywhere have been looking at different vinyl alternatives for their DVS timecode and analog setups. About two years ago, Audio Technica came up with the AT-LP120-USB direct drive professional turntables with a striking resemblance and feel of the iconic classic Technics 1200. Audio Technica was gracious enough to send me a brand new unit to put it through our tests for a full in-depth HD-Video review. The review will be ready shortly, but check out the unboxing & first impressions HD-Video after the jump.
