Pioneer DJ PLX-500 Turntable [Video]

Pioneer DJ has just introduced a new entry-level direct-drive DJ turntable called the PLX-500. We recently reviewed the top-of-the-line Super-OEM Pioneer DJ PLX-1000 Turntable and found that it was one of the best decks out there. Pioneer hopes to capitalize off that success by offering a cheaper turntable for new users that still has the same layout and overall features. Check out the press release and video after the jump.
