A REBORN CLASSIC
The PLX-1000 is precision engineered for the booth, drawing on 50 years’ experience of making high-end turntables. The result is a familiar layout with some next generation improvements, including a high-torque direct drive system, multi-pitch control, club-grade build and sound quality, and detachable power and audio cables. It’s solidly built for excellent vibration damping and ultra-precise, high-grade audio playback. Simply add your choice of cartridge and stylus to the PLX-1000 (not included) and combine with your mixer for an ideal setup for turntablists.
The Pioneer PLX 1000 turntable is the new industry standard for vinyl and ‘DVS’ system DJs alike. This Direct Drive Analog turntable was designed with superior sound quality and the needs of the modern working DJ mind. The Pioneer PLX 1000 turntable has kept to a classic, clean look, with no unnecessary bells and whistles. The PLX 1000 is a true workhorse and suitable for both DJs and home listeners who enjoy the look, feel, and performance of vinyl for music playback. The PLX 1000 is a very viable alternative to the now discontinued Technics 1200.
Pioneer PLX 1000: Close to the "original"
Pioneer has kept it’s design close to the ‘original’ Technics SL-1200 but with several added improvements. These improvements including a high-torque direct drive system, multi-pitch control, club-grade build, superior sound quality and detachable power and RCA audio cables (essentially saving you from costly repairs down the road). Where the original SL-1200 could pitch between + and - 8% the Pioneer PLX 1000’s pitch is divided into three different ranges - 8%, 16% and 50%. The +/- 16% can bridge the gap between 33RPM and 45RPM, and the +/- 50% opens the door for some extreme creativity in ‘juggles’ and ‘mixing’ alike. The turntable can achieve a starting torque of at least 4.5kg/cm and can reach its fixed rotation speed within 0.3 seconds (at 33 1/3 rpm).
Pioneer PLX 1000 Stability
A concern with all turntables is their sensitivity to vibrations. Pioneer has recognized this and has developed a few clever solution to combat this. The inside of the tonearm has a rubber tubing to reduce the ’howling’ effect. The upper part of the turntable’s main body is made of a heavy metal die cast zinc, while the bottom section is made from a solid 8mm think resin, with a base consisting of 9mm of thick vibration-resistant material. The result is a turntable ready to handle the most vibration full environment.

Technics dust covers and hinges.
Ive been putting off buying these for years. My og ones were thrown in a skip by my dad. Still bitter about that but I'm super happy with this purchase. They look very high quality and obviously make my 1200mk2's look even more fantastic. Hope not to have to buy them again but if I do, it'll be from Mix Foundation. 10/10 🤙🕺

Good peeps
Mike was extremely pleasant to deal with and cordial. Went out of his way to help me with a small and finickity order buying some chroma caps, which indicate to me that the Mix Foundation don't see customers as ATMs but as people. Also they care about what the customer needs and are prepared to put time into finding out, so I would trust them to give honest advice to help people fulfill their djing needs. I would certainly recommend this company!

Clear, balanced and punchy. Get one.
Value for money is right up there. If you want the fuss-free convenience of a single piece of kit, put this on your list. The dynamics are right in the pocket and not overbearing or woolly at all. Runs my old Tannoy Mercurys beautifully, and the REL sub is almost superfluous.

Very pleasant and knowledgeable people to deal with. Will help out all customers, I was just buying some chroma caps, and Mike was an extremely helpful and pleasant person with this slightly fiddly request. You know if they help their small customers they are genuine people, so they have earned my trust and I would certainly shop with them for a bigger purchase. Thanks bro!
