This black bundle pairs a Pioneer DJ PLX-500 direct-drive turntable with an Ortofon Concorde Mix MKII cartridge. Switchable phono/line RCA output lets the deck connect to a sound system or powered speakers, and the Type-B USB connection supports recording vinyl to WAV files on a PC or Mac with rekordbox. Playback covers 33 1/3, 45, and 78 rpm records. The supplied Mix cartridge uses a spherical stylus, while the dust cover can hold a record sleeve open for display.
