Independent shopping perspective

The Korena take

Built for DJs who move between software-controlled sets and conventional vinyl playback, the PLX-CRSS12 combines DVS operation with an Analog mode that uses its S-shaped tonearm. In DVS mode, its tonearm-free playback is designed to keep up with vigorous scratching of a real record. The battle-style layout leaves room for scratch work, while four MIDI-mappable pads and the OLED display place performance controls and key information on the deck. Magvel-clamp feel, torque, and braking behavior can all be adjusted.
