Manufacturer's Description for Vestax PDX2300MK2PRO DJ Turntable
When the PDT series came out in 1995, it was used in clubs all over the world. Evolution of the turntable continued with the PDX-a1, PDX-a2, the world's first digital control model PDX-d3, A.S.T.S. and then the PDX-2000 series. Now, we introduce you another evolution of the PDX-2300 with the MkII, answering the demands of the music scene today.
A supreme turntable Less skipping thanks to the dual high-grade technologies that have been combined which gives the player comfort and concentration to create and play sounds on this instrument. DJ pioneer Mixmaster Mike is one of our many users who supports and performs on the PDX-2000Mk II.
New platter Improved to simplify beat matching and performance play, this new platter has been lowered to a height of 7mm (0.27 in.) and has applied a flatter more smoother edge surface. Lowered to also match the mixer, the diamond cut platter is one of its kind.
Dyamic balance This new system works to provide a constant amount of pressure regardless of the tone arm height, the quality of the vinyl or any external vibrations. This type of balance is particularly useful as it helps create better sound quality by controlling the pressure where the needle traces the vinyl.
New arm base This new arm base incorporates a new height adjustment system that accurately allows users to set the arm height and to return to a preferred height setting more easily. The floating suspension system has been noted as the most superior anti-howling feature available on any turntable.
Fine pitch Fast and accurate beat matching adjustment with a 100mm (3.93 in.) +/- 10% fine pitch control fader, without the center indent. The fader movement on this new model has been tightened in order to allow smaller and more accurate pitch adjustments. The Ultra Pitch Fader controls the pitch range by +/- 50%. Combined with the fine pitch fader, a total pitch control of +/ 60% is possible.
Direct drive motor From zero to desired RPM in 0.5 seconds, the PDX-2300's original high torque direct drive DC motor enables to be one of the fastest start-up turntables in the industry. This powerful motor is controlled by an accurate digital servo, allowing any instantaneous pitch adjustments which bring an easier and more accurate mix.
Futuristic body Shying away from tradition, the newly designed futuristic body of the MkII captures the heart of innovation and design. The high-density molded body provides the best possible acoustic sounds and the highest reduction possible from feedback.
Insulating feet The feet on the PDX series are made of molded polyacetal plastic which assists to reduce the effect of external vibrations. Limiting the effects of external vibrations result in a better sound with less feedback and/or howling.
J arm The J-Arm has been specifically designed for genres such as house and techno DJs who prefer the feel and track of a longer reaching tone arm but the performance and skip less tracking of a PDX turntable. Coupled with the new dynamic balance system, this tone arm provides a warm and accurate track that is great for long mixes and loud environments while keeping the aesthetics of the old.
Digital Display This display, which reflects the pitch setting to one decimal place, will show positive and negative pitch changes up to 60%. This kind of display is perfect for beat matching and accurate routine performances involving pitch settings. A feature used and performed with any genre.
Pitch Bend A pitch bend feature lends either 1,2,3 or 6% momentary control over the current playing pitch of the turntable. Pitch bend is especially useful when trying to lock playing speeds of one track to another smoothly and with accuracy.
Flat rear surface For performance DJs it is important that the position of the turntable be as close to the mixer as possible. Thus the new PDX models have a smooth rear face with recessed RCA connectors so that the turntable can be placed flat against the mixer (or each other).

What Our Customers Are Saying About zZounds
"My experiences with zZounds have been great. I have ordered a lot of gear from them, and each time, they have managed to beat their competitors' prices." - customer on January 20th, 2012
Sound:
never skips - the tone arm is amazing!!
Feature:
its features are as promised
Quality:
the only reason i gave this a 9 is because i got some of the refurbished platters from the first us shipment. at one point they had problems with warped platters that were scraping the edges of the deck. my platters are slightly warped but do not scrape, and they still do not cause any sort of tracking issue
Value:
bank. but considering the technics have sold for 500 for the last few decades with virtually no new features, i think its worth it
Manufacturer Support:
n/a
The Wow Factor:
