zZounds Gear Experts Say...
First-class turntable for the professional DJ who demands uncompromised quality construction while not requiring digital implementation.

Featuring the same ultra-high torque direct drive motor as Numark's TTX, the TT500 is a first-class turntable for the professional DJ who demands uncompromised quality construction while not requiring digital implementation.

Numark is obsessed with designing equipment that meets the individual need of every DJ. That's why the sound of Numark has been present in scratches, breaks, and beats for more than 30 years. Before we develop new products, we ask these questions: What tools does a DJ need to create and deliver a signature sound? What functions and features will give a DJ ultimate control and creativity in battles, clubs, studios, weddings, and sets at the house at the end of the street? Our premise is that only one thing matters: the DJ's experience. From basic tools to the most advanced gear for forward professionals, our equipment is designed and engineered to stand up to the rigors of this experience.
