Vestax PDX 2300 MK2 Pro

Now fitted with the J-Arm, this has been specifically designed for 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 whilst also feeling like an old school turntable.Vestax's top of the range direct drive turntable is now fitted with a new balance element that improves the tracking accuracy and skip less performance of the turntable. This improved performance is the result of a small spring balance that compensates for the changes in gravity thereby stabilizing the pressure at which the needle tracks the vinyl. Adjustable start and stop times, reverse mode and quartz lock. Pitch range up to 10% with pitch adjustment up to 50%. A new improved platter has been added that will make it easier for beat matching and performance play. This new platter has been lowered to a height of 7mm high and has been given a flatter edge surface.

 

NEW PLATTER

Improved to simplify beat matching and performance play, this new platter has been lowered to a height of 7mm (0.27") and has applied a flatter, smoother edge surface. Lowered to also match the mixer, the diamond cut platter is the only one of its kind.

DYNAMIC 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") +/?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-2000's original high torque direct drive DC motor enables it to be one of the fastest start-up turntables in the industry. This powerful motor is controlled by an accurate digital servo, allowing any pitch adjustment instantaneously operative to allow an easier and more accurate mix.

FUTURISTIC BODY

Shying away from tradition, the newly designed futuristic body of the Mk2 captures the heart of innovation and design. The high-density moulded body provides the best possible acoustic sounds and the highest reduction of feedback possible.

INSULATING FEET

The feet on the PDX series are made of moulded 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)
