Key Features

Direct-drive turntable design — uses a direct-drive motor instead of belt-drive, giving quick start-up and stable speed, which is great for DJs as well as home listening.

Manual operation with selectable speeds — supports standard 33⅓ RPM and 45 RPM records (some versions also support 78 RPM with optional stylus), letting you play LPs, singles, or older records.

USB output for digitizing vinyl — you can connect to a computer via USB to record or digitize your vinyl collection easily.

Built-in preamp (switchable / line-level) — makes it easier to connect to most modern amplifiers, powered speakers, or home stereo systems without needing a separate phono preamp.

Adjustable pitch control ±10% — gives speed fine-tuning, useful for DJs or if you want precise pitch/speed matching when playing vinyl.

Sturdy, professional build quality — heavy, stable construction to reduce vibrations and improve playback stability and fidelity.

Detachable headshell + removable dust cover — for protection when not in use, and easier cartridge/stylus changes or upgrades.

Tonearm with anti-skate and counterweight adjustment — allows proper tracking force and anti-skate calibration for accurate playback and minimal record wear.
