The Lowdown
Numark has released its new, high-torque direct-drive turntable, the NTX1000. It is modelled on Technics’ classic SL1200 design and packs a strong motor that gets the platter to full speed in less than 0.7 seconds (same as SL1200 MK2). It comes with a cartridge-mounted headshell and has a USB output, perfect for connecting to a computer to convert your records to your digital format of choice. The NTX1000 has been priced to directly compete with the likes of the Pioneer DJ PLX-500 and we look forward to putting it through its paces soon.
