Pioneer DJ PLX-CRSS12 Description

The Pioneer DJ PLX-CRSS12 redefines the DJ turntable experience by blending traditional analog playback with innovative digital control. Its standout feature is the tone-arm-free DVS mode, which allows digital vinyl manipulation without the risk of needle skipping—thanks to the MAGVEL CLAMP system that securely holds the record while directly controlling your music files. Designed for versatility and customization, the PLX-CRSS12 includes adjustable torque and stopping speed settings, letting you fine-tune the feel of the platter to match your scratching or mixing style. Four MIDI-mappable performance pads are built right into the deck for instant triggering of hot cues, samples, and effects—perfect for DJs using mixers without built-in pads. The built-in OLED display provides real-time track data such as BPM, key, and deck assignment, keeping you focused on the music instead of your laptop. For analog purists, the deck is based on the acclaimed PLX-1000 design and includes high-quality audio components like gold-plated RCA terminals, a die-cast zinc chassis, and a low-noise switching power supply for optimal sound quality. Finished in matte black and built for road-ready reliability, the PLX-CRSS12 is compatible with Serato DJ Pro and rekordbox, and includes everything needed to elevate your DJ rig with hybrid performance power.
