Pioneer DJ PLX-CRSS12 Hybrid Turntable with DVS Control

The Pioneer DJ PLX‑CRSS12 is a groundbreaking motorized turntable combining analog vinyl playback and tone-arm-free DVS control with a magnetic clamp system. It adds performance pads, OLED display, adjustable torque and stop speed settings, plus seamless Serato and rekordbox integration via USB-C. Built on PLX-1000 DNA and enhanced with the MAGVEL CLAMP, this deck is ideal for scratch DJs and modern performance setups.

 

Main Features

 

• • Hybrid direct‑drive motorized turntable with tone‑arm‑free DVS control
• • MAGVEL CLAMP secures records and lets you adjust clamp weight on the fly
• • 4 MIDI‑mappable performance pads under the platter for hot cues, stems, rolls
• • Built‑in OLED shows BPM, key, deck number, and step‑pitch status
• • Adjustable torque (High/Mid/Low) and selectable stopping speeds
• • Analog playback identical to PLX‑1000 plus digitally controlled needle‑free mode
• • S-shape universal tone arm with static balance and anti-skate adjustment
• • Wide pitch control: ±8%, ±16%, ±50% with step-pitch function
• • USB‑C audio output for DVS via Serato or rekordbox, plus analog RCA out
• • Rugged die‑cast zinc and 8 mm resin chassis with vibration damping
• • Full accessory kit: platter, headshell, clamp, mat, sheet, dust cover, weights

 

If you’re mixing between vinyl and digital decks, PLX‑CRSS12 gives you both without compromise. The tone-arm-free system and MAGVEL CLAMP remove needle skipping and provide tactile vinyl feel even during heavy scratching. Adjustable torque and braking let you dial in feel and cut-offs for your style.

 

The four performance pads are placed below the platter for quick samples, stems triggering, roll effects, and hot cues—perfect for setups without a pad-equipped mixer. The OLED keeps you visually informed with BPM, key, deck assignment, and step-pitch display.

 

Under the hood, the PLX‑CRSS12 uses the same high-quality motor, chassis, and sound path as the PLX‑1000, including vibration-damping zinc casting. Pitch ranges cover full Pro DJM transition needs, plus wide-format USB-C exits for DVS or recording.
