zZounds Gear Experts Say...
This direct-drive DJ turntable has it all: a quiet isolated motor, switchable torque, true quartz lock -- even eye-catching RGB lighting on the platter edge.
Overview
The Denon DJ VL12 Prime was designed and built from the ground up by Denon DJ to be the ideal professional DJ turntable. With heavy-duty all-metal construction and adjustable torque to fit any DJ style, the VL12 Prime cuts, scratches, and blends any music to perfection. Under the turntable are four special isolation feet, enabling the VL12 to resist vibration from almost any environmental source, even in very loud settings. Pitch is adjustable over a very wide range, from +/-8% to +/-50%, so the DJ can achieve the perfect tonal effect.
Switchable Low and High torque settings ensure the ideal start-up with any record, and the precise S-shaped tone arm tracks any record perfectly, extracting every last bit of musical impact and detail. For a perfect finishing touch, the platter is ringed with RGB lighting, with custom control of brightness and color. This is a one-of-a-kind turntable with striking looks to match its extraordinary performance and build quality.

I'm sure there will be plenty of DJ reviews soon, but I'm coming at this from a different angle. I'm just a vinyl/turntable enthusiast. I'm not a DJ nor do I do any mixing. I've owned several medium to high-end belt dive turntables as well as the venerable Technics SL-1200MK2, SL-1200MK5 and the Pioneer PLX-1000.
This isn't just for DJ's although it's clearly a DJ deck. But the sound this beast produces blew me away. I wasn't expecting this. I already prefer this turntable to my Technics and PLX-1000.
The only disappointment is the lack of a dust cover.
Nice job Denon DJ. And the customer service from zZounds has been stellar. Some of the best customer service I've received from any retailer.
