Newly redesigned platter and better sound quality through dynamic balancing.
Overview
When the PDT series came out in 1995, it was used in clubs all over the world. Evolution of the turntable continued with the PDX-a1, PDX-a2, the world's first digital control model PDX-d3, A.S.T.S. and then the PDX-2000. Now, we introduce you another evolution of the PDX-2000 with the MkII, answering the demands of the music scene today.
A supreme turntable
Less skipping thanks to the dual high-grade technologies that have been combined which gives the player comfort and concentration to create and play sounds on this instrument. DJ pioneer Mixmaster Mike is one of our many users who supports and performs on the PDX-2000Mk II.
Awards in 2004
The PDX2000-MkII won the 2004 M.I.P.A (Music Messe International press award) in the turntable/ CD player category. The M.I.P.A is chosen through magazine media throughout the World, proving Vestax once again on a solid, quality and technology product for DJ around the World.
New platter
Improved to simplify beat matching and performance play, this new platter has been lowered to a height of 7mm (0.27 in.) and has applied a flatter more smoother edge surface. Lowered to also match the mixer, the diamond cut platter is one of its kind.
Dyamic balance
This new system works to provide a constant amount of pressure regardless of the tone arm height, the quality of the vinyl or any external vibrations. This type of balance is particularly useful as it helps create better sound quality by controlling the pressure where the needle traces the… read more vinyl.
New arm base
This new arm base incorporates a new height adjustment system that accurately allows users to set the arm height and to return to a preferred height setting more easily. The floating suspension system has been noted as the most superior anti-howling feature available on any turntable.
Fine pitch
Fast and accurate beat matching adjustment with a 100mm (3.93 in.) +/- 10% fine pitch control fader, without the center indent. The fader movement on this new model has been tightened in order to allow smaller and more accurate pitch adjustments. The Ultra Pitch Fader controls the pitch range by +/- 50%. Combined with the fine pitch fader, a total pitch control of +/ 60% is possible.
Direct drive motor
From zero to desired RPM in 0.5 seconds, the PDX-2000's original high torque direct drive DC motor enables to be one of the fastest start-up turntables in the industry. This powerful motor is controlled by an accurate digital servo, allowing any instantaneous pitch adjustments which bring an easier and more accurate mix.
Futuristic body
Shying away from tradition, the newly designed futuristic body of the MkII captures the heart of innovation and design. The high-density molded body provides the best possible acoustic sounds and the highest reduction possible from feedback.
Insulating feet
The feet on the PDX series are made of molded polyacetal plastic which assists to reduce the effect of external vibrations. Limiting the effects of external vibrations result in a better sound with less feedback and/or howling.
Flat rear surface
For performance DJs it is important that the position of the turntable be as close to the mixer as possible. Thus the new PDX models have a smooth rear face with recessed RCA connectors so that the turntable can be placed flat against the mixer (or each other). read less

"This should be the industry standard. Everyone is picky about this because they have been using another brand for a long time. H"
Until the Controller one comes out(also from vestax), this table is the best you can get.
Sound
Theb sound reflection through this table is top notch.
Features
No other turntable offers the features of this one. The ultra pitch is a revolutionary add-on to this item. Turtablists wouldn't be able to do half of what they do without it.
Ease of Use
The platter torque is second to none. It offers more start up speed than the once industry standard "Technique 1200"
Quality
It may look cheap, but I have had mine for 3 years and aside from a few scratches, it's perfect. No parts have ever broken.
Value
It's simply the best turntable out there, and not even the most expensive
Manufacturer Support
Can't comment because I've never needed it.
The Wow Factor
It's got such good features that no other table offers. The ultra pitch, quartz lock and reverse buttons are all very useful.
Musical Background:
Active musician
Musical Style:
Hip-Hop Turntablist and part-time mix Dj
