Pioneer DJ does love new shiny. And even the newest shiny has got a gold version before it has even hit the streets. Having just announced the DJM-S9, Pioneer DJ is hoping to turn the heads of well heeled scratch DJs with a limited run of gold PLX-1000s and the new DJM-S9.
THEIR SAY
Turntablists are in for a treat with the release of limited edition gold models of the PLX-1000 turntable and DJM-S9 two-channel mixer for Serato DJ. Both feature a gold-finish top panel and elements of gold throughout their design, including the turntable’s tone arm and the mixer’s crossfader and channel fader knobs.
We’re releasing just 1,000 PLX-1000-Ns and 500 DJM-S9-Ns worldwide, each bearing a plate engraved with its unique serial number – making this a golden opportunity to get your hands on a truly unique set-up.
KEY FEATURES PLX-1000-N
- Classic DJ turntable layout
- High-torque direct drive (33⅓ rpm in 0.3 seconds)
- Solid build for excellent vibration damping
- Multiple tempo control options: ±8%, ±16% and ±50%
- Removable power, ground and phono cables
- Rubber-lined, S-shaped tone arm
- Tempo reset button
- Professional-grade gold-plated RCA jacks
OUR SAY
There isn’t a press release for this but the PLX-1000-N is €899 and the DJM-S9-N is €1899, which all told comes to a sphincter-tightening and eye-watering €3697. With 500 sets being made, that’s a total retail value of €1.8m, making this a highly aspirational purchase, and putting you in a very exclusive club, one that your average turntablist cannot hope to be part of.
I prefer black anyway. I like how the dark background makes the buttons pop. Expect them to be given out at DMC finals though.
