Reloop RP-8000 MK2 Professional DJ Turntable

The RP-8000 MK2 is Reloop’s flagship direct-drive turntable designed for professional DJs, seamlessly integrating with Serato DJ Pro. It features eight performance pads capable of controlling seven different modes. In Platter Play mode, users can manipulate the platter’s rotation speed to create melodies. The RP-8000 MK2 combines unique features with robust build quality, functioning as both a record player and innovative musical instrument.

Specifically developed for Serato DJ Pro, the RP-8000 MK2 offers effortless plug-and-play functionality. In a digital vinyl (DVS) setup, it unlocks unlimited creative possibilities for modern digital DJs. The 8 large pads with RGB illumination can switch between 7 performance modes (Cue, Sampler, Saved Loops, Pitch Play, Loop, Loop Roll, Slicer), as well as 2 customizable user modes. The multi-encoder allows track browsing and instant loading directly from the turntable unit, eliminating the need for additional controllers in performance modes.

Platter Play mode enables pitch control via the performance pads, expanding musical performance options and transforming the RP-8000 MK2 into a versatile musical instrument. It offers 22 scales and 34 notes, with the ability to create up to 9 user-defined scales. The speed select buttons facilitate pitch bending in Platter Play mode and adjust audio pitch in half-tone steps. External MIDI keyboards can also control the platter speed.

The finely-tuned, quartz-driven motor with digital pitch correction starts with a torque of 2.8kg/cm, adjustable up to 4.5kg/cm for smooth operation. The turntable brake speed (platter stop) can be adjusted from 0.2 to 6 seconds, and the precision-machined, heavy die-cast aluminum platter is lined with vibration-reducing rubber to eliminate unwanted vibrations and resonance."

The RP-8000 MK2 features a statically balanced S-shaped tone arm with hydraulic lift and anti-skating mechanism. The newly developed tone arm base provides improved stability and adjustable height/vertical tracking angle (VTA). The low-resonance tone arm comes with a universal connection for pick-up cartridge systems (SME).

By using the high-resolution pitch fader, you can adjust the platter speed in the classic turntable pitch range +/-8%. The RP-8000 MK2 is also cable of a wider, DJ-friendly +/- 16% pitch range and a massive +/-50% ultra-pitch, allowing for increased creativity when manipulating and mixing records. If quartz lock is active, the platter speed will remain unaffected by the fader position and will spin at zero pitch (0%).

Besides all creative improvements, the RP-8000 MK2 has everything a DJ turntable should be equipped with. A digital LC display shows information regarding pitch, BPM, deck assignment, scales and notes, elapsed/remaining time of current track, as well as firmware settings. In Serato DJ Pro, it is possible, for example, to show the current BPM value of a track, in order to exactly match your tracks without the need to look at your computer monitor. The smart USB connection is particularly sophisticated and can connect up to 4 turntables together via USB. The single units assign themselves automatically and constantly, so that only one turntable needs to be connected to a computer via USB. The newly developed aluminum LED target light in unibody design is freely moveable to enable you to find the stylus position in dark surroundings. The target light is also removable and easily replaceable. By using the buttons on the RP-8000 MK2's top panel, you can switch between the three motor speeds (33 1/3, 45 & 78 rpm). Dedicated buttons for forward and reverse mode allow for further creativity in your mix.

Thanks to the recessed rear connection panel, the RP-8000 MK2 can easily be mounted in a flight case and seamlessly positioned next to other DJ gear. Due to the additional output, the turntable can be connected to 2 mixers simultaneously, also allowing an easy switch from DVS to vinyl. An optional ground terminal offers additional protection in club environments. All cable connections (RCA/mains) are detachable and easy to exchange, which also helps with transport and storage.

By using a combination of metal, rubber and synthetic materials, the RP-8000 MK2's housing is more reinforced and heavier than ever before. This results in a turntable that is extremely resistant to vibrations caused by heavy bass sounds, and its shock-absorbing feet help to further improve this isolation. The surface is coated with a scratch-resistant high-quality deep black metallic finish.
