Denon Denon DJ VL12 Prime Professional DJ Turntable with True Quartz Lock 2017 - Black

This Denon DJ VL12 Prime Professional DJ Turntable with True Quartz Lock was purchased new and was used in a smoke free home. The unit was barely used and never left the studio and is in pristine condition. The turntable is a strategic choice for professional DJs and audiophiles due to its industry-leading performance and rare availability. This rare find in this condition allows you to own a piece of "ground-up" engineered technology that avoids the generic "Super-OEM" designs found in many other modern brands. Key Performance Benefits Highest-in-Industry Torque: The VL12features an adjustable torque of up to 5kgf/cm on its "High" setting, providing nearly instantaneous start-up (0.3 seconds) and rock-solid stability for heavy scratching or precision mixing. Superior Acoustic Isolation: Specifically designed for loud club environments, it uses four unique engineering-led isolation feet and a heavy all-metal chassis (approx. 28 lbs) to neutralize sub-frequencies and prevent feedback. Isolated Motor Design: Unlike many standard turntables, the motor is isolated from the chassis to minimize electrical interference, resulting in an optimal signal-to-noise ratio for crystal-clear audio. Tactile Precision: The "Easy Grip/Brake" chamfered platter allows for more responsive, subtle adjustments during a mix compared to traditional flat-edged platters. Unique Features Customizable RGB Lighting: A built-in light ring under the platter can be set to various colors and brightness levels, allowing you to match the aesthetic of your DJ booth or brand. Wide Pitch Range: It offers adjustable digital pitch control at ±8%, ±16%, and ±50%, making it highly versatile for creative beat-matching and extreme tonal effects. Innovative Tonearm Support: The S-shaped tonearm features a dual-function "lock or rest" support that keeps the cartridge secure during transport without needing a flimsy plastic clip. Considerations for 2025 Rarity: As a discontinued legendary deck, a mint-condition unit is increasingly hard to find, making it a potentially valuable asset for a high-end setup. Connectivity: It provides standard RCA phono-level outputs but does not include a built-in preamp; you will need an external mixer or phono preamp for home use. No Dust Cover: The VL12 did not originally ship with a lid, so you may need to purchase a Decksaver cover separately to maintain its mint condition.
