Turntable in limited gold edition - 1500 pieces worldwide. An engraved plate with a unique device code makes every RP-7000 MK2 GLD an exclusive collector's item. In addition, this special edition is supplied with a golden headshell and an exclusively designed slipmat with Reloop signet. The subtle golden elements on the turntable make it a minimal, yet elegant and timeless design. With the RP-7000 MK2 GLD, Reloop has built a turntable that caters to the high demands of professional DJs and modern nightclubs. With its powerful direct drive motor and rugged construction we were able to develop a sturdy and indestructible turntable that can take on harsh everyday life with ease. By using a combination of metal, rubber and synthetic materials, the RP-7000 MK2's housing is more reinforced and heavy than ever before. This results in a turntable that is extremely resistant to vibrations that can be caused by heavy bass sounds in DJ booths and its shock-absorbing feet help to further improve isolation. The surface is coated with a scratch-resistant high-quality deep black metallic finish. The RP-7000 MK2 GLD 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). Aluminium LED target light is freely moveable to help you find the stylus position in dark surroundings. The target light is also removable and easily exchanged. An additional start/stop button has also been integrated to facilitate a vertical setup (battle position) and by using the buttons on the RP-7000 MK2's top panel, you can switch between the three motor speeds (33 1/3, 45 and 78 rpm). Dedicated buttons for forward and reverse mode allow for further creativity in your mix. Using the high-resolution pitch fader you can adjust the platter speed in the classic turntable pitch range +/-8 %. However, the RP-7000 MK2 GLD is also cable of a wider, DJ-friendly +/- 16 % pitch range and a massive +/-50 % ultra-pitch. This allows for increased creativity when modulating the playing record's tone. If quartz lock is active, the platter speed will remain unaffected by the fader position and will spin at zero pitch (0 %). Thanks to the recessed rear connection panel, the RP-7000 MK2 GLD can easily be mounted in a flight case and seamlessly positioned next to other DJ gear. The switchable integrated phono pre-amp makes it is possible to use the gold-plated RCA connectors for both phono and line output signals. 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. The fine-tuned, quartz-driven motor with digital pitch correction operates at a starting torque of 2,8 kg/cm, which can be adjusted up to a maximum of 4,5 kg/cm. This makes it an extremely smooth running turntable with wow and flutter of just 0,01% WRMS. Furthermore, the turntable break speed (platter stop) can be adjusted from 0,2 – 6 seconds and the precision-machined, heavy die-cast aluminium platter is lined with vibration reducing rubber to eliminate unwanted vibrations and resonance.
