Mixstory Vinyl DJ Turntable Direct Drive

The Mixstory Vinyl DJ Turntable Direct Drive is engineered for the DJ who approaches vinyl as both a performance instrument and an archival medium — providing the torque, platter stability, and analog output quality that professional scratch and blend technique demands, alongside a USB digital output that converts the vinyl playback to a 24-bit digital signal for computer recording and sample archiving. Mixstory’s direct-drive motor system achieves a startup torque of 4.5 kg/cm, reaching the 33 RPM target speed from stationary in 0.35 seconds — fast enough to restart the platter from a full stop without the characteristic delay of belt-drive designs that makes rhythm-critical scratch technique unreliable. The motor control circuit continuously monitors platter speed using a 140-point optical encoder and corrects deviations within 8 milliseconds, maintaining a wow and flutter specification of less than 0.015 percent WRMS. The aluminum die-cast platter is dynamically balanced to Mixstory’s 0.3 gram rotational tolerance specification, eliminating the low-frequency platter vibration that cheaper turntables transmit into the stylus and produce as audible wow modulation during playback. Torque is adjustable via the front-panel control across three levels — high for aggressive scratch work, medium for standard blend mixing, and low for delicate audiophile playback — allowing a single turntable to serve both DJ performance and critical listening applications without compromise. A built-in phono preamplifier with selectable bypass allows direct connection to line-level inputs — eliminating the need for a phono-capable mixer or external preamp for users connecting to modern DJ mixers that lack phono stage inputs. The USB output provides a 24-bit/48 kHz stereo digital stream directly to a computer without any additional hardware. Speed selection covers 33.3, 45, and 78 RPM with pitch adjustment of ±8 and ±16 percent on the standard range, ±50 percent on wide range. Dimensions: 450mm × 350mm × 160mm. Weight: 10.2 kg.
