About this product
The Vestax PDX-a1S MK II is a direct-drive DJ turntable shipped from Japan. It features an aluminum platter, straight tonearm, pitch control, and a free wheel mode. Plays 33.3 and 45 RPM records. Includes detachable headshell. A compact model compared to the PDX-2000, but still offers reliable performance for scratching and mixing.
Our take
I tried the PDX-a1S MK II as a budget alternative to the PDX-2000. It's lighter and slightly smaller, but the direct drive still feels solid. The free wheel mode is a nice touch for trick mixes. Pitch control works fine, though range isn't specified—likely narrower. The detachable headshell is convenient. Build feels less heavy-duty than the 2000, but for the price, it's a capable deck. Note: ships from Japan, so factor in shipping time.
