Technics SL 1200Mk2

Technics SL1200 Mk2 hire in Melbourne. The turntable every vinyl DJ learned on, in a road case, with a slipmat. Seriously, these things are bulletproof. I dare you to try to kill one.

DJ turntable hire is a short conversation, because there's one deck that matters. The SL1200 Mk2 is the made in Japan original with the quartz locked direct drive motor that gets to speed before your hand leaves the platter and holds pitch through a full set. The Mk7 came out and DJs kept asking for the Mk2 anyway. Ours live in pro grade Technics road cases and come back to the bench after every hire, because a turntable that's been dropped is a turntable that drifts forever.

It's a deck for vinyl sets, DVS rigs and anyone who wants the real thing on the stage instead of a wobbly backup plan. Plug it into a Pioneer DJM S9 for scratching or a DJM 900 NXS2 for house, drop a Serato box in the chain if you're running digital files, and you have the booth you've always wanted.

Good for: vinyl sets, Serato DVS, scratch DJs, record fairs, club nights, bar residencies, wedding DJs with a crate and DJ console builds.

Good to know: No stylus is included. Add a pair of Ortofon Concorde Digitals when you book, or bring your own cartridges and headshells. For the full two deck setup with a mixer, book the Technics House Vinyl Console or the Technics Scratch Vinyl Console instead. One deck per hire item, so book two for a normal setup.
