It\u2019s a tactile, old-school bit of kit that\u2019s learnt some new tricks \u2013 and it could be the mid-range turntable you\u2019re looking for.<\/p>\n<p>While Reloop is known for its reliable turntables, the RP-5000 MK4 builds upon the company\u2019s formula, optimising and enhancing legacy features. The result is a machine with glimmers of club-standard quality, with its 2.5 kg\/cm torque, an intuitive new layout and a refined chassis.<\/p>\n<p>Alongside the RP-5000 MK4\u2019s refined motor characteristics, the turntable also aims to minimise any potential interference that may disturb your sets. This includes increased damping and shock-absorbing feet to reduce vibration, as well as a gold-plated phono output and IEC connector with a detachable cable to maximise cabling flexibility while lessening potential sources of error.<\/p>\n<p>As well as this, the turntable also employs an internal switching power supply, another effort to reduce unwanted interference.<\/p>\n<p>But what\u2019s it like to play? Well, the RP-5000 MK4 has a die-cast aluminium platter, as well as a statically balanced, S-shaped tonearm equipped with a hydraulic lift and anti-skating mechanism. There\u2019s also an integrated pop-up stylus LED target light, a must for those dark club nights. The button layout has also been tweaked to make it as ergonomic and intuitive as possible, meaning DJs should take to it like a duck to water.<\/p>\n<p>The turntable also boasts three different speeds, 33 \u2153, 45 and 78 rpm, with a clearly marked strobe light indicator and tempo scale to keep you in the know. Elsewhere, you can also adjust your pitch, with the option of exploring ranges of \u00b18%, \u00b116% or \u00b150%. There\u2019s also a smooth, clickless pitch fader and a reverse switch.<\/p>\n<p>Reloop\u2019s RP-5000 MK4 is currently available for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thomann.co.uk\/reloop_rp_5000_mk_4.htm?offid=1&amp;affid=3345\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">\u00a3397 from Thomann<\/a>, with stocks expected to drop within 7-9 weeks.<\/p>\n<p>Get the MusicTech newsletter<\/p>\n<p class=\" mb-4 max-w-xl\">Get the latest news, reviews and tutorials to your inbox.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"With an industry-standard torque, a refined brushless DC motor and a slew of features to reduce wow and&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":256972,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[59521,61,60,124518,80],"class_list":["post-256971","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-technology","tag-dj-gear","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-namm-2026","tag-technology"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/256971","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=256971"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/256971\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/256972"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=256971"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=256971"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=256971"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
