When it comes to the history of the DJ, the instrument that lead the way for more than two decades from the 1970’s-2001 was none other than a Turntable, alongside cartridges and needles that enabled turntablism and the DJ artform to be born!
A Turntable is a professional record player built to deal with vibrations from large sound systems as well as the punishment dealt out to it from a DJ. A Turntable spins a 12” vinyl platter and its cartridge and needle connect to the vinyl groove in order to pick-up and playback the recorded music. DJ turntables utilise a direct drive motor, rather than a belt driven system, which gives the DJ a lot more control over the constant speed of the platter when performing tricks or scratching, cueing and throwing in your tracks.
