Reloop RP-8000 MK2 - hybrid performance DJ turntable The RP-8000 MK2 is Reloop’s most advanced turntable — a professional direct drive deck that doubles as a musical instrument. Developed with international turntable artists, it integrates seamlessly with Serato DJ Pro and adds eight RGB performance pads controlling up to seven performance modes, plus the unique Platter Play mode that turns the platter itself into a playable instrument. It’s the deck for DJs who want a first-class turntable and a creative controller in one. Staff take: the expert verdict This is the turntable we recommend to DVS DJs and turntablists who want to push past traditional mixing into genuine performance. The built-in pad section means you don’t need a separate controller for Hot Cues, loops and samples, and Platter Play — with 22 scales and 34 notes on tap — is a genuinely novel way to build melodies from the platter. Add the upgraded tone arm base with adjustable VTA and a powerful, adjustable-torque motor, and it earns its place at the top of Reloop’s range. Pair it with the Reloop Elite mixer to control pad modes across both decks at once. Why choose the Reloop RP-8000 MK2? ● Pad section with 7 performance modes — eight large RGB pads control Cue, Sampler, Saved Loops, Pitch Play, Loop, Loop Roll and Slicer, plus two custom user modes. ● Platter Play — control the platter’s pitch via the pads to create melodies and live musical performances, with 22 scales, 34 notes and up to 9 user-defined scales. ● Balanced S-shaped tone arm — a statically balanced arm with hydraulic lift, anti-skating and an upgraded base offering adjustable height/VTA and a universal SME cartridge connection. ● High-resolution digital pitch fader — classic ±8% plus wider ±16% and massive ±50% ultra-pitch ranges, with quartz lock for zero-pitch playback. ● Powerful adjustable motor — a quartz-driven motor with 2.8 kg/cm starting torque, adjustable up to 4.5 kg/cm, and platter brake adjustable from 0.2–6 seconds. ● MIDI compatibility — communicates with any MIDI-compatible DJ software, removing the need for a separate performance controller. ● Sturdy, vibration-resistant build — a heavier, reinforced metal, rubber and synthetic housing with shock-absorbing feet and a scratch-resistant deep-black metallic finish. ● Flexible connections — recessed rear panel, dual output for connecting to two mixers at once, optional ground terminal and fully detachable RCA/mains cables. Who is the Reloop RP-8000 MK2 for? The RP-8000 MK2 is built for professional DVS DJs, turntablists and performers who want the control of a MIDI pad section built into a full-size turntable.

The tone arm uses a universal SME-type connection; please check the current supplied accessories, as cartridge inclusion can vary — our team can advise and recommend a cartridge.
