Numark's flagship TTX turntable has been upgraded with a new and improved, direct-drive motor boasting variable torque. The TTX's new variable torque motor offers three settings: Low (2.5 kgfcm), Medium (3.7 kgfcm), and High (4.7kgfcm). These three torque settings are tailored to different styles of spinning–providing DJs greater opportunity for expression via the most comprehensive and versatile turntable available. Further improvements to the TTX include a new digital control section. With its enhanced motor control DSP, the TTX delivers rock-solid pitch stability. Additionally, this exceptional turntable incorporates an improved strobe target light that can be rotated depending upon the head shell position and the amount of light required on the vinyl record surface. Of equal importance, the new TTX runs cooler than previously, providing reliability. Additional features of the TTX include interchangeable tonearms, with both straight and S-shaped tonearms for heavy scratching or high fidelity spinning included. The TTX also offers modular Pitch Fader and Button cartridges that can be repositioned to accommodate normal horizontal or vertical "battle mode" turntable placement. A Key Lock feature enables DJs to retain a specific key–even one different than the original–while also continuously changing tempo. Pitch range is adjustable to 8, 10, 20, and 50%, and playback speeds include 33, 45, and 78 RPM. Direction is reversible via a dedicated button, and two Start/Stop buttons are provided. Pitch, RPM, BPM, and motor settings are clearly indicated on the TTX's vibrant, blue illuminated display. The TTX offers an S/PDIF (coaxial) digital output for direct connectivity to CD-R devices and similar electronic equipment, as well as selectable phono or line level analog outputs without a ground wire. The turntable is housed in a solid core steel enclosure with a rubber base that is optimized for damping vibrations and eliminating undesirable noise. Suggested retail price of $629. The TTX is now shipping. For more information, visit their web site at http://www.numark.com/.
