Gemini TT-5000 Direct-Drive USB Turntable

The Gemini TT-5000 (also written TT5000 or TT 5000) is a high-torque, direct-drive DJ turntable with USB recording. It has a battle-style layout, instant start, 33, 45, and 78 RPM speeds, and a ±10% pitch slider, so it works for DJs who spin, scratch, and beat-match, as well as collectors who want to digitize their records. A built-in switchable phono preamp lets you plug it straight into a DJ mixer, receiver, or powered speakers.

Under the platter is a 16-pole, 3-phase brushless DC direct-drive motor rated at 4.5 kg/cm of torque for fast starts and steady speed during a set. The statically balanced S-shaped tonearm has a hydraulic lift, adjustable height, and anti-skate, and the reinforced chassis rides on shock-absorbing feet to cut vibration.
