Reloop RP-2000 MK4 is a new turntable built specifically to get aspiring vinyl DJs on board with a genuinely friendly price tag. Coming in under $380, this turntable delivers exactly what vinyl fans actually care about: a quartz-controlled direct drive, a reinforced chassis, and a pre-mounted cartridge sitting on an S-shaped tonearm. You can already pre-order the new turntable right now, and honestly, it’s worth a look even if you’re not a DJ.
Everything on the Reloop RP-2000 MK4
Reloop RP-2000 MK4 Turntable
The RP-2000 MK4 runs on a quartz-controlled direct drive motor that basically snaps to full, reliable playback speed at the push of a button. The die-cast aluminum platter reaches steady spin speed in under a second, a genuinely important feature for DJs. Wow and flutter stay tightly controlled throughout, keeping both tempo and pitch locked in place.
The RP-2000 MK4 spins records at 45 or 33⅓ RPM, and tempo adjusts from -8% to +8%, with the pitch fader clicking back into place dead center.
An Ortofon OM Black cartridge comes pre-installed on the turntable, though you can obviously mount your own system too through the universal SME connection. Staying true to the classic look of Technics-style DJ turntables, the new turntable also sports an S-shaped tonearm with adjustable tracking force and anti-skate settings.
Reworked Design and Improved Feel
The RP-2000 MK4 arrives with a stripped-down, cleaned-up top panel that’s meant to look good too, not just work well. Beyond the refreshed look, the controls themselves got a pass on both looks and feel.
A reinforced chassis and shock-absorbing feet keep vibrations in check, which should cut down on feedback and skipping needles. Add in a pull-out cue light and mounting points for an optional dust cover, and you’ve got a pretty well-rounded package. Nice.
The new turntable stays true to the series’ core idea: a (DJ) turntable that delivers real performance without asking for much money. Don’t expect a ton of bells and whistles here, but the essentials are all covered. Worth a look, and not just if you DJ.
