LAB REVIEW
Numark’s best sellingportable turntableis the best value / reliable at this price point. For anyone who collects or buys vinyl regularly, the uses of a portable turntable are obvious – listen to records before you buy, and play them anywhere. It’s a good deal all around. The Numark PT01 follows the basic principles of vintage portable models, but addsseveral modern convenienceswhich older portables lack: USB and RCA output, hi/low tone control, and +/- 10% pitch control. In addition, the PT01 has the basics down solid – 33, 45 & 78 rpm play so you can listen to basically any record you find, the inclusion of both 3.5mm and 1/4″ headphone inputs so you can listen with whatever headphones you got (or the built-in loudspeaker), plus the ability to run on battery or included power plugis crucial. Lastly, the PT01 featuresa simple,utilitarian shape thatwill fit inside a record crate or bag quite easily, or can be transported by built-in carry handle. A quality portable and a great value especially with the ability to record to computer via USB (download latest MAC/ PC recording software here).
