The most advanced DJ turntable ever made.
With the RP-8000 MK2, we present the most advanced turntable of all time, developed in close cooperation with renowned international turntable artists. This turntable is designed for a seamless integration with Serato DJ Pro, offering the possibility of controlling up to 7 different performance modes via the pad section. And thanks to the unique Platter Play mode, the pads can be used to control the platter's rotation speed to create melodies and authentic musical performances. The RP-8000 MK2 represents the perfect balance of a first-class professional turntable and an innovative musical instrument.
High-Quality Connections and Integrated Phono Pre-Amp
Thanks to the recessed rear connection panel, the RP-8000 MK2 can easily be mounted in a flight case and seamlessly positioned next to other DJ gear. Due to the additional output, the turntable can be connected to 2 mixers simultaneously, also allowing an easy switch from DVS to vinyl. An optional ground terminal offers additional protection in club environments. All cable connections (RCA/mains) are detachable and easy to exchange, which also helps with transport and storage.

Reviews
3x UK DMC Champion
"Platter Play is a real game changer, because it enables DJs to play the turntable actually like a real instrument, finally!"
"Die Kombination eines hochwertigen Players mit der Controller-Einheit und dem Platter-Play-Modus des Reloop RP-8000 MK2 ist jedoch einmalig […] und deswegen ein spezielles, absolut faires Angebot für DJs und Turntablists mit Spieltrieb."
"Reloop propose certainement la solution la plus technologique du moment et, surtout, fourbit de nouvelles armes à destination des DJ pour faire évoluer leurs mix et techniques de jeu."
International Turntablist
"It’s a turntable that has everything I’m looking for!"
"Reloop bringt mit dem RP-8000MK2 einen soliden Turntable in die Läden, der sowohl als reiner Plattenpieler als auch in Sachen Performance-Instrument überzeugt. In Zusammenhang mit der Software Serato DJ Pro macht die MIDI-Sektion des RP-8000MK2 den Turntable zu einer wahren Performance-Waffe."
"[…] this thing has literally all the bells and whistles. […] I strongly recommend it, especially for the turntable guys."
World Scratch Champion
"It’s my favourite turntable I’ve ever used!"
"There's tons of stuff to play with here. The integration is spot on, you've got the links so you only need one USB port. When it comes to the Platter Play stuff, that's a bit beyond me […] - but if you're a real turntablist, I think there's potential to produce some mindblowing stuff here. [...] The extra sort of performance touches and fun level you get with the extra controls here, for me, that's absolutely worth it."

"You’re getting a lot of turntable for your money here, and apart from all the Serato control onboard, you also get the unique Platter Play feature that isn’t seen on any current turntable from anyone else. When paired with the Reloop Elite mixer, they are part of a complete pro scratch set-up to rival anything from the bigger names. Recommended."
