What are some reasons DJs prefer direct-drive turntables?
An automatic turntable spins a vinyl record on a platter at an even speed using a belt or a direct drive. The PL 570 has a direct drive. That means it reaches its speed as soon as it is turned on. When turned off, the platter spins freely with no resistance. DJs can spin records in any direction without damaging the turntable as long as the turntable is turned off. It is also easier to change the tempo of a record on a direct drive turntable, especially for DJs who like to blend a song on one turntable with one on another table. Belt drives take a few seconds to reach full speed, and spinning the platter when turned off damages the belt.
