Reloop RP 4000 MK2 black

With this MK2 evolution, Reloop revisits its mid-range turntable, adding notable refinements in terms of ergonomics and controls. The metal chassis gains in finish with a metallic black top panel, while the high-torque motor and three playback speeds make it a versatile tool, both for mixing and for everyday vinyl listening.

A quartz motor that responds instantly

At the heart of the RP 4000 MK2 is an 8‑pole, 3‑phase, quartz-controlled brushless DC motor. With a starting torque of more than 1.8 kg·cm, the die-cast aluminum platter reaches its nominal speed in less than a second. This response time lets you cue tracks without waiting, and restart the platter after manual correction without losing the beat. The electronic brake ensures an equally fast stop.

Quartz regulation maintains stable rotation with wow and flutter below 0.2%, resulting in a constant tempo throughout playback. Three speeds are available: 33⅓, 45, and 78 rpm. The latter allows you to play old shellac records or 78 rpm reissues, an asset for those who collect a variety of formats.

Tempo control with two pitch ranges

The pitch fader has a firm travel with enough resistance to prevent accidental changes. Two ranges can be selected via a dedicated button: ±8% for precise beatmatching, or ±16% for more pronounced variations during creative transitions. The Quartz Lock function lets you instantly return to the original tempo with a single press, without fumbling to find the neutral position.

Reverse playback allows backspin effects and reverse transitions, while the stroboscopic markings on the edge of the platter help visually check speed stability.

An S-shaped tonearm ready to use with Ortofon cartridge

The tonearm has an S-shaped design with static balance and hydraulic cueing. This design damps the descent of the stylus onto the record to avoid shocks. The anti-skating mechanism is adjustable from 0 to 7 grams, allowing you to adapt the lateral force to the cartridge used.

The universal SME connection accepts most headshells on the market, and the turntable comes equipped with a preinstalled Ortofon OM Black cartridge. This spherical stylus model, made in Denmark, ensures proper groove tracking for both mixing and listening. The recommended tracking force is between 3.5 and 8.5 grams (13 to 18 g with the headshell), which covers a wide range of replacement cartridges if you wish to upgrade to another model.

The stylus light deploys at the push of a button: an extendable aluminum lamp illuminates the playback area, handy when working in a dim room or on stage.

Robust construction and vibration isolation

The metal chassis gives the turntable a weight of 9.8 kg, contributing to its stability. The feet absorb ambient vibrations, although their height is not adjustable. This high mass limits disturbances transmitted by an unstable floor or piece of furniture, a welcome advantage in a party environment where bass makes the furniture shake.

The metal buttons on the top panel provide clear tactile feedback when pressed. Start/stop, speed selection, pitch range, reverse and tempo reset: all controls fall naturally under your fingers without hesitation. The matte metallic black finish resists fingerprints well and blends discreetly alongside a DJ mixer.

The RCA phono output cable (with ground wire) is integrated into the chassis and not removable. This choice simplifies connectivity but means you must handle the unit carefully to avoid damaging the cable. The phono output requires an external preamplifier or a phono input on your mixer.
