Reloop RP-1000 MK2
DJ turntables · 2013–present In production
£249 UK RRP
Reloop's entry belt-drive: the cheapest way into a proper DJ-layout deck with pitch control and a removable headshell.
Model history: The MK2 update to Reloop's entry-level belt-drive deck keeps the same belt-driven design and Ortofon cartridge but adds a redesigned, more reinforced chassis and reworked metallic buttons with better tactile feel.

Who it suits
Best suited to: mixing, scratching and beatmatching — the torque and start-up speed exist for that job. Less ideal for: a quiet, vibration-isolated deck for critical home listening — belt-drive hi-fi decks are built for that instead.
Compatibility and setup
- Needs a DJ mixer or audio interface with a phono input to be usable — this is a mixing/scratching deck, not designed to feed a hi-fi amplifier directly.
- Manual operation: you cue and lift the tonearm by hand at the start and end of each side — there’s no auto-return or auto-lift.
Good to know
- No built-in phono stage — use an amplifier with a phono input or add a separate phono preamplifier.
- Sold without a cartridge fitted — budget for a compatible cartridge and setup before first use.
