The Hybrid Flagship of the RP Range
Born from collaboration with artists, the RP-8000 MK2 stands as Reloop's most advanced turntable. It maintains the robustness of the RP series and adds a high-level MIDI control layer, perfectly synchronized with the "Elite" mixer, for uncompromising stage and club integration.
Who Is It For and What Are Its Uses?
Designed for demanding DJs-turntablists, DVS performers, club residents, and mobile sound engineers-the RP-8000 MK2 excels in scratching, creative mixing, and live/DAW performance. Its armored construction isolates bass frequencies in club environments, while the recessed rear panel facilitates flight-case integration and touring.
Features and Innovations
The LCD screen displays BPM, key, remaining time, deck assignment, and firmware info for immediate visual feedback. The 8 RGB pads control 7 performance modes (Cue, Sampler, Saved Loops, Pitch Play, Loop, Loop Roll, Slicer) plus 2 user modes. The "Platter Play" turns the platter into an instrument, opening up unprecedented melodic possibilities. The front multi-encoder allows browsing and loading tracks directly from the turntable. Mechanically, the high-precision quartz motor, die-cast aluminum platter, and shock-absorbing feet ensure inertia, silence, and resistance to feedback. Extended pitch ranges (+/-8, +/-16, and +/-50 Ultra Pitch), quartz lock, Reverse function, and 33/45/78 RPM speeds offer full control. Connectivity includes USB chaining for up to 4 turntables and dual RCA outputs for flexible DVS/vinyl setups; the built-in phono/line preamp simplifies wiring, with an optional ground terminal for sensitive installations.
