FAQs

Does the Reloop RP-7000 MK2 come with a phono cartridge?

No, the RP-7000 MK2 does not include a phono cartridge. A cartridge and stylus must be purchased separately and mounted onto the tonearm.

Can I connect this turntable directly to speakers?

No, the RP-7000 MK2 features switchable phono and line outputs. It requires connection to a DJ mixer or an amplifier with phono or line inputs, which then connects to your speakers.

What is the difference between the RP-7000 MK2 and older models?

The MK2 version features a reinforced construction for better isolation, an improved tonearm base with VTA adjustment, dual start/stop buttons, and enhanced motor control for more precise adjustments.

How do I engage the reverse function?

There is a dedicated button on the top panel of the turntable used to engage the reverse playback mode.

What does 'Ultra Pitch' mean?

Ultra Pitch refers to the extended pitch control ranges available on the RP-7000 MK2, allowing for drastic tempo changes up to +/-50%, which is useful for creative mixing and sound design.

Is the LED target light removable?

Yes, the adjustable aluminum LED target light is removable and can be easily exchanged, useful for transport or if not needed.

What are the power requirements?

The turntable operates on 100-230 V AC input voltage with a frequency of 50-60 Hz. It comes with an AC mains adapter.

Troubleshooting

Turntable not powering on

Ensure the power adapter is securely connected to both the turntable and a working wall outlet. Check if the main power switch is in the 'on' position.

No sound or distorted sound

Verify that the RCA cables are correctly plugged into the phono or line input of your mixer. Ensure the turntable's output is set to the appropriate input on your mixer and that the correct input gain is set.

Tonearm jumping or skipping

Adjust the anti-skating dial to match the tracking force. Ensure the turntable is on a stable, level surface free from vibrations. Check that the cartridge is securely mounted.

Platter speed is inconsistent

Check if the 'Quartz Lock' feature is accidentally engaged, which overrides pitch control. If not, ensure the pitch fader is clean and try resetting the motor control settings.
