Numark introduces the TT250USB turntable

There's a new direct-drive turntable on the way from Numark after the company revealed the TT250USB at DJ Expo in New Jersey.

"Perfectly suited to heavy-duty DJ and music playback duties," according to the press release, it comes armed with a quartz-controlled motor, a heavy cast-aluminium platter ideal for scratching and an S-shaped tonearm with anti-skating control.

As you probably gathered from the title of the model, it allows you to convert the goods in your record bag to digital files, and Numark's Marketing Manager Karl Detkin says its design means it'll be a long-lasting piece of kit.

"This is the ideal turntable for demanding turntablists. Here is a classic turntable that will stand up to heavy-duty DJ use night after night and it also has all the modern conveniences and operational flexibility that make it incredibly satisfying and easy to use. Plus, of course, it sounds absolutely great."

We're not sure when it'll hit the shops but it's got a manufacturer's suggest retail price (MSRP) of £199.99.
