Reloop RP-2000 MK4 Silver

The Reloop RP-2000 MK4 Silver is a direct-drive turntable designed for DJs who want to mix with vinyl without paying the price of a high-end turntable. It features the core elements that have made the RP series a staple at Reloop for several generations: a quartz motor, an SME tonearm, and a cartridge included. This silver version includes all the technical features of the RP-2000 MK4—only the finish has changed—which is handy if you want to match your turntable to a silver setup or make it stand out visually in the booth. If you’re looking for a reliable turntable for practice or regular gigs, offering good value for the price given its built-in components, this is the model for you.

Highlights

• Quartz-controlled direct-drive motor: high starting torque and spins up in less than a second; you’re back up to full speed right after a backspin without the motor stalling


• Low wobble and jitter, stable rotation: the pitch doesn’t drift during a mix, even over a long set


• Two speeds (33? and 45 rpm) and ±8% pitch with center click: you can find the original tempo by feel, without looking at the screen


• Precision-machined die-cast aluminum platter: its inertia absorbs the jolts of scratching without slowing the rotation


• Statically balanced S-shaped tonearm with universal SME mount, anti-skating, and adjustable tracking force: the stylus stays in the groove during scratching, and you can switch cartridges without changing the tonearm


• Ortofon OM Black cartridge included, already mounted on the cartridge holder: nothing extra to buy or align—just plug it in and start mixing


• Reinforced chassis and shock-absorbing feet: fewer vibrations transmitted to the stylus, meaning less feedback and skipping in clubs or on the go


• Retractable light at the stylus tip: you can see where to place the stylus without lighting up the entire booth

Direct-drive quartz motor: the torque you need for scratching and backspinning

The motor drives the platter directly, without a belt or intermediate pulley, resulting in significantly higher startup torque than a belt-driven turntable. Quartz control locks in the tempo regardless of vibrations or ambient temperature. In practice, the spin-up time is less than a second: after a backspin or an abrupt stop, the turntable resumes full speed almost instantly, so you don’t lose the flow of the transition. Wobble and flicker (the micro-variations in speed that make the pitch sound unstable to the ear) remain minimal, so the tempo stays consistent even during a long mix.

±8% pitch range and center click: lock in the tempo without spending the whole night on it

The ±8% pitch range (the slider that speeds up or slows down the track to match the next one) covers most of the tempo variations you’ll encounter when mixing vinyl. The center notch marks a clear reference point at 0%, the record’s original tempo: you can feel it with your finger without having to look at the screen, which is handy for returning to the original tempo between tracks. The two speeds—33? and 45 rpm—cover everything from albums to 45 rpm singles, which you often come across in clubs or while digging for records.

SME tonearm and Ortofon OM Black cartridge: ready to mix right out of the box

The S-shaped tonearm is statically balanced, meaning its weight is distributed so that it doesn’t press harder on one side of the record than the other. Anti-skating (which compensates for the force that naturally pushes the stylus toward the center of the record) and adjustable tracking force prevent the stylus from skipping during a hard scratch. The universal SME connection means you can remove the cartridge holder and swap out the cartridge without replacing the entire tonearm—a handy feature if you want to upgrade your turntable later. Reloop ships the RP-2000 MK4 with an Ortofon OM Black cartridge already mounted on the included cartridge holder: no need to order a cartridge separately or align it yourself.

Reinforced chassis and anti-vibration feet: keep up the pace in clubs or on the go

The chassis has been reinforced and the feet absorb shocks, which limits the transmission of vibrations (from speakers, a moving crowd, or a shaking table) to the cartridge. Fewer vibrations mean less feedback (the whistling sound that occurs when sound from the speakers feeds back into the stylus) and fewer skips in the middle of a mix. One final detail rounds out the package: a retractable light at the turntable’s platter, so you can see where to place the needle without illuminating the entire booth. An optional dust cover is available if you store the turntable between sessions.
