VESTAX QFO DJ TURNTABLE

The QFO is a circular turntable with an integrated 2-channel mixer that was designed in collaboration with performance DJ QBert and Thudrumble's Yoga Frog. This new turntable/mixer provides DJs with a convenient, all-in-one scratch DJ tool for performance or practice.

The QFO's high-torque turntable offers an ASTS (Anti-Skipping Tonearm System) tone arm and pitch control with multiple variations to select from. Also included are two start and stop buttons, which allow the user to create percussive start/stop moves with either hand.

Each channel of the mixer section has a 2-band EQ, and a phono and input switch, allowing users to control the turntable on one channel and a CD player or other external source on the other. Additional mixer features include crossfader curve control, crossfader reverse, and input fader curve and reverse.
WILL BE IN STOCK JUNE 2004!

that does NOT look sexy. Blah!!! Give me smooth lines w/ functional components and no bull. I hope your last gf was indeed sexier than that thing otherwise it's pretty mean to call a turntable better looking than your ex gf.

just joking...

its for turntablists.

Posted by Freak on Apr-05-2004 07:54:

Its minging- period.

Looks like it should be in a kitchen and you would use it to make chips.

Too much shit that is on there that is simply not needed- turntablists are a fussy bunch- cant see them catching on, wih the exception of the scratch perverts.
And as technics sponsor the DMC world champs.....well....its hardly gonna be prevalent there is it.

I don't like straight tonearms.

Aside from that, while it looks neat, it seems to me that it has a lot of extra features that are pretty useless and are only there to drive up the price. Just give me a reliable table with a decent torque and a good pitch control, be it Vestax, Technics, Numark, whatever. Turntablists can keep that one.

i dont like straight tone arms either (just looks wierd)

One question to ask yourself if u were considering getting that TT "Do i really need that?"

Posted by dukes on Apr-05-2004 11:51:

you do have to wonder tho....what kind of cool features will be on this thing.

Posted by spit_heron on Apr-05-2004 13:13:

saw Q-bert hammering on this thing at a show some time ago, been trying to track it down since. what that kid can do with one of these is mind blowing.

Learn to read.. "Each channel of the mixer section has a 2-band EQ, and a phono and input switch, allowing users to control the turntable on one channel and a CD player or other external source on the other."

I personally think it's pretty fugly, I think a better question might be "what kind of crack has Vestax been smoking recently?"

Posted by raaven on Apr-06-2004 12:46:

i don't want to know how much that thing costs...

this thing is actualy pretty spectatular. you can "aparently) mount it on a wall and play recors off it

That looks to me like the playskool of turntables. I will stick with my Technics.

Posted by Dervish on Apr-07-2004 04:05:

Yeah but thouse are portable, just imagine DJ Busking..... hang a pair of them round your neck have a nice acid filled car battery in a backpack(and DC>AC converter) it's the future

Ohh forgot the speakers, actually wait a second are they not the ones that have speakers in them?

Posted by Shook1 on Apr-08-2004 00:24:

That playskool looking turntable is used for sample diggers. Runs on batteries & has internal speakers. Basically so u can carry it around diff. record stores, pawn shops, etc. & listen b4 u buy if the store doesnt have "turns". Mainly used for hiphop DJs.
