This is what the new super-portable, standalone,battery-powered STX from Stantonis for.

All-In-One

The STX puts all the parts of a scratch DJ setup into one box.

You get the turntable, the crossfader, plus a wired input and a Bluetooth output.

Theres even a speaker and knobs to adjust the crossfader calibration.

And best of all, its $249.

Its more a budget way to get into turntablism, or using the turntable as an instrument.

You might have some trouble with 12-inch records, though, as this is designed for seven inches.

This is the kind of freedom that musicians dig.

you’re able to just pick them up and play.

you could buy drum machines, samplers, sequencers, little battery-powered synth-n-sampling workstations, and everything in between.

Portable turntables are just another way to create wherever you are.

Options

The STX is not the only portable turntable.

And there’s theNumark PT01 Scratch, which is quite a bit cheaper ataround $170.

But the STX seems to be a great balance of features and price.

With somebody else’s vinyl, though.
