Do you have a question about the Reloop RP 4000 MK2 and is the answer not in the manual?

The Reloop RP4000MK2 is a professional high torque turntable system designed for DJs and audio enthusiasts. This device is a direct drive turntable, offering stable and precise rotation for an optimal listening and mixing experience.

Function Description

The RP4000MK2 is primarily used for playing vinyl records at various speeds. It features a high-torque direct drive motor, which ensures quick start-up and stable platter rotation, crucial for DJing applications like scratching and beatmatching. The turntable includes a pitch control slider, allowing users to adjust the playback speed by +/- 8% or +/- 16%, providing flexibility for mixing and creative manipulation of audio. A quartz lock function ensures that the platter maintains a precise, consistent speed when engaged, regardless of the pitch control setting.

The device is equipped with a static-balanced S-shaped tonearm with hydraulic damping and an anti-skating mechanism. This design minimizes tracking errors and ensures stable contact between the stylus and the record groove, resulting in clear audio reproduction and reduced record wear. The tonearm also features a universal headshell mount, allowing users to easily interchange cartridges and styli to suit their preferences. A stylus illumination lamp is integrated to provide visibility of the stylus and record groove in low-light environments, which is particularly useful for DJs in clubs or dimly lit settings.

The RP4000MK2 supports three playback speeds: 33 1/3, 45, and 78 RPM. The 78 RPM speed is accessible via a combination of the 33/45 selector and the quartz lock button, enabling playback of older shellac records. The turntable platter is made of aluminum, providing a stable and resonant-free surface for records. The device also includes a start/stop button with an adjustable start/stop time, allowing DJs to customize the platter's acceleration and deceleration for creative effects.

Usage Features

The RP4000MK2 is designed for ease of use and versatility.

Setup: The turntable requires initial assembly, including mounting the platter, hub, tonearm counterweight, and anti-skating weight. The pick-up system (cartridge and headshell) needs to be installed and aligned, with careful attention to wiring and tracking force adjustment. The balancing weight scale on the tonearm should be set to "0" after balancing the tonearm, and then adjusted to the recommended tracking force for the cartridge.
Speed Selection: Users can switch between 33 1/3 and 45 RPM using the dedicated selector buttons. To activate 78 RPM, both the 33/45 selectors must be pressed simultaneously, followed by the quartz lock button.
Pitch Control: The pitch fader allows for fine-tuning of the playback speed. The quartz lock button can be engaged to disable pitch control and maintain a precise, crystal-controlled speed.
Start/Stop Function: The start/stop button initiates or halts platter rotation. The adjustable start/stop time feature allows for customized acceleration and deceleration, adding a creative element to performances.
Stylus Illumination: The integrated stylus illumination lamp provides clear visibility of the stylus and record groove, which is particularly beneficial in dark environments.
Connectivity: The turntable connects to an audio mixer or amplifier via RCA output cables. A ground cable is also provided to eliminate hum and ensure clean audio. The device is powered by a standard AC power cable.
Voltage Selector: For models sold in the EU and US, a voltage selector allows switching between 115V and 230V, ensuring compatibility with different regional power standards. This selector is typically located on the rear panel.

Maintenance Features

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of the RP4000MK2.

Cleaning: The device should be regularly cleaned to prevent dust and dirt accumulation. The platter and tonearm should be wiped with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the surface. The stylus should be cleaned gently with a soft brush or a dedicated stylus cleaning solution to remove dust and debris from the tip.
Storage: When not in use, the turntable should be covered to protect it from dust. If storing for an extended period, it is advisable to disconnect the power cable and store the device in a dry, temperate environment.
Stylus and Cartridge Replacement: The stylus is a consumable part and should be replaced periodically, depending on usage, to maintain sound quality and prevent record damage. The universal headshell mount makes cartridge and stylus replacement straightforward.
Troubleshooting: The manual provides guidance for common issues such as hum, no sound, or unstable platter rotation. For more complex problems, it is recommended to consult a qualified technician.
General Safety: Always ensure the device is disconnected from the power supply before performing any maintenance or cleaning. Avoid exposing the turntable to extreme temperatures, humidity, or direct sunlight. Do not operate the device with wet hands or in a wet environment.
