SolDios Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 I just had a thought, do turntable needles pick up speaker vibrations?It would make sense, and also another good reason why clubs use CDJ's.Just curious is all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LabRat Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 They would but you'll hardly know. If you knock on the table they sit on you'll hear the knock come through the speakers but yeah. Nothing to worry about. Clubs use cdj's because that's the way the industry has changed. Not a lot of tunes are pressed to vinyl anymore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

imadje Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 absolutely Sol.In the old days as P.A. systems got bigger and bigger we used to get more and more rumble through the needle on vinyl.Sometimes it would be due to resonance of the desk or booth the decks were in itself, sometimes it would be as if the whole room was shaking. But yes the rumble would travel through the vinyl and then to the needle. Sometimes it would sound ok because it was rumbling at he same frequency as the music, sometimes it would sound rubbish and i have no idea why. The real problem was simply that it led to instability of the decks and so make them even harder to manipulate.In extreme cases if the speakers were pointing at the decks the needle would actually pick up direct soundwaves and cause feedback believe it or not.Remedies for the vibration included all kinds of foam feet, felt padding, concrete blocks etc etc... none of which helped the deck sit firmly normally.Remedies for the feedback were as simple a turning the speakers away, which is isn't as easy as it sounds when you're looking at a 6k stack.

Jaz Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 even if they do they are obviously designed with that in mind and if they arent cheap shit nothing will happen to them...if CDJ's can handle 20,000 watts in a club or 100,000 watts at a festival im sure they can handle your 800 watt speakers sol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

imadje Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 actually technics were not designed with modern P.A.s in mind.I dont know about the newer gen of vinyl decks but the original technics had heaps of issues. It was just the first solidly built deck to have reliable steady tempo so DJs jumped on it. Noone knew when they invented it how it would end up being used though.

eggssell Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 The st150s have stabilisers. Dont know what that means but i assume it reduces rumble Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
