record your scratches and cuts in
MP3 format – or just convert your old
vinyl collection to iTunes – and the
built-in Bluetooth technology allows
you to listen to your favourite tracks
from your preferred online streaming
service via your iPhone. Oh, didn’t
we mention that the SPIN comes
with a built-in speaker? Okay, it’s
not a quality speaker worth shouting
about, but the fact that it’s there means
that this can operate as a truly
portable, all-in-one device.
We do recommend

connecting it to something beefier

though, such as Reloop’s own Groove

Blaster speaker, reviewed overleaf.

You have a choice for how you

power the SPIN. It comes with a mains

adaptor, microUSB port to connect to

a portable charger, or there is the good

old-fashioned battery compartment.

Perfect for amateur DJs, the pitch has

a range of +/- 20 per cent for precise

setting and the tone control can be

used to adapt the sound of the lows

to suit. The two separate headphone

connections (with individual volume

controls) also make it easy to listen

and monitor. You can have fun cutting

your DJ teeth straight from the box

because the SPIN even comes with

a 7-inch record of professionally

recorded samples for you to slap

on and start scratching with.

If you’re in the market for a

turntable that you can connect to

your Mac and digitise your vinyl

with then this is perfect. But it is all

of the extra functionality that it offers

in addition that makes it irresistible,

such as the Bluetooth connectivity, the

crossfader with smooth, two-rail glide

technology, multiple headphone inputs

and the precise way you can sculpt the

sound via the pitch and tone controls.

And you don’t even have to make room

for it in your home because it neatly

folds up when not in use. Love it.
