Phase Essential – Digital Vinyl System Without Needles

Phase Essential replaces traditional needles and timecode vinyl with a wireless controller that locks onto the turntable spindle, giving DJs rock-solid DVS performance in clubs, studios, and on stage. Two Phase Remotes talk to a single receiver, so you get vibration-free tracking, zero dust issues, and the same tactile feel that made scratching a craft. Available at Soundium.

Key Features

• Needle-free DVS control: Mount the remote on the spindle and mix without cartridges, timecode records, or skip-induced panic
• Vibration-resistant tracking: Stays locked in loud clubs, on bass-heavy rigs, and during aggressive scratching
• Plug & play with major DJ software: Works out of the box with Serato DJ Pro, Traktor, Rekordbox, Virtual DJ, and djay
• Up to 10-hour battery life: Covers back-to-back sets and long studio sessions on a single charge
• Customizable LED strips: Visual feedback for beat-matching plus personal color styling
• Aluminum receiver: Compact, road-ready chassis with low-latency 2.4 GHz wireless link

Customer Benefits

Phase Essential cuts the running cost and maintenance of DVS to near zero — no more replacing needles, timecode vinyl, or tonearms. Setup is fast (stick the magnetic sticker to any record, drop the remote on it, plug the receiver into your mixer), and once it's running you can focus on the mix instead of babysitting the gear. It's a long-term investment that pays for itself the first time a needle would have skipped on a pivotal transition.
