Overview

The Pioneer DJ RB-VD2-K is a pair of 12-inch control vinyl records designed specifically for use with rekordbox DVS, Pioneer DJ's digital vinyl system. Each record contains a precision-pressed timecode signal that your turntable's cartridge reads and transmits to rekordbox through a DVS-compatible audio interface. This allows you to manipulate digital audio files with the same physical motions you would use on a traditional vinyl record—scratching, backspinning, cueing, and pitch adjustments all translate in real time with low latency. The result is a tactile, analog-style DJ experience with the flexibility and library access of digital music.

Pioneer DJ has focused on keeping the RB-VD2-K lightweight, which serves a dual purpose: it feels natural under the fingertips during scratching, and the reduced mass places less stress on your turntable's stylus over extended sessions. The pressing itself is durable enough for regular club, battle, and practice use, though like all control vinyl it will eventually wear and require replacement as timecode tracking accuracy diminishes. The records come in black and are sold as a pair, making them a practical, budget-friendly option for DJs who need to outfit or refresh a two-deck rekordbox DVS setup.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, you need the rekordbox DVS Plus Pack subscription or license to use these control vinyl records. The vinyl generates a timecode signal that rekordbox reads to control digital audio files.
The RB-VD2-K is sold as a pair, so you receive two 12-inch control vinyl records per purchase.
Yes, the control vinyl works on any standard 12-inch turntable with a compatible cartridge and stylus. It is the timecode signal—not the turntable brand—that communicates with rekordbox DVS.
Control vinyl does not contain music. Instead, it has a timecode signal pressed into the grooves. When played on a turntable connected to a DVS-compatible audio interface, rekordbox reads the timecode and maps your physical turntable movements—scratching, cueing, speed changes—to a digital audio file.
With normal DJ use, control vinyl gradually wears like any vinyl record. Tracking quality will degrade over time, especially with heavy scratching. Most working DJs replace their control vinyl periodically to maintain reliable timecode tracking.
