Overview

The Serato 12-inch Performance Series Control Vinyl Pair in Purple is purpose-built for DJs who use Serato's Digital Vinyl System to manipulate digital music files with real turntables. Each record is pressed with Serato's re-mastered NoiseMap Control Tone version 2.5, which is 6dB louder than earlier generations. This increased signal strength translates directly into tighter tracking accuracy, meaning the software responds more faithfully to scratches, spinbacks, and subtle platter movements. The stronger tone also means the records remain functional longer as grooves wear, since the signal stays above the readable threshold even as the vinyl ages.

Manufactured in the USA, these pressings maintain consistent quality that DJs depend on during live performances. The purple colorway gives them a distinctive look on the platter, making them easy to spot in a crate and adding a visual element to sets. Sold as a pair, they are ready for a standard two-turntable setup right out of the box. They are designed exclusively for use with Serato DJ Pro and Serato Scratch Live, requiring a compatible DVS audio interface and turntable setup to function.
