Overview

The Serato 12" Performance Series Control Vinyl in green is an essential component for DJs running a Digital Vinyl System (DVS) setup with Serato DJ Pro or Serato Scratch Live. Each pair of records is pressed with Serato's version 2.5 control tone, a proprietary signal that your DVS hardware interface reads and translates into precise control over digital audio files. This means you get the tactile feel of real vinyl—scratching, back-cueing, spinbacks, and pitch manipulation—while playing tracks from your digital library. The 2.5 tone revision offers improved needle tracking sensitivity and reduced susceptibility to skips, giving turntablists and mix DJs more reliable performance during demanding sets.

Manufactured in the USA, these records are built to handle the physical demands of performance DJing. The green color is more than aesthetic—it provides quick visual identification on the platter and in your record bag, which matters during fast-paced live sets. As with all control vinyl, the grooves will gradually wear from repeated use, particularly from aggressive scratching, and tracking accuracy will degrade over time, signaling when it is time to replace the pair. For DJs committed to the vinyl workflow within the Serato ecosystem, these control records deliver the responsiveness and feel that define the DVS experience.

Frequently Asked Questions

These control records require either Serato DJ Pro or Serato Scratch Live software running with a compatible DVS-enabled hardware interface to translate the control tone into digital audio playback.
Yes, the Serato control vinyl is a standard 12-inch record that works on any turntable with a standard tonearm and cartridge setup. The turntable itself does not need any special features.
Version 2.5 is Serato's updated control tone signal pressed into the vinyl, which provides improved tracking accuracy, reduced needle skip sensitivity, and better responsiveness compared to earlier versions.
No. These records contain only a control tone signal, not music. The signal is read by Serato software through a DVS interface to control digital audio files. Without the software running, you will only hear the control tone.
Serato control vinyl is manufactured to withstand the heavy wear of scratching and back-cueing. However, like all vinyl, the grooves will eventually degrade with extended use, and replacements will be needed to maintain tracking accuracy.
