At NAMM 2026, Reloop announced its latest DJ-focused turntable, RP-5000 MK4, with a new brushless motor and an array of club-ready features.
Reloop has officially launched the RP-5000 MK4, clearly aimed at performers who want modern reliability with that classic touch. It is the newest version of its popular turntable series with more features, including the advanced brushless DC motor, pushing 2.5/cm torque. In simple terms, that means faster start-up, stronger pull, and a more confident feel when you’re cueing, nudging or scratching.
Reloop has also worked on the physical build. The MK4 comes with a revised chassis design and improved damping, plus upgraded feet to reduce vibrations. That’s one of the most practical upgrades in DJing. The main idea behind this is to keep the turntable lock in, even when the room isn’t.
On the control side, the RP-5000 MK4 covers a wide range of mixing styles. You can explore 33⅓, 45, and 78 RPM, so it’s flexible enough for normal DJ sets. Pitch range includes ±8% and ±16%, plus an extreme ±50% ultra pitch mode for creative blends and quick tempo jumps. There’s also a reverse function, which scratch DJs and open-format performers will definitely enjoy.
Reloop didn’t ignore the small things; for example, the MK4 uses a recessed rear connection panel to make cable management cleaner, especially in tight spaces. There’s also a gold-plated phono output and an IEC connector with a detachable power cable, which is better for a long term reliability and easier transport.
As for pricing, the RP-5000 MK4 is available for stores like Thomann for $444, putting it in that sweet spot for DJs who want a serious direct drive deck without going fully into a premium territory.
Overall, the RP-5000 MK4 feels like a smart upgrade that doesn’t try too hard. Rather than flashy promises, it focuses on the build quality as well as performance. If you’re looking for a direct-drive club-ready turntable with mixing first technology and without drama, this is clearly made for that job.
