In an Instagram post by Joe Hahn, he is seen using a Pioneer DJ DJM-S11 mixer positioned between the turntables, specifically for scratching. The post captures the energy of a live performance in Seoul, where the crowd's singing was so loud that it almost overpowered his own audio on stage.
In an interview with DJ Life Magazine, Joe Hahn confirmed using the Pioneer PLX-CRSS12 Hybrid Direct Drive Turntable with DVS Control, stating, "Along with the Pioneer DJ DJM-S11 mixer, I’m still using turntables… now I’m using the Pioneer DJ PLX-CRSS12s, but no needle on the actual record. The platters are moving with a real motor and I’m able to manipulate with that because it’s going directly to Serato and I don’t have to deal with noise entering the needle for skipping."
