Final Thoughts

After living with Scratch Toys Sound Plate for about a week now, I’ve started to figure out what it’s really great at as well as some things that you might want to know if you get one of your own.

First, and most important, I need to say how happy I am with the mod. It really has gotten me excited to keep working on my PT01, not to mention use it more. The installation was fairly easy, and a great first mod for me. Sound quality is excellent, Bluetooth works exactly as it should when pairing with my phone, and music begins playing as soon as you turn on the deck. The FM tuner is fun to mess around with too!

A few minor gripes I’ve developed are there as well. Be careful inserting your SD card as it is very easy to drop it into a small gap around the card reader in the 3D printed plate. It’s a huge pain to dig it out. There also is a firmware update that I tried to install, but couldn’t get to work. Perhaps mine is already the newest version from the factory, but I will keep trying. The update supposedly removes interruptions from hands-free calling as well as voice prompts. This has not been an issue for me yet though, since I just set up a MicroSD with a folder of beats and haven’t touched it since. Finally, the remote is just another thing to have to keep track of around the house, so I will have to figure out some sort of stash spot in the PT01 case.

If you would like to see the Sound Plate in action I highly recommend DJCity’s overview video. It’s what got me interested in the mod in the first place! I’m feeling confident after my first successful mod, we’ll see how long that lasts. Thanks for reading.

I won’t be including shipping in my cost calculations, and I will try to keep it a round number!

Mod Cost: $70.00

Total Cost: $200.00
