Dual CS505-3

Commentary

Semi-automatic belt drive player equipped with technologies such as ULM tone arm and floating structure.

A belt drive system using 16-pole synchronous motor is adopted for the turntable part.

ULM (Ultra Light Mass) type tone arm is mounted on the tone arm part.
This arm has inherited the technology of a high-grade machine with a 4-point support gyro structure in the vertical, horizontal and vertical directions, and has succeeded in weight reduction by further simplifying the structure.
A dynamic balance type with spring tension is adopted for the needle pressure system, and the arm pipe and the balance weight are separated to prevent the coloring of sound caused by the resonance of the arm.

The cabinet structure consists of a tone arm, motor, and turntable mounted on a single rigid board, which is floated from the cabinet by means of a special spring that enhances vibration isolation.
With this structure, the mutual relationship between the turntable and the tone arm is kept uniform even when a large shock is applied, preventing howling and needle skipping.

Semi-automatic system is adopted for the operation part, and when record play is finished, the arm lifts up and the motor stops.
Moreover, when the turntable is stopped, the arm remains lifted up, so that even people who are not familiar with the operation do not have to worry about damaging the needle tip.

Pitch control of 12% is possible.
