Belt drive player combined with outer rotor motor and high-sensitivity S-shaped tone arm.

The motor uses a 4-pole hysteresis synchronous outer rotor motor that reduces vibration and noise and enhances constant speed, torque and durability.
This reduces uneven rotation and achieves more accurate rotation.

The tone arm uses an S-shaped static balance pipe arm that was born from the reduction of effective mass and the adoption of a new support system.
This arm is equipped with an anti-skating mechanism for magnetic repulsion, a lateral balancer, and a lightweight head shell to achieve higher performance.

A low-capacity code is used for the output code to reduce attenuation in the ultra-high frequency range.

We have adopted a 30 cm diameter die-cast aluminum turntable that is strictly checked at every point. The high-precision finish of the shaft reduces the occurrence of rumble, wow and flutter.

Equipped with an insulator whose height can be adjusted by the body weight and integrated design.

Equipped with an overhang checker, an arm elevation mechanism linked with a start lever, and a safety device for belt protection that does not allow speed switching when the motor is stopped.
