SR-212
Commentary

An auto return player that emphasizes basic characteristics and has excellent operability.

Equipped with an auto mechanism, it starts playing just by setting the arm on the record and operating the control lever.
When the performance is finished, it automatically returns to the arm rest and the turntable stops.
Also, if you want to cut the performance in the middle, operate the control lever and the arm returns automatically and the turntable stops.

Equipped with lifter and lever functions, manual operation such as arm up in the middle of record playing or arm down from the desired position is possible.
The arm is gently lowered by the delayed type oil dump type arm lifter, and can be operated without damaging records or needle tips.

Turntable uses precision finish double rim type 30 cm aluminum alloy die-cast.
It can be driven by a special polyurethane belt that does not change with time.
The motor is strong against voltage and load fluctuations, and uses a 4-pole synchronous motor capable of constant speed rotation, and holds the wow and flutter low.

The arm uses a lightweight static balance S-shaped pipe arm with good sensitivity both horizontally and vertically.
For the S-shaped pipe arm, even if the counterweight is moved to adjust the needle pressure, the lateral balance does not collapse and no adjustment is necessary.
In addition, since the needle pressure is a direct reading type, accurate tracing is possible only by selecting an appropriate needle pressure.

Equipped with an inside force canceler, it keeps the balance of the needle tip of the cartridge and prevents the occurrence of deviation and distortion.
The SR-212 uses a small weight of thread to cancel out the inside force.

MM backlash is used for the cartridge.
In order to prevent poor contact, gold plating is applied to the shell and arm connection terminals.

Uses a low-capacity output code for the 4-ch era.

Uses an insulator made of special rubber to absorb external vibration.

Equipped with a removable fleece top dust cover.
