Commentary
A quartz synthesizer, direct drive and full automatic player with 199 point quartz pitch control.
It can be finely adjusted in increments of 0.1% up to ± 9.9%, and adopts a quartz synthesizer system that locks all 199 pitches.
The amount of fine adjustment is digitally displayed on the LED display.
By condensing electronic circuits with more than 300 elements into four ICs, a high precision of ± 0.002% rotational speed deviation has been achieved.
Uses a double insulator mechanism that is resistant to howling.
The arm, turntable and motor are mounted on a main base floating from the cabinet with an insulator made of an appropriate viscoelastic material and metal springs, and the cabinet is also supported with an insulator with excellent vibration isolation characteristics to reduce the influence of external vibration.
The tone arm uses a gimbal suspension system in which the axes of the horizontal and vertical rotating parts intersect at one point, achieving an initial motion sensitivity of 7 mg.
Equipped with a 6 mm range arm height adjustment mechanism in order to use the cartridge in severe situations.
Uses die-cast shell with anti-vibration design.
Comes with a convenient cursor for adjusting the overhang.
Equipped with electronic brake mechanism.
Uses a front-operated control switch.
The muting switch built-in queuing suppresses unpleasant sound at the start and end of performance.
