Commentary
A record player with all-around detection F. G servo.
It uses the acoustic material TNRC (Technics Non-Resonance Compound) developed by Technics. It blocks and absorbs vibrations from the outside with excellent vibration isolation and damping characteristics.
An all-around detection F. G servo is used to detect the rotational speed of the motor, and the detection is performed all around the rotating shaft to obtain a high-precision detection signal.
An electronic control system is used to change the rotational speed, and unlike conventional pulleys and change-over sleeve systems, wear and deformation of the belt are minimized.
It adopts a front operation method in which all control switches are put together on the front panel, and queuing can be performed with the dust cover closed.
The tone arm uses a gimbal suspension system in which the axes of the horizontal and vertical rotation axes intersect at a point, and the initial motion sensitivity is 7 mg high for both horizontal and vertical motion.
MM type cartridge is included.
