Commentary
A record player with a built-in FM transmitter.
Record signals picked up by the cartridge are put on FM stereo radio waves and transmitted from the antenna, and the dial of the stereo tuner or radio cassette is set to 78 MHz (± 1.5 MHz) so that you can enjoy record performance.
Quartz is used for the FM radio transmission part to achieve low distortion and excellent stereo separation.
It is portable with 6 single batteries (9 VDC). In addition, it can be used for a total of approximately 100 hours (in case of using 4 hours a day) by using FG servo DC motor with low power consumption.
In addition, it can also be used with an AC power source with a dedicated AC adapter.
The drive system is a belt drive system that uses Technics's original FG servo DC motor.
It uses a MM type cartridge equipped with a vibrator that connects a strong magnetic CKS magnet and an aluminum cantilever directly.
Line output terminal is also mounted.
Equipped with volume adjustment volume with mid-point clip stop.
Equipped with a pilot indicator.
* The distance where you can listen to the record beautifully is about several meters. Also, if interference occurs with radio waves from wireless microphones, etc., it is necessary to shift the oscillation frequency by turning the FM frequency adjustment screw located under the rubber sheet.
