Commentary
A direct drive automatic player with a quartz phase locked control.
The cabinet is made of precision aluminum die-cast, and TNRC is used for the bottom base.
In addition, a double anti-vibration structure (double opposed suspension) is adopted, making the structure strong against external vibration and excellent acoustic characteristics.
Quartz phase-locked control is used to control the rotation of the turntable with quartz accuracy.
A highly reliable all-round detection FG is used for rotational speed detection, and combined with an integrated D. D. structure and a two phase full-wave drive planar opposed slotless DC motor, excellent rotational performance is achieved.
The tone arm uses a gimbal suspension system with a 4-point support structure using a pivot and ball bearing.
This system has a structure in which the axes of the horizontal and vertical rotation axes intersect at one point, and has obtained a high initial motion sensitivity of 7 mg.
The cartridge is a MM type cartridge that uses an all-laminate core for the magnetic circuit.
Equipped with an auto mechanism capable of auto return and auto stop.
It is equipped with an electronic control and soft touch switch, and uses a front operation system including a slide-type queuing lever that can be operated in both directions.
Equipped with a single-row strobe and prism strobe illuminator.
Equipped with needle pressure adjustment and anti-skating mechanism that can be finely adjusted at 0.1g intervals.
