A new DD turntable from LUX at a modest price !!

A brushless & slotless DC servo motor and a straight, low-mass
.tonearm offer superb wow & flutter no more than 0.03% and

excellent signal-to-noise ratio at 60 dB.

Brushies 84 Slotlaaa Dc Servo Motor

Excellent wow & flutter characteristic together
with stable rotation are assured by adopting
a Brushless & Slotless DC Servo Motor in which
slots are completely removed to eliminate
unevenness of rotation caused by electro-
magnetics, and further a turntable platter of
high inertia makes it possible to distribute the
large mass of platter weight around the outer
contour.

Straight-Type Tonearm

A straight type tonearm is adopted to
eliminate resonance caused by lack of intensity
which tends to be found on the tonearm
exclusively designed for high compliance type
cartridge, and at the same time the root of the
tonearm is of double-pipe structure to
strengthen anti-resonance effect.

Further, the cartridge shell is integrated to
the tonearm, thus resonance is suppressed down
to the minimum. Also such problem as poor
contact of cartridge terminals is removed.

Acrylic Dust Cover

For the dust cover, an acrylic resin is
adopted which provides a very smooth surface
and excellent characteristic against acoustic.
feedback. The entire cover is detachable with
semi-free-stop hinges.

Ultra Thin Type OI Core Transformer

An ultra thin type 0| core transformer of
the least-leakage flux, is adopted which is
smoothly housed in the smart chassis. This
contributes to the realization of stable rotation
and excellent signal-to-noise ratio.

Platter Met

The platter mat is so designed as to realize
firm retention of the disc. To minimize un-
necessary space between disc and platter mat,
the plane is procured between the two
by making the contour of platter mat suitable
to that of disc.

Of course the platter mat not only damps
discs but the platter itself thanks to high density
rubber material, and further it is exactly inlaid
to the turntable platter. The surface with special
treatment ensures superb contact to discs.

Functions

A unique switch controls both power turn-
on and turn-off and speed selection through
the use of a single switch. A stroboscope of
mirror reflex type, oil damped cueing system,
anti-skating device etc are all ideally arranged
based upon human engineering considerations.
