Brushless, Slotless DC Servo Motor

The servocontrolled direct drive brushless
DC motor with its gapless pole design is totally
free from cogging or pulsing that plagues many
other direct-drive turntables, ensuring superb
wow 8i flutter characteristics. The high-inertia
platter distributes its large mass evenly around
the countour.

Straight Tonearm

The straight, statically-balanced tonearm has
several important features. For example,the
vertical pivots extend through the arm rather
than simply suspending it from the outside.
This minimizes lateral play, and assures that
the stylus remains always perpendicular to the
disc. Also, the arm's nested double-tube con-
struction and internal damping deal most
effectively with resonance.

The headshell is integrated to the tonearm.
This system is much better than changing head-
shells, since it minimizes mass at the critical
point of the tonearm, removing possible poor
contact of the cartridge terminals.

Mirror Reflex Stroboscope

The unique strobosoope system of mirror-
reflection type is featured, which makes it easy
to adjust an accmate rotation speed.

Feather-Touch Operation

An electronic sensing system offers feather-
touch operation of the auto-start and cut-off
functions, giving no mechanical loads.

Platter Mat

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

This mat damps not only the disc but the
platter itself thanks to its high-density rubber
material, and it is exactly inlaid to the platter.
Its specially treated surface ensures superb con-
tact to the disc.

Dust Cover

An acrylic resin is used for the dust cover,
which pr0vides very smooth surface and excel-
lent result aganist acoustic feedback. Simi-free-
stop hinges make the entire dust cover.detach-
able.

Other Features

The power-on/off 8i speed selector, manual-
auto-repeat selector, and auto-start and cut-off
buttons are most logically placed in considera-
tion of human engineering. Also, all the neces-
sary functions are provided such as oildamped
cueing system, inside-force cancellor, etc.
