Crystal Phase Locked Loop Direct Drive Turntable with
Load-Free Spindle Phono Motor !!

Page 2

The P0441 is a direct drive quartz-locked turntable. but its most
salient feature is its ability to remove all kinds of external load vibration
thanks to our exclusive "Load-Free Spindle" system.

Actually, the quartz-lock system is effective only in the suppression
of external disturbing load variations ranging from DC to II-Iz. but
cannot control those of relatively him Irequancies (5 - 10Hzl. To reduce
them. the llywheel elfect of the platter must be utilized. The heavier the
platter, the better.

But here arises the problem with respect to the life of the bearing
With the new Load-Free Spindle" system, the motor itself has the
repelling power to float the turntable platter, which makes it possible to
reduce the platters weight on the bearing to about 115 ol its actual value.

Additionally, the PD-441 is made extremely resistant to howling and
acoustic lead-back by means of insulators of a 2-stap brake system with
lowest resonant frequency. and our ultra heavy chassis of sandwich
structure made from 2 thick iron plate and a higioensity chip board.

No tonaarm is supplied with this unit, and for easy installation of your
favorite tonearm a sliding annobase is provided.

Other features are; a special platter mat to hold the disc lirmly, a dust

cover of thick acrylic plates, a semi-free-stop type hinge incorporated into
the slim chassis to provide a compact appearance. etc.
