PL-112D FEATURES

Precision Belt Drive with 4-pole Synchronous
Motor

Stable rotation of the 30cm diecast aluminum alloy
platter is maintained by the carefully engineered 4-pole
synchronous motor and belt drive system. The smooth
running of the motor is unaffected by fluctuations in line
voltage and load. while even the slightest vibrations from
the motor are absorbed by the polyurethane belt. Hi9!
performance is exemplified by the 0.07% (WRMS) wow
and flutter, and 63dB (DIN B) signal to noise ratio.

High Sensitivity S-shaped Tonearm

The tonearm gimbal incorporates hiyi precision angular
contact bearings, whose low vibration and friction ensure
high sensitivity together with long term reliability. Anti-
skating and lateral balance controls are included for
optimum performance with high compliance cartridges and
light tracking forces, and the direct readout of the tracking
force is especially convenient when replacing the cartridge.

Numerous Additional Features

A host of additional features enhance the convenience
and performance of the PL-lIZD. Among these are
a lightweight, high rigidity aluminum headshell, low ca-
pacitance output cord, free stop dust cover hinges that
allow easy installation and removal, and an oil-damped
tonearm elevation mechanism to protect valuable records
and stylus. The interior of the cabinet is lined with
aluminum foil to screen out external electrical noise
which is often picked up from other household appliances,
while motor and external vibrations are also isolated by
the vibration-absorbing spring suspension design.

Sophisticated Cabinet Styling

The baseplate is made from mineral solid, at new high
density material which combines excellent acoustic ab-
sorption properties to prevent resonance with high strength
and attractive finish. In addition the elegant wood grain
finish of the cabinet ideally matches the high quality
engineering of the PL] IZD.
