PL-115D 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 poly-
urethane belt. High performance is exemplified by the 0.07%
(WRMS) wow and flutter, and SOdB (5) signal to noise ratio.

Speed Detector Type Auto Return Mechaan

Faulty auto return is avoided by employing a speed detector
system in the mechanism to assure perfect operation at the end of
the record. By pressing the RETURN button the auto return
machanism can also be used to interrupt a record during play, at
which time the tonearm is raised and returned to the arm rest
without risk of damage to the record.

High Sensitivity S-shaped Tonearm

The tonearm gimbal incorporates high 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 com-
pliance cartridges and light tracking forces, and the direct readout
of the tracking force is especially convenient when replacing the
cartridge.

Sophisticated Cabinet Styling

The baseplate is made from mineral solid, a new high density
material which combines excellent acoustic absorption 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-l 1 SD.

Numerous Additional Features

A host of additional features enhance the convenience and
performance of the PL-llSD. Among these are a lightweight, high
rigidity aluminum headshell. low capacitance output cord, and
an oilsdamped 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 double suspension design.
