PRECISION PERFORMANCE

4-POLE SYNCHHONOUS MOTOR

The heavy. high-Inertia platter ot the FR~4060
is belt-driven from a 4-pole synchronous motor
WlIh large drive torque Precisron speed con-
trol Is assured by matching motor rotation with
line frequency. thus av0iding incorrect speeds
due to changes In supply voltages The motor
and Its mounting unit are destgned for minimum
Vibration and wow-flutter and low power con-
sumption Heat. motor hurn and other adverse
conditions are avoided

PRECISION FINISHED POLYURETHANE
DRIVE BELT

The belt-drive system. proven to be Ideal for
reducing motor vibration and wow-flutter levels.
employs a super tine polyurethane belt of high
dimensional accuracy, uniform thickness [0.5
mml and excellent aging characteristics.

300M DIECAST ALUMINUM ALLOY PLATTER

Any belt-drive system works best With a heavy.
high inertia platter. such as the 1 7kg (3 8 lbs.)
diecast aluminum alloy platter in the FR-4060
It eliminates low Ireouency Vibration through
strictly controlled balancmg

SUPER-PRECISION CENTER SPINDLE AND
BEARINGS

The bullet-shaped tip of the center spindle
provides maxtmum safety when handling re-
cords ot varying center hole diameters Preci-
sion machined tor accuracy, first by centerless
polishlng then by roller finishing, the rigid spin-
dle made ot high-grade 1&8 stainless-steel op-
erates within an aluminum bearing casmg.
Thrust bearing is a combination ball bearing
and selflubncating. wear-proof tluorrc resm.
The turntables high Signal-to-noise ratio (higher
than 50dB) is assured by the special lithium-
based heavy duty lubricant sealed into the bear-
ing housing.

IDEAL TRIPLE INSULATION

To protect the turntable from howling and any
vibration, however small. which may affect its
tonal quality in operation. the entire motor board

The motor itselt is also floated trom the motor
board with special insulators of synthetic rubber

NEW, LIGHT STYLUS-PRESSURE MM CART-
RIDGE SV-27

The three most important factors for proViding
optimum tonal quality In a turntable are its fre-
quency response transient response and dis-
tortion characteristics The FR-4060 provrdes
excellent results in all three areas through the
use of a new, super light stereo cartridge spe-

cial S-shaped tonearm and other quality details-\

The Sansur SV-27 cartridge has been deve
oped from extenswe and comprehenswe re
search It provides uncolored. Wide dispersion
of source images over an extended frequency
range Remarkable improvements of rigidity
and reduction of mass are achieved by the SV-

27s dual pipe cantilever of titanium alloy an

through the unique method of supporting the
cantilever to provide stylus motion. The ex-
tended frequency response of the cartridge (10
to 23.000Hz) assures correct reproduction of
all sounds. well beyond the audible ranges for
