Emphasis on extremely accurate platter speed and longelife
reliability is a Sansui hallmark in all our turntables; Sansui uses
much the same high-technology drive designs in all models.
whatever the price. in the case of the FR-DS with automatic
return/shutoff the drive is direct, offering a phenomenally low
wow/flutter of only 0.028% (WRMS) and a very high signal-to
noise ratio of 72dB. For convenience, we've gone beyond the
basics to create a tonearm return system that causes absolutely
no drag on the tonearm during play.

Forgood looks. the Sansui designers have retained
the slim profile and uncluttered lines you'll find in turntables cost»
ing much, much more. Hear the FR-D3 in action at any audio
showroom offering the best from Sansui, where its all hi-ti.

. High-Torque SaturabIe-Core

, Motor: The specs are spectacular.
Sansui patents are now pending on
this unique and highly effective motor.
It is basically a socalled brushiess
de5ign, eliminating physical switching to offer virtually noiseless
operation at all times.

We use the timeetested pole/slot technique. But
with more poles (20) and slots (30) than usual. This provides
higher torque generation, smoother rotation and higher speed
accuracy. As mentioned, the specifications achieved are spec?
tacular: 0.028% (or less) wow and flutter (WRMS) and an excel,
lent 72dB signal-to-n0ise ratio.

Material/Matching: Patience
equals precision when it comes
to making the motor.

Super hard carbon chrome steel is
~ 3% used for the motor shaft in the Sansui
FR-D3. This high»quality material- one of the hardest known to

Smooth & Automatic:
Tonearm return system is

a convenience you cant refuse.

Sansui has perfected a tonearm return system

that does not rely on crude mechanical linkages: the tonearm

is entirely free to track the record during play and its sensitivity

is never compromised.

Simply set your record on the platter, cue the
tonearm over the selected band and operate the Cue lever; tone,
arm descends and play begins. When the leadaout groove is
reached and the tonearm begins to accelerate, the auto return
system is triggered, the tonearm is lifted and returned gently to
its rest, and power is automatically shut off. You never need
touch the tonearm.
