A nested platter design made of military specification magnesium, weighing approximately 30 kilograms (66 pounds).
A chassis composed of magnesium alloy, custom-matched to the bearing assembly and heavily dampened to reduce unwanted vibrations.
A highly sophisticated DSP-controlled optical monitoring system to maintain accurate speed and ensure smooth motor drive belt action.
