Key Features
Drive Type: Direct drive, utilizing a quartz PLL Hall motor with three Hall elements for precise speed control and minimal vibrations.
Speeds: Operates at two speeds: 33 1/3 and 45 RPM, suitable for standard vinyl records.
Speed Control Range: Offers fine pitch adjustment of ±6% in both 33 and 45 RPM modes.
Platter: Made from a 320 mm aluminum alloy die-cast, providing stability and durability with an inertial mass of 350 kg·cm².
Tonearm: Supplied without a tonearm, allowing users to choose their preferred model. Recommended tonearms include the Pioneer Dynamic Absorber PA-5000 or SME Series III.
Motor Performance: The quartz PLL system ensures accurate speed control by comparing pulses from a power generator with those from a crystal oscillator.
