Features
The coreless direct drive eliminates
cogging and achieves smooth
rotation
z The newly developed coreless direct drive
motor can reduce minute vibration during
rotation while maintaining high torque.
z The high-precision motor control technology
switches the drive mode depending on the
operational status of the motor and thus
enables high torque and stability.
The tone arm with high-precision
bearings achieves high initial-
motion sensitivity
z The tone arm pipe is light, highly rigid
aluminum.
z The use of traditional Technics gimbal
suspension construction and high-precision
bearings attains high initial-motion sensitivity.
A turntable with high rigidity
and improved vibration damping
capacity
z Reinforcing ribs on the back side of the
aluminum die-cast platter and rubber coating
for removing unnecessary resonance can
deliver high rigidity and improved vibration
damping capacity.

Vibration-proof cabinet and
insulators
z The two-layered cabinet made of a
combination of BMC and aluminum die-cast
ensures high rigidity.
z Special silicon rubber insulators providing
excellent vibration damping capacity and
long-term reliability can shut out external
vibration and suppress howling noise.
High-quality terminals
z Gold-plated PHONO output terminals prevent
degradation in sound quality.
z The case has metal shielded interior to
protect from external noise.
Highly accurate turntable speed
maintained with the pitch control
z The digital control method is adopted to
achieve constant pitch control.
z The pitch variable range select button (×2) is
provided. The pitch control with the range up
to ±16 % is possible.
