Features
The coreless direct drive eliminates
cogging and achieves smooth
rotation
z The twin-rotor construction reduces 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.
This technology combines high torque with
high stability.
The tone arm with high-precision
bearings achieves high initial-
motion sensitivity
z The tone arm pipe employs magnesium
which provides high rigidity.
z The use of traditional Technics gimbal
suspension construction and high-precision
bearings attains high initial-motion sensitivity.
Three-layered turntable that
delivers smooth rotational stability
z The turntable has a three-layered construction
with a rigidly combined brass and aluminium
diecast platter, and a rubber covering its rear
surface to eliminate unnecessary resonance.
With this construction, high rigidity and
vibration damping are achieved.
z The use of a heavyweight-class turntable that
generates a large inertial mass.
It delivers smooth rotational stability.

Four-layered cabinet construction
and insulators based on thorough
anti-vibration design
z The top panel of immaculate aluminum has
been added to the three-layered construction
of aluminum diecast, BMC, and heavyweight-
class rubber. This four-layered construction
combines high rigidity with a high quality
finish and feel.
z The insulators employ special silicon rubber
to ensure high vibration damping and long-
term reliability. They completely dampen
external vibration and suppress howling
noise.
High-quality terminals
z The use of brass-milled and gold-plated
terminals prevents degradation in sound
quality.
z Inside the case, the metal shielding
construction is used to diminish the effects of
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.
