Features
Coreless direct drive motor for
smooth and accurate rotation
z The new coreless direct drive motor can
reduce minute vibration during rotation by
ensuring strong torque to drive the grand
class turntable.
z The high-precision motor control technology
changes the drive mode according to the
motor operation status to achieve high
rotation accuracy.
Three-layer turntable for stable
rotation
z The three-layer turntable structure is
consisting of brass, aluminum die-cast and
deadening rubber that is against unwanted
resonance and attached to the bottom
surface.
z Dense tungsten weights are located on the
outer periphery of the brass part to deliver
large inertial mass.
High-sensitivity tone arm for
accurate reading of record grooves
z A lightweight, high damping magnesium tone
arm pipe has been adopted.
z The tone arm base is tightly integrated with
the turntable to minimize vibration of the
turntable base.

Thorough anti-vibration design
with the five-layer cabinet and
insulator
z The high-rigidity five-layer cabinet is
composed of different types materials such
as aluminum, aluminum die-cast and BMC.
z Silicon rubber with high damping
characteristics and excellent long-term
reliability is used in the insulator to shut out
external vibration.
Seeking for ideal sound with
excellent system scalability
z When combined with a separately sold
tone arm base ( 32), in addition to the
standard tone arm, maximum three short
or long tone arms in total (regardless of the
manufacturer), including the standard tone
arm.
Special control unit that can
eliminate unwanted noise
interference with the main unit
z The power circuit and control circuit are
separated to minimize unwanted external
noise interference with the main unit and
stored in a single control unit.
z The new switching power supply with a
noise-reduction circuit has been developed to
reduce noise in voltage supply.
