The serial number for this
equipment
is
located on the rear. Please
write this
serial number on your enclosed warranty
card and keep
it in a
secure
area. This is
for your security.
Quartz PLL Brushless DC Hall Motor
This turntable's operation is based on
Quartz
PLL principles.
Under
this
system,
the waveform signals from ahigh- position
reference oscillator, which incorporates a quartz oscillator, are
compared with the output waveform signals of the frequency
generator built into the rotor of the motor, and the rotation speed
of Che motor is thus controlled. This system is free from both time
and temperature drift, and it has an excellent response to changing
load requirements. It
also ensures that the platter rotates ae a
precise speed.
Precision Parts for a Superb Rotation Performance
The precision - engineered center shaft and
bearings
(with
a
centricity
of
less
than
02µ) as well as
the high -
inertial -mass platter
combine with the Quartz PLL brushless DC Hall motor to yield a
speed deviation of
less
than
0.025% (WRMS)
and
asignal -to -noise
ratio
of better than 73dB (DIN
-B).
These are
specifications which
are every
bit
as good
as
those displayed by a professional -use
turntable.
Two -
motor, Full- automatic
Turntable
with Precision
Geared Motor Mechanisms
The lead -in and return of the tonearm are performed by a
special precision geared motor mechanism which does not affect
the speed of the platter at all. Furthermore, a speed detection -type
auto - return mechanism
controls
the tonearm for accurate and
stable operation
every
time
it is
returned to the
arm rest.
Specially Designed Cabinet to Enhance Sound Quality
and Reduce Occurrence of Howl
The cabinet features
newly
developed insulators,
which
the
talents
of rubber and
springs,
on the
40mm -thick
particle
board.
This
increases the internal
loss
and
makes for
superior
stability, thereby
preventing
howl
caused
by sound
pressure
from
arising and also
canceling
out vibrations from the floor. The
tonearm
is
mounted on a
stand
base which
employs alarge -mass
aluminum diecast material for improved sound
quality.
