Coreless Direct Drive for Stable Rotation

The coreless direct drive motor directly drives the platter, delivering high performance, accuracy, and powerful torque without needing part replacements. Improved magnetic force and an optimized gap between the stator and rotor eliminate cogging for smooth rotation, high torque, and accurate, faithful sound reproduction from records.

• Brushless DC direct drive motor
• 0.18 N·m / 1.8 kg·cm starting torque
• 0.7 seconds from standstill to 33-1/3 rpm
• 0.025% W.R.M.S. wow and flutter

Precision Tracking and Digital Pitch Control

A static-balance S-shape tonearm with high-precision bearings provides accurate groove tracking and minimal stylus jumping during scratching. Digital pitch control fine-tunes speed within ±8% or ±16%, using all-digital slider-to-motor control for stable, accurate tracking.

• 33-1/3, 45, and 78 rpm speeds
• ±8% and ±16% pitch adjustment ranges
• 230 mm effective tonearm length
• 0–6 mm arm-height adjustment range

Vibration-Reducing Platter, Cabinet, and Insulators

An aluminum die-cast platter with rib reinforcement and deadening rubber uses a two-layer structure to suppress unwanted resonance. The aluminum diecast, ABS, and glass fibre chassis has enhanced damping, while spring-and-rubber insulators block vibration at high volumes for clear audio and howling resistance.

• Aluminum die-cast platter with deadening rubber
• Robust two-layer cabinet structure
• Spring-and-rubber insulators
• Detachable power and phono terminals for maintenance and transport
• Gold-plated phono terminals resist corrosion and support easy cable upgrades
