Features
Coreless direct drive motor for high torque
and reliability

The newly developed coreless direct drive motor
can reduce minute vibration during rotation while
maintaining high torque.

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 digital control method improves tracking and
accuracy, allowing for accurate and stable pitch
control.
High-precision bearings for highly sensitive
tone arm

The machine-cut, high-precision bearing used in
the tone arm bearing with gimbal suspension
allows for improved tracking, making skating less
likely even during the most intense performances.
Vibration-cutting highly rigid cabinet and
high-damping insulator

This unit is designed to not only deliver high-quality
sound and high feedback resistance, but also to
efficiently cut off external vibration in very loud
environments.
Functions to deliver a wide range of
performances

Allows for torque and brake speed adjustment.

Allows for reverse playback.

Allows the user to select from two LED lamp
colours depending on user's preference or the
environment.
