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.
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.
Compatibility with SP-10MK2 and
SP-10MK3
z
The player preserves the bottom shape and
screw locations of SP-10MK2 and SP-10MK3
so that you can continue to use your cabinet
and tone arm.
