FEATURES ■ Low Mass Straight Tonearm An effective mass of 11 grams assures excellent tracking with a wide range of medium to high compliance cartridges. ■ Frequency Generator Servo-controlled Motor A precision DC servo motor maintains correct speed by supplying the control circuit with a feedback correction signal . This minimizes speed drift caused by lime, temperature and other external factors. ■ Optimum Tracking Geometry The effective tonearm length, stylus overhang and offset angle have been precisely determined. to provide the lowest possible harmonic distortion over the total playing area. ■ Low Resonance Base High density particle board with excellent vibration absorption capabil ities is used in the base.
