Harman Kardon T40 Owners Manual - Page 3

Features • Low-Mass Straight Tonearm This highly sensitive tonearm ensures perfect tracking by even the highest of high compliance car:ridges. • An Offset Angle of 25.5 Degrees In order to reduce tracking error to the minimum, we have adopted the Harman Kardon headshel l with its uniquely designed offset angle. • Capacitance Trim A selector has been provided so that the load impedance can cc adjusted to ensure the optimum cartridge performance. • Uses Miniature DC Servomotor with FrequencyGenerator Servocontrol Speed control is available at both 33 and 45 rpm, and the adoption of belt drive ensures high signal-to-noise ratio and extremely smooth rotation. Components Platter Platter mat Center spindle • Auto-lift Function At the end of the disc, the tonearm lifts up automatically, a convenient function that avoid the disadvantages of extra load on the cartridge. This ensures that the highly sensitive arm can always deliver its maximum performance. Full manual operation is also possible under switched control. • Platter Mat and Disc Stabilizer The use of a special grade of rubber absorbs vibrations from the platter that would otherwise be transmitted to the stylus tip. Used in conjunction with a stabilizer, the disc is firmly gripped, the howl ing margin is increased, and the evenness of the speed of rotation is improved. This also enables the stylus tip to trace accurately the groove on the disc. • Cabinet and High Absorptive Feet Against Howl ing High density chipboard with outstanding acoustic properties is used for the cabinet. Feet that support the turntable are designed to absorb vibrations so that howling will be reduced.
