Three key aspects were considered in the development of this direct drive system: precise rotation, high sensitivity, and isolation from harmful vibrations. The drive uses a DC Hall motor with a starting torque of 1 kg-cm. The newly developed FG servo circuit (frequency control) improves accuracy and responsiveness, enabling rapid adaptation to dynamic load fluctuations.
The turntable is made of a balanced, 30 cm die-cast aluminum plate. It has a high outer thickness to achieve optimal inertial mass.
Power is supplied via a constant-voltage feedback circuit that maintains a voltage of 24 V even at an output current of 800 mA.
The tonearm consists of an S-shaped aluminum tubular arm. The arm tube is filled with a special filler material to prevent sound degradation caused by tube resonance. To achieve high sensitivity, the gimbal support system features a dual structure for the vertical and horizontal movement of the rotation axis, which is precisely held by a pivot point. The pivot point is made of high-hardness, smooth-surfaced chrome-molybdenum steel with a fully polished surface. This ensures high holding precision and improved durability. This results in high sensitivity in both horizontal and vertical directions. The internal force balance features a counterweight system that allows for fine adjustment depending on the needle pressure. The cueing lever is equipped with an oil drain system. The wiring material is made of extremely thin and flexible special cables to ensure the arm's high sensitivity.
A 6 mm travel height adjustment mechanism with an elevation ring and rotating arm is suitable for most commercially available cartridge systems. This mechanism is firmly locked, so that after adjustment, the tonearm is fixed on a level surface rather than at a point. This ensures a vibration-resistant structure.
The housing is made of high-density laminated softwood particle board. The tonearm stand and tonearm base are made of 1 kg die-cast zinc and are firmly attached to the tonearm base. The insulator is made of a double-textured material.
