Driven by the Technics Legacy

For decades, Technics’ direct drive has delivered accurate, maintenance-free rotation. This mechanism, which directly spins the platter with strong torque, has evolved to offer even greater precision with a coreless motor that eliminates cogging.

Engineered Precision

Tonearm

While minimising the tonearm base size, the design inherits the traditional S-shape and ensures high tracking performance via micron-level precision engineering.

Cartridge

The included Audio-Technica AT-VM95C cartridge features a conical stylus that delivers clear sound. With the built-in phono EQ, it ensures optimal performance.

Platter

Rigid rotation and precise torque control are achieved by a 1.26kg die-cast aluminium platter with reinforced ribs and a directly mounted motor magnet.

Insulator

Excellent vibration resistance and reduced howling are achieved by newly tuned insulators. It’s rubber hardness is optimised to shift resonance outside the audible range.

Intelligence Behind the Spin

Digital Control

Digital control elevates rotation accuracy to the highest level through (1)precise speed detection, (2)Per-unit calibration during production, and (3)digitally optimised motor drive signals.

Circuit Layout

Separate PCBs for power, motor control, and phono EQ are placed away from the tonearm with crossover-free wiring. This minimises distortion of sound.

PHONO Circuit

The built-in MM phono equaliser, optimally tuned to the included cartridge, along with the premium components and case, delivers clear sound with minimal noise.
