Key Features & Specs
-
Fully Automatic Operation: Pressing the Start button automatically moves the tonearm, cues it over the lead-in groove, and lowers the stylus. At the end of the record, the arm lifts, returns to its rest, and shuts off the platter. (Manual cueing via the tonearm lever is also supported if you want to skip tracks).
- Built-in Switchable Phono Preamp: Features an integrated phono stage, allowing you to connect directly to active/powered speakers or standard line inputs (AUX, Tape) on modern receivers. If you have a higher-end external preamp or receiver with a dedicated PHONO input, you can toggle the internal preamp off.
- Pre-installed Cartridge: Ships with a factory-aligned Audio-Technica AT91 moving magnet (MM) cartridge.
- Drive & Motor: Belt-driven system with electronic speed switching between 33⅓ and 45 RPM.
- Platter & Build: Die-cast aluminum platter with a 2.5 mm heavy rubber dampening mat to reduce unwanted resonance. The plinth is constructed from dense MDF and plastic, supported by vibration-absorbing elastomer feet.
- Total Weight: ~5.0 kg (~11 lbs).
