Key Specifications & Features

  • Quartz-Stabilized Direct Drive: Uses a coreless direct-drive motor that eliminates motor cogging and vibration, delivering precise pitch control and low wow & flutter

  • 3-Speed Support: Electronic speed control toggles between 33⅓, 45, and 78 RPM.
  • Pre-Mounted Ortofon 2M Blue: Comes pre-installed with a high-performance moving magnet (MM) cartridge featuring a nude elliptical stylus.
  • Twin-Gimbal Aluminum Tonearm: Features a 4-point pivot ball-bearing design for smooth, precise groove tracking. It includes a removable headshell, making cartridge swaps straightforward.
  • Switchable Semi-Automatic Function: An auto-stop feature raises the tonearm and stops the motor at the end of a record side to protect the stylus. This function can be turned off if you prefer standard manual operation.
  • Built-In Switchable Phono Stage: Allows direct connection to powered speakers or standard line inputs, but can be bypassed if you use an external phono preamp.
  • Plinth & Build: Built on a solid MDF plinth with elastomer-damped vibration isolation feet and a 1.45 kg die-cast aluminum platter with a thick rubber mat.
