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 for Precision
Tonearm
While minimizing the tonearm base size, the design inherits the traditional S-shape and ensures high tracking performance via micron-level precision engineering.
Cartridge
The included 2M Red cartridge features a elliptical stylus that delivers clear sound, precisely matched with the built-in phono EQ for optimal performance.
Platter
Rigid rotation and precise torque control are achieved by a 1.26kg die-cast aluminum 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 optimized to shift resonance outside the audible range.
