QR Code Link to This Post
Consider the Sony Audio PS-X70 turntable. Think of it as a professional transcription turntable, for home use.
Think about two discrete servo-controlled motors. One for the platter, another for the tonearm.
And while you're thinking about Sony's hesitation-free BSL motor. No brushes. No slot. And absolutely no cogging. Just even, iniform rotation. Hour after hour. Year after year.
Our own quartz-locked magnedisc servo control system makes Sony direct-drive turntables immune to voltage fluctuations. It takes servo control to a new level of accuracy, by measuring turntable speed at the outer rim of the platter - not at the motor.
There's more you sholuld know; front-mounted feather-touch controls, electro-magnetic braking, special four-clamp head-shell connector, even resonance-free SBMC cabinet with flui-filled feet to eliminate acoustic feedback. Key Features & Specifications
• Drive System: Direct drive featuring a high-torque linear BSL motor and Sony's "Crystal Lock" (quartz-lock) system for near-perfect speed stability.
• Automation: Fully automatic function sequencing via an independent, servo-controlled tonearm motor.
• Tonearm: Premium PUA-7 J-shaped static balance tonearm with on-the-fly adjustable Vertical Tracking Angle (VTA).
• Plinth: Heavy, solid plinth constructed from Sony Bulk Mold Compound (SBMC) designed to reject external acoustic feedback and vibration.
• Total Weight: A massive 13 kg (approx. 28.6 lbs), underscoring its robust engineering.
