The tonearm that isn't.
The traditional tone-arm has been replaced. By Linatrack. A revolutionary tracking system developed by Revox.
This sophisticated and highly refined electronic servo-system ensures that your records are played just the way they were cut, with perfect tangential tracking.
We've eliminated the causes of distortion inherent in conventional tonearm design. There's no need for an anti-skating device because there is no skating force.
Our unique LED photo diode array monitors the stylus angle and makes instant corrections to keep the tip absolutely perpendicular of friction has also been dramatically reduced by our unique single-point , jeweled pivot/magnetic support and suspension system.
With Linatrack, tracking error is reduced to a phenomenal 0.5° or less, virtually eliminating distortion and protecting your records from excessive wear The high-torque direct drive motor of the Revox R790 uses Hall-Effect magnetic sensors tied to a quartz crystal to constantly read and instantly correct rotational speed. This eliminates the moment-to-moment deviations found on even the most expensive conventional direct drive motors. You can verify speed accuracy with the fast responding LIE digital readouts. The readouts also provide an accurate log of manual speed adjustments.
Even with its advanced features, the Revox B790 is a pleasure to operate with safe and convenient automation. It works with virtually every cartridge and is ruggedly built to stand up to years of daily operation.
