Consider the Sony Audio PS-X70 turntable.
Think of it as a professional transcription turntable, for home use. At a price your audio-conscious home can afford.
Think about two discrete servo-controlled motors. One for the platter. Another for the tonearm.
And while you're thinking about motors, think about Sony's hesitation-free BSL motor. No brushes. No slots. And absolutely no cogging. Just even, uniform 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 turn table speed at the outer rim of the platter-not at the motor.
There's more you should know: front-mounted feather-touch controls, electro magnetic braking, special four-clamp headshell connector, even resonance-free SBMC cabinet with fluid-filled feet to eliminate acoustic feedback.
But perhaps the most amazing thing about our PS-X70 is that it's not alone.
It's just the top of our line. A whole line of new Sony Audio turn tables, most of which have most of the features we've listed here.
And every one is designed as a system. With electronic, magnetic, and mechanical technologies contributing to a balanced level of audio performance no single innovation could achieve.
We know about turntable innovation. We practically wrote the book: direct drive, servo control,
Quartz lock, bier tonearm, Sony gave you them all. Long before almost anyone knew they existed.
But we also know that innovation alone can't make a great audio component. Sound makes a great audio component.
Like the sound you get from our PS-X70 turntable.
Quit, just because we're ahead? Not Sony Audio. Not on your life.
