A unique solution to a serious turntable problem: Technics turntables with the P-Mount system.
Unfortunately, standard turntable design has left too much to chance in terms of cartridge mounting and performance.
Technics turntables with the patented P-Mount tonearm/cartridge system have changed all that. By providing complete compatibility between tonearm and cartridge to achieve the optimum tonearm resonant frequency: the level at which annoying bass frequency interference is minimized. For the accuracy and fidelity conventional turntables can deny you.
In addition, P-Mount is a plug-in system. You'll get outstanding performance without struggling to install the cartridge. There's nothing to wire. There's no longer a headshell. There's no more fumbling to calibrate overhang or stylus position. Tracking and anti-skating adjustments have been virtually eliminated.
Just plug any P-Mount cartridge into a Technics straight, low mass, high performance tonearm, and tighten one locking screw. With Technics your records are now virtually immune to the groove wear, poor channel separation and distortion caused by improper cartridge-to-tonearm mounting.
Technics has standardized al key specifications with manufacturers of P-Mount cartridges cartridge weight, external dimensions, connector shape, stylus position and more. So you can choose from a wide range of cartridges from virtually every manufacturer.
The P-Mount plug-in cartridge system. Just one of the many advances you'll find in the entire line of sophisticated Technics turntables. Including our surprisingly affordable new quartz-locked series.
The turntable revolution continues at Technics.
