We can't say the speed accuracy of our new quartz-locked
turntables is 100%. Just 99.998%. 
Nobody's perfect. But Technics quartz-locked, direct-drive Q-Series: the Q-2
semi-automatic and Q-3 fully automatic come incredibly close.
So dose that many discos and FM stations choose Technics quartz-locked, direct-drive turntables over any other. It's no wonder, with speed accuracy of 0.002%, wow and flutter of only C.025% WRMS and rumble of-78dB (DIN B).They're impressive specs.
What's just as impressive is Technics soft-touch In-line control; conveniently mounted on the front panel. You can operate every electronic function without ever lifting the dust cover.
Or Technics statically balanced S-shaped tonearm. With only 7 mg friction on both the vertical and horizontal planes, it's more than sensitive, it's sensational. Even the computer-designed headshell contacts are gold-plated for maximum conductivity.
To help protect against acoustic feedback, Technics Q-Series turntables are all mounted in a precision aluminum diecast base with a unique non-resonant compound, TNRC. It's so effective it resists feedback at the highest music levels.
By this time you might think you have to be rich to afford Technics Q-Series. You don't. Both models are surprisingly reasonable.
Technics Q-Series. We can't say they're perfect. You will.
