We developed our exclusive Unitorque Motor to reduce wow and flutter to a remarkably low 0.025%. One of the lowest in the industry.
In simple terms, wow and flutter is a wavering in sound. And since Unitorque reduces wow and flutter, when you hear a sustained note--whether it's on a piano or bass--with the Hitachi PS/48 Turntable it is smooth. Consistent. And clean.
We achieved this breakthrough by developing an extremely accurate direct drive DC servo control motor. It utilizes a specially designed speed deviation detection system. This assures precise, virtually constant speed.
The new Hitachi PS/48 Turntable. With specs this good, it turns the tables on other turntables.
