THE LINEAR DRIVE QUARTZ LOCK MT6335 IS THE KIND OF TURNTABLE YOU'D EXPECT FROM THE NEW FISHER. Fisher's technological leader ship in high fidelity was never more elegantly stated than in the new MT6335 Linear Drive quartz lock turn table. Just as direct drive surpassed belt-driven turntables in terms of performance and reliability, so has Linear Drive from the new Fisher brought turntable performance into a new state-of-the-art. SIMPLER IS BETTER. Nothing could be simpler or quieter than Linear Drive. The only moving part is the platter itself. There are no complicated motors or rotating electronic components-just a totally silent, dependable drive system with virtually nothing to go wrong, even after thousands of playings. (The MT6335 comes with an unheard-of five-year warranty.) Proof of the in credible stability and performance is seen in the specs: 0.035% wow and flutter. Rumble is an inaudible -70 dB (DIN B). QUARTZ LOCK ACCURACY. Total speed accuracy is assured by the most effective method in use today--a quartz lock phase locked loop servo circuit. Platter speed is continuously monitored and com pared to a quartz reference signal for instantaneous speed correction. Deviation from 33 1/3 or 45 rpm is virtually zero. STROBE & SPEED CONTROL. Other features combine to make the MT6335 a top-performing, easy-to-operate high fidelity turntable. There's a strobe light and fine speed control to alter record pitch and confirm speed accuracy, viscous damped cueing, automatic tonearm return and shut-off-and all controls are front-panel mounted where you can operate them with the dustcover closed. A carefully crafted, fully counterbalanced S-shaped tonearm accommodates most any cartridge and built into the handsome base is a stylus overhang gauge. LINEAR DRIVE-THE HEART OF THE MT6335 TURNTABLE. The platter on the MT6335 is the only moving part of the turntable drive system. Encircling the platter is a 120-pole magnetic strip. Three drive coils beneath the platter act upon this magnetic strip to propel the platter. Magnetic pulses from the coils "overlap" one another to provide constant, smooth platter rotation. Conventional 12 or 16 pole direct drive systems can't compare to the MT6335 in terms of low wow and flutter, and freedom from "cogging" The utter simplicity of Fisher Linear Drive means years of trouble-free performance. IT'S WHAT YOU'D EXPECT FROM THE NEW FISHER. We in vented high fidelity over 40 years ago. We've never stopped moving forward. The MT6335 is a good example of that technological leadership.
