The tonearm that isn't.
The traditional tone arm has been Linatrack. A revolutionary tracking system developed by Revox.
This sophisticated and highly refined electronic servo system ensures that your records are played just the way they were cut, with perfect tangential tracking.
We've eliminated the causes of distortion inherent in conventional tone arm design. There's no need for an anti-skating device because there is no skating force.
Our unique LED/photo diode array monitors the stylus angle and makes instant corrections to keep the tip absolutely perpendicular.
Pivot friction has also been dramatically reduced by our unique single-point jeweled pivot/magnetic support and suspension system.
With Linatrack, tracking error is reduced to a phenomenal 0.5' or less, virtually eliminating distortion and protecting your records from excessive wear.
The high torque direct drive motor of the Revox B790 uses Hall-Effect magnetic sensors tied to a quartz crystal to constantly read and instantly correct rotational speed. This eliminates the moment-to-moment deviations found on even the most expensive conventional direct drive motors. You can verify speed accuracy with the fast responding LED digital readouts. The readouts also provide an accurate log of manual speed adjustments.
