Semi-automatic
belt-drive Turntable
The 5120
incorporates all the vital features of a turntable needed to achieve
outstanding musical performance. In September ‘94 What Hi Fi? said “- there’s
nothing around to touch it at the price”.
A high
quality synchronous motor ensures that the belt driven platter maintains
accurate speeds without rumble or flutter. The platter, with its
vibration-absorbing thick rubber mat, and the interchangeable tonearm are
mounted on a sub chassis, isolating them from the main chassis and from any
possible interference introducing vibrations.
NAD’s
Dynamic Vibration Absorber (DVA) free floating tonearm counter-weight ensures
absolute stylus
tracking
stability and freedom for muddying resonances.
The 5120's
purity of design and technical innovation promise many years of musical
pleasure.
This
remarkable NAD product was developed in collaboration with an international
team of design engineers. The 5120 was first brought to us by an inventor from
Prague. His ingenious concept was a turntable constructed from a minimum of
essential components, and with a revolutionary flrxible tonearm made from a
printed circuit board.
Under the
supervision of NAD's Research Dirctor, an American engineering company
generated a computer simulation of a perfect with optimum performance
characteristics. This mathematical model was incorporated into the NAD 5120,
resulting in a turntable that challenges some of the finest models in the
market at a fraction of the cost.
The simple
yet elegant design of the 5120 was created by one of the world's leading
industrial designers, NAD's technology, combined with aosthetics and human
engineering has produced a turntable with superb performance, beauty and value.
Our
"floppy" tonearm is the most unique element of the NAD 5120
turntable.
Most
conventional tubular tonearms, limited by their material and shape, tend to add
resonant colorations to the music being reproduced.
NAD's
engineers have taken a fresh approach; the radical flexible and flat design
incorporates a precision suspended counterweight system. This
"floppy" tonearm, combined with a resonance-free floating
sub-chassis, result in a turntable that sets new standards for performance.
The NAD 5120
has brought critical acclaim from the world wide audio press. Here are just a
few of their comments:
Ovation
Magazine (USA), said " a deceptively
simple design that becomes more intriguing at its relatively low cost."
Revue du Son
(France), commented " Always true to its
basic philosophy, NAD is offering this turntable at a price that beats all
competition…"
Hi-Fi (UK),
concluded " Sonically, the NAD 5120 is in
a class of its own."
