Pioneer
PL-115D
Auto-Return
Mechanism Turntable with Precision 4-Pole Synchronous Motor.
Pioneer's
PL-115D is a prcision turntable solution for the audiophile who seeks key
automatic functions along with outstanding tonal quality from record
reproduction. Durable, quiet, crafted with typically long-life Pioneer
workmanship, the PL-115D features a speed-detecting auto-returnmechanism that
returns its tonearm to rest smoothly even with a warped record, a sensitive
S-shaped pipe-arm with anti-skating device, and a howling-free floating cabinet
constructed free of resonance. There are many more features, too. The
belt-drive system employed in the PL-115D uses a 4-pole synchronous motor – the
quiet, vibration-less type – and delivers wow and flutter of 0,07%(WRMS) and
S/N ratio of 50 dB. The cabinet is constructed of beautiful walnut grain wood.
Best of all is the PL-512D's pric. Very modest. When you see this Pioneer unit
performs, then learn how little fine quality can cost, we think you'll discover
that your turntable problems are solved forever.
Speed-detecting
Auto-Return Mechanism.
The
PL-115D uses a speed-detecting auto-return mechanism that offers precision
operation while it returns the tonearm to its rest position smoothly. This
mechanism operates perfectly even during playback of warped records.
High-Sensitive
S-Shaped pipe-arm with Anti-skatingdevice.
An
angular-contact bearing is employed at the revolving point of the tonearm's
ball-bearing which ensures that the precision tonearm and its easy-to-operate
anti-skating device can trace record grooves faithfully during playback, either
vertically or horizontally, with even light stylus pressure cartridges. The
turntable is also equipped with a direct readout stylus pressure counterweight,
used for weight adjustment and easy replacement of cartridges.
Convenient
Cueing Device
The
viscous-damped cueing device is connected to the arm elevation lever to help
prevent damage to both stylus and your records often caused by misoperation.
Howling-Free,
Double Floating System for Superior Tonal Quality.
The
cabinet of PL-115D is strong, howling-free and typical of the kind of fine
craftmanship that has earned the impeccable Pioneer reputation of quality. Its
solid surface panel features such excellent properties as optimum inner loss,
impregnable strength and high density. Completely free from resonance, this
material is one of the most ideal for acoustic cabinet construction. The
turntable platter and tonearm are fixed to the chassisof the PL-115D, suspended
from the surface panel with springs. The motor is fixed to the surface panel
with a rubber cushion. Then there are further improvements used to contribute
to outstanding tonal quality and exact record reproduction, such as insulators
composed of butyl rubber and natural rubber that prevent vibration conveyed
from the floors of your listening room. The cabinet of the PL-115D is elegantly
styled in attractive walnut grain finish.
Belt-Drive
System with 4-Pole Synchronous Motor.
The
precision 4-pole synchronous , motor, free from fluctuation in line voltage and
load, drives the turntable platter with a strong, polished polyurethane belt,
with the combination of these features adding up to flawless record
reproduction. The slightest vibration from the motor is absorbed, and thus the
PL-115D's performance specifications are first rate; wow and flutter of 0,07%
(WRMS) and S/N ratio of 50 dB.
Other
Important Features
The
inside of the bottom panel is lined with aluminum foil in order to prevent S/N
deterioration caused by induction hum emanting from the motor and transformer.
The
PL-115D uses a light, strong plug-in type aluminum headshell.
A
low-stray capacitance phono cord is standard equipment.
A lateral
balancer is provided to enhance both the horizontal and vertical sensitivity of
the tonearm.
A
detachable acryl dust cover is hinged in a free-stop fashion for easy of
liffting and lowering.
A
convenient headshell stand is provided on the surface panel.
