With this
well-made stereo turntable, Pioneer proves once again that quality and
parcticality are synonymous. The budget-prieced PL-12D gives you more for your
stereo investment than you'd ever expect. A fine synchronous motor that helps
cut out audible wow and flutter. An extremely steady belt-drive. An
anti-skating control to lessen distortion. A cueing device with simultaneous
movement with the start lever. And a beautifully-balanced S-shaped tonearm with
plug -in type lightweight head-shell. For the man about to make his first
investment into stereo components, the PL-12D becomes more than a budget
investment but a truly professional turntable that will serve him well for many
years of quality sound reproduction.
Drive Motor
Section
The Pl-12D
employs a 4-pole synchronous motor and a belt-drive system to ensure stable
rotation of the turntable platter that is free from line voltage fluctuation.
The synchronous motor is much like the motors usually used only in expensive
turntables, and is the quietest that you can own. It gives you an extremely
high Signal-to-Noise ratio, extremely low wow and flutter, and helps cut down
on irritating motor vibration
Tonearm
Section
The tonearm
of the PL-12D is the static-balanced, S-shaped type that uses a super hard
alloy material aat the pivot point of its arm, thereby assuring sesnsitive,
stable tracking at all times. The counter weight of the tone arm is the stylus
pressure direct reading type that gives easy weight adjustment when
cartridge-changing is necessary. Then there is a lightweight plug-in type
headshell so that you may use a cartridge with its stylus pressure from 0,75
grams. To cut down on distortion, the PL-12D has an anti-skating control to
suppress the harmful inward force of the stylus.
Other
Distinctive features
The cueing
control an oil-damped arm elevation device, is connected to the start lever and
helpd prevent damage to your stylus or your record usually caused by
misoperation. There is a stylus position gauge to facilitate easy installation
of your favorite cartridge. And Pioneere used aluminum foil on the inner part
of the Pl-12D's wooden cabinet to prevent external noise often caused by yoour
amplifier or other equipment placed near the turntable. The cabinet itself
elegantly styled is the spring-suspension type and designed to cope with
external vibraation. The dust cover of the Pl-12D is hinged in the free-stop
manner, permitting you to leaave it at rest at any angle you choose.
