The Motor
Section
A
self-cooling, hysteresis synchronous type with an inside out rotor, drives the
platter with enough torque to reach full speed in one third of a revolution. It
contributes to the almost immeasurable 0,004% average wow and flutter value in
our specifications.
Belt Drive
system
Every
turntable is apcked only when zero error is achieved in its speed accuracy. To
prevent any variations of speed we grind each belt to ±.0001 inch
The Platter
Every two
piece, 7 lb, 3 inch thick, die-cast aluminum platter is dynamically balanced.
Once in motion, it acts as a massive flywheel to assure specified wow and
flutter value even with the voltage varied from 105 to 127 volts AC.
The Main
Bearing
The
stainless steel shaft extending from the platter is aged, by alternate
exposures to extreme changes in temperature, preventing it from ever warping.
The tip is then precision ground and polished before lapping it into two
oillite, self-lubricating bearings, reducing friction and reducing rumble to
one of the lowest figures ever measured in a professional turntable; 63 dB CBS
ARLL
Piston
damped, 16 gauge steel coil springs cradle the arm and platter. You can dance
without your stylus joining in.
The Tonearm
The aluminum
tubular design boasts one of the lowest fundamental frequencies of any arm, an
inaudible 6 Hz. Acoustic feedabck is unheard of, even with gain and bass turned
all the way up. The vertical and horizontal bearing friction is 1 milligram.
This allows the arm to move effortlessly, imposing only the calibrated
anti-skating and tracking force you select.
The
Cartridge
Empire's
best, the 4000D/III, wide response cartridge is a standard feature. The
capabilites of this cartridge allow you to play any 4 channel or stereo record
at 1 gram or less. And the frequency response is an extraordinary 5 - 50,000 Hz
, with more than 35 dB channel separtaion.
The Controls
The
coordinated anti-skating adjustment provides the necessary force for the
horizontal plane. It is micrometer calibrated to eliminate channel imbalance or
unnecessary record wear.
Stylus force
is dialed with a calibrated clock mainspring more accurate than any
commercially available stylus pressure gauge.
A true
vertical cueing control floats the tonearm up or down from a record surface
bathed in light.
