Spectro Acoustics 101B preamplifier

Spectro Acoustics Model 101B

Preamplifier/Equalizer

The quality of a stereo component system lies in the audiophil's choice of equipment. The major influence affecting that quality is the interaction and influence of each component on other components and the culmination of those influences on the human ear. This is where the choice is made in selecting "quality" and whether to accept a particular sound as "right"

All things considered, the perfect listening environment is still the concert hall and reproduction of music must remain subjective. However, we want control over what we hear and have the facility to change what it is that reaches our ears. In musical reproduction this function is relegated to the concepts of tonal compensation, balance and volume. The equipment corollary is the modern preamplifier; a device which offers control over the amount of sound reaching our ears and which particular source we will listen to, (whether it be a tape recording, a phonograph record or a radio broadcast). In most cases, there is the ability to change the tonal content at specifically designated frequencies.

Spectro Acoustics, in attempting to obtain maximum performance value, offers the Model 101B preamplifier/equalizer for audiophiles who want the most in flexibility and performance at a reasonable price.

The Spectro Acoustic Model 101B  in order to optimize reliability and serviceability, is designed and constructed to utilize plug-together glass-epoxy circuit boards and 100% monolithic IC circuitry for consistent performance. All controls and connections are human engineered to give simple straight forward operation. The graphic panel of the 101B is a display of exactly what's going on inside of the unit. Control is at the user's finger tips to seek the level and range of sound that achieves personal satisfaction.

The equalizer circuit for the Model 101B is a totally new type based on Spectro Acoustics gyrator synthesis techniques similar to those used in the Model 210 Graphic Equalizer. The design is a hybrid coil/gyrator type which totally eliminates distortion and hum for equalizer circuitry. The filter parameters are optimized for maximum flexibility from a five band design and as an added benefit the highest and lowest frequency bands are "shelving" type to control the response well beyond are "shelving" type to control the response well beyond the extremes of audibility. The usefulness of the equalizer circuitry is further enhanced through its complete availability to line or tape outputs, or total bypass for equalization in/out comparisons.

In phono stage, the Model 101B utilizes an isolated feedback servo op-amp phono stage with ultra-accurate adherence to the RIAA curve. This circuit provides for accurate cartridge response, increased definition of high frequencies and greater dynamic range. Internally accessible cartridge loading components can be adjusted by any qualified and authorized technician to perfectly match the cartridge load for any cartridge.

Electro-Voice Sentry 100EL monitor

Electro-Voice Sentry 100EL

Professional Powered Monitor System

Near-field monitor for post production and live sound

Wide, uniform coverage

Extremely smooth frequency response

High power handling

High-Performance, built-in, 50-watt amplifier for remote operation

Description

The Electro-Voice Sentry 100EL powered monitor speaker system combines the advantages of the Sentry 100A monitor with a self-contained, high-Performance power amplifier. It is designed with the broadcast/recording studio engineer in mind, although it is well suited for a wide variety of professional applications. The Sentry 100EL offers uniform frequency response and dispersion across a wide range.

A Super-Dome tweeter is employed to faith-fully reproduce program material at high levels, with response out to 18,000 Hz and uniform dispersion (120(O) at 5,000 Hz) The low-frequency section is an 8-inch direct radiator woofer installed in an optimally vented enclosure with fourth-order Butterworth tuning. The optimally vented design is responsible for the unusual combination of small size, extended bass response and high efficiency. Such performance is simply not available in other enclosures of similar size.

The Sentry 100EL is housed in a utility cabinet wrapped in a special scratch-resistant, matte black vinyl. The cabinet size is intentionally designed fro rack mounting. The steel-reinforced grille is covered with a custom gray cloth. This provides maximum protection and a pleasing, aesthetic quality.

The Sentry 100EL may be driven room any line-level signal source. An XLR-type connector is provided for use with balanced sources, while a 1/4-inch phone jack accommodates unbalanced lines. Uses only the appropriate connector; both should not be connected at the same time. Although both inputs are protected against voltage peaks of up to 100 volts, connection from an external power amplifier is redundant and invariably results in increased noise and distortion.

Most importantly, a sharp cutoff, high-pass filter is included which has been precisely tailored to the Sentry 100EL response. It provides a dramatic reduction of energy-wasting, sub-sonic signals in the amplifier and woofer. By controlling low-frequency cone excursion and amplifier power, program material any often be reproduced at higher levels without distortion and without any reduction in acoustic low-frequency response.

A system level control is located on the front of the enclosure which varies the gain of the amplifier from zero over a useful range of more than 30 dB. Additionally, a red indicator lamp shows when AC power is applied to the Sentry 100EL. A replaceable AC power fuse is located on the rear panel of the system. The rating and type are identified beside the fuse holder. Under normal conditions, even with momentary overloads, the fuse will not blow.

Kyocera D801 cassette deck

Kyocera Model D-801 Cassette Deck Incorporating Dual Capstan 3-motor tape Transport mechanism with Dolby B and C Noise Reduction

With the perfectionist in Mind Cybernet technology has gone all out to produce a cassette deck that will make even the most particular tape enthuiast stop and wonder.

In a nutshell, Cybernet's D-801 has been designed to improve dynamic characteristics. Briefly, although values of static characteristics of a cassette deck (such as signal-to-noise ratio, Wow and Flutter) have almost reached the measurable limit, those characteristics which may not be reflected on actual spec values but which affect audible sound differences must be improved. For this reason, we have decided to use the double capstan two head concept which contributes to meaningful areas of operation, such as Wow and Flutter, frequency response and appropriate head to tape pressure.

FET Amplifier

Because no cassette deck is better than its amplifier, Cybernet uses FET amps in the input stages for superb record / playback head characteristics. Signal-to-Noise-Ratio  and excellent Frequency Response  are improved by direct coupling of the R/P head amp FET to the first stage amp FET.

The Drive for Excellence

To insure constant speed drive and least possible Wow & Flutter, the D-801 uses a 2-capstan drive. This provides individual capstans and pinch-rollers for both the take-up and feed reels, thus insuring the proper tape also runs smoothly and with optimum tape tension, virtually eliminating external shock modulating noise which sometimes causes tape vibration while in play or record mode.

The capstans are driven directly by a brushless frequency generated servo motor. because of this motor driving only the capstans, better and uniform torque is achieved resulting in improved Wow & Flutter and tape speed accuracy.

A second DC governorless motor is used to drive both the take-up and feed reels, while a similar third motor gently positions the record/playback head against the tape surface. This innovative approach results in long lasting head-to-tape positioning accuracy and maximizes proper head azimuth alignment.

The tape transport incorporates two electromagnetic brakes, one for feed and the other for take-up reel rewind. This super braking action protects the tape from stress damage, breaksge or distortion when stopping in the fast forward or rewind mode.

Dolby B and C Noise Reduction

While many audiophiles have been using the Dolby B system, Cybernet now has incorporated a Dolby C system for greater dynamic range and frequency response.

Now, with Cybernet's Kyocera Model D-801 Cassette Deck, new superior recordings can be made.

Basically, the Dolby B system reaches greatest effectiveness above 4 kHz, reducing noise by about 10 dB. Dolby C reaches effectiveness from 1 kHz and above and provides up to 20 dB of NR. By having both systems built into the Model D-801 Deck, Cybernet lets the user make the choice.

APMR Feature

Automatic Program Mute Recording is a system built into the D-801 providing 5-second unrecorded portions in the tape when in record mode. In playback these gaps are useful for locating the beginning or the end of the recorded segments. The 5-second unrecorded gaps are utilized by the auto search feature to stop at the beginning of the program continues for five seconds and automatically advances to the next program unless the play button is activated in order to stop auto search.

Versatility and Convenience

In addition to its feather-touch pushbutton mechanism, automatic memory functions are included for memory stop, auto stop, auto play and auto repeat. Other functions included are shutoff at end of playback, record, fast forward and rewind modes. Complementing these features is an electronic 4-digit counter for elapsed time, remaining time and stopwatch.

Tape selection, bias and equalization are provided for all current tape types including metal. In addition, fine adjustment provides optimum performance from the selected tape brand.

Performance is assured by Cybernet's use of a Sendust alloy rewind/playback head. This meets the needed demand for top=notch performance with to-day's metal tape. A built-in 400 Hz calibration tone enables proper adjustment of record/playback levels for each channel.

Other convenience features include LED indicators for function modes, L/R channel peak levels, record level balance and output controls, illuminated cassette compartment with viscous damped cassette door and headphone jacks for private listening, as well as record peak level hold.

Technics SB-4000 loudspeakers

 Technics SB-4000

Linear Phase Speaker System

The amazing waveform fidelity of the Technics Linear Phase speaker systems has now gained widespread attention. With the SB-4000 is a similar system . Yet it still retains the essential crispness and transparency of sound that characterizes its forerunners. As our oscilloscope tests have shown, sound pressure waveforms of musical instruments played through the Linear Phase system mirror almost exactly the original waveforms. This remarkable technological achievement came only after months of patient research by teams of dedicated audio specialists. The important elements of balanced tonality, finely etched transient response and excellent stereo imaging are all there, contributing tot a very convincing impression of live music.

Optimum speaker location By precisely aligning the acoustical centers of the speaker units and placing them physically as close together (while keeping them acoustically isolated). Technics engineers have succeeded in attaining phase linearity with even sound distribution. Moreover, the location of the units is finely tuned to compensate for slight phase shift in the crossover region. You will notice that the woofer is placed well away from the floor level to reduce boomy floor effects.

Vented Design for bass extension with excellent Power Handling

The SB-4000 is perfectly at ease handling Power up to 75 watts . And the High 91 dB efficiency assures ample volume, even with low power input. A surprisingly rich, solid bass response is achieved with a carefully tuned vented cabinet.

Toshiba SB-404 amplifier

Technical Features

The all stage direct coupling OCL (Output Condenser Less) type IC amplifiers (output music power 68W) are installed in all the four main amplifiers to increase their performance and reliability.

When used with two speakers and a BTL (Balanced Transformer Less) connection, approximately twice as much power is obtained, than when used with only one speaker.

All the two channel program sources (record, open reel, cassette, cartridge tape, FM broadcasting, etc.) can be reproduced in the four channel fashion with the built-in QME (QM Effect) unit.

This stereo amplifier has a built-in special condenser-cartridge (model number C-401S) amplifier and consequently can be directly connected to the player, and further can be switched to the magnetic cartridge with the aid of the switch.

The level of each channel can be easily adjusted, because the accurate detection of the level of each channel is made possible by the four built-in large scale level meters.

The low-noise transistors, which are produced on the basis of the PCT manufacturing method developed by the Toshiba, are used for all transistors in this amplifier.

The reproduction of all the channel program sources is possible with this unit because two systems of input terminals for four channels are provided.

The four channel tape deck can be also used with this amplifier.

Two channel headphone may be used as well as the four channel type, (model number HR40) utilizing both the front and rear headphone jacks provided.

Condenser-Cartridge Amplifier

There are two types of cartridge, the velocity proportional type (MM, MC, etc.) and the amplitude proportional type (photoelectric cartridge, etc.). The condenser-cartridge belongs to the latter type and a special correction curve different from the conventional one is necessary. The power for the ICs in the cartridge is supplied through the ground of the input terminal R channel. This amplifier can be directly connected with the condenser cartridge (This is not the case for the photoelectric cartridge).

BTL Circuit

When the four channel amplifier is used for reproduction with two speakers, this circuit is used in order to operate the four amplifiers effectively. The output voltage of two factors of magnitude can be supplied between the output terminals of each amplifier when the one speaker is operated in phase and the other out of phase with the use of the phase reverse circuit.

Although the output power is theoretically of the four factors of magnitude from the relation, —(2V)?/R=4V?/R, that is in practice reduced to about two factors of magnitude due to losses such as the regulation of the transformer, the emitter resistance, etc.

JVC JT-V31 tuner

JVC JT-V31 High Fidelity FM/AM Tuner

What do you want from a tuner? Easy station selection and high fidelity sound are the two most important things, naturally. But how can you be sure that the tuner you're about to buy will deliver them? Here's what our JVC audio engineers have to say about the new JT-V31.

"Providing the two most basic function of a tuner, if it is to be strictly hi-fi, is a challenge most research labs and theoretical thinkers think is easy to meet. But in practice you find that an ingenious circuit designed to solve one problem - say that of increasing FM selectivity - might lower the sensitivity, or degrade other specifications, once you get it wired into your prototype model. So the so-called perfect circuit is not so ingenious after all. In truth, we've made the best compromises we could in the JT-V31. It's really state-of-the-art and we think it's a lot of tuner for the money."

The longer you own it, the more you'll appreciate it. It's the JT-V31 from JVC - Listening for the future.

FM 65 dB Selectivity

Selecting the station you want in FM-crowded urban areas is a growing problem in tuners not built for the job. The JT-V31 however has a new 4-resonator type single-unit ceramic filter to help achieve an impressive 65 dB selectivity without degrading other important specifications.

Precision Built FM Frontend

A dependable frequency linear tuning capacitor in the FM frontend increases sensitivity to distant or weak stations and affords high tuning precision.

FM Stereo PLL Circuit

The newly developed PLL (Phase-Locked Loop) circuit in an IC form delivers outstanding stereo separation over an IC form delivers outstanding stereo separation over a wide frequency range with more reliability and stability than conventional multiplex (MPX) circuits. Independent left/right-channel low-pass filters eliminate crosstalk for more precise sound image location.

IC Construction

Three high-integration IC formed blocks, one each for the FM-IF FM-MPX, and AM, guaranties dependability and reduce service needs.

FM/AM Tuning Ease

The extra long (240 mm ) dial is frequency linear for FM and is designed scientifically for easiest reading in actual use. The mechanism has a high-inertia flywheel and stretch-free "radial cord" cables to maintain high precision operation in all types of environment.

Twin Tuning Meters

The signal strength meter (FM an AM) at the left side of the meter window always responds in linear proportion to the strengths of incoming signals without overloading. Its circuit is the integral-linear type and is never :fooled" (saturated). The FM tuning meter at the right is equally well built, providing visual confirmation of the tuning of an FM signal to the point where distortion is minimal and stereo separation best.

Additional Features

Hi-Blend Switch - Enables elimination of high-frequency FM noise for optimum stereo separation

Low Distortion AM  - IC with self-contained RF amp. low-pass filter and ceramic filter assures clear, pleasant AM sound.

FM Muting - Switch ON (in normal position) to eliminate FM inter-station noise, or OFF to tune in weak or distant stations.

Infinity Quantum 5 loudspeakers

 Infinity Quantum 5

Hard to believe until you hear it  - and even then; that a moderately-sized speaker at a most reasonable price can house the most advanced high-and low-frequency drivers (plus a high-definition midrange dome) and set them free to operate in all their realism.

That's the beauty of the Quantum 5 by Infinity.

Our superlative EMIT and the revolutionary Infinity -Watkins Dual-Drive Woofer are vital ingredients of our formidable Quantum reference Standard speaker-and-equalization system priced at several thousand dollars.

Now the Quantum 5 - at a small fraction of the cost of the Quantum Reference Standard  - has an EMIT and a dual-voice coil woofer of its own. And a sound that would be a revelation from any size speaker, at any price.

IN a woofer, two voice-coils are better than one. In performance, our dual-voice-coil woofer is better than any other.

Impossible combination: good transient response, sufficient power, acceptable efficiency, and extended bass range - all from an enclosure of reasonable size.

Now Infinity brings you Wiliams Watkin's ingenious solution to problems of a speaker's fundamental resonance, back-EMF, and the resultant impedance peak.

The Infinity-Watkins Dual-Drive Woofer, available only in Infinity's Quantum Series speakers, works like this.

In the frequency range where rising impedance and falling response were considered inevitable, a second voice coil takes over. In the region of resonance, it presents a low impedance path to the amplifier.

Now back-EMF is reduced, so the speaker can make use of the amplifier's power at low frequencies. Now it isn't inherent resonance but input that controls the cone. Now extended bass response co-exists beautifully with accurate transient performance. Now the superb bass reproduction of the dual-voice-coil woofer is yours in a reasonably priced compact speaker, Infinity's marvelous Quantum 5.

Is this any way to treat a revolutionary woofer?

In our top-of-the-industry Quantum Reference Standard, the Watkins is the Oscar Peterson of woofers; it can loaf, and still out-perform the rest of the world. It is responsible for response only from its phenomenal floor of 18 Hz to an easy 100 Hz/

As used in the three-way Quantum 5, the revolutionary woofer handles a frequency range from 30 through 600 Hz. So we give the cone a special treatment to increase greatly its stiffness-to-mass ratio. This damping treatment eliminates a variety of circumferential modes and resonances that blur the bass and muddy the midbass in ordinary speakers. Low-frequency reproduction from the Quantum 5 is exciting in its combination of clarity with power. In the vital midrange, Quantum 5 uses Infinity's high-definition dome driver. It is exceptionally accurate in its range from 600 to 4000 Hz. And from 4000 Hz up - far up.

The superlative, soaring EMIT - clearly superior to domes and cones. And electrostatics.

In theory, the magnetic counter-part of the electrostatic tweeter would be just as clean, accurate, and high-ranging as the electrostatic - and trouble-free besides.

In fact, our exclusive EMIT with its magnets of the rare-earth substance Samarium Cobalt, the most powerful magnetic material on earth, is all of that and more.

The EMIT exhibits nearly perfect horizontal dispersion - clearly superior to electrostatics' narrow beaming of high frequencies. And EMIT, more than either electrostatics or conventional dome drivers, is capable of reproducing every transient peak, every fortissimo as accurately as every subtely in the most demanding recording. Listen.

IN scientific measurements and, more important, in listening tests, EMIT stays smooth as high as your ears can follow. beyond that, they keep going right up to 32,000 Hz. Infinity invented the Electromagnetic Induction Tweeter. And only Infinity offers you its advantages. It's standout technological advance and it blends beautifully with the midrange dome and Watkins woofer - thanks to Infinity's meticulous attention to crossover technology and phasing.

The resulting output of a Pair of Quantum 5 speakers has an almost pictorial depth. You place each musician or section front or rear, as well as left or right, as naturally as at a concert.

Infinity Quantum 4 loudspeakers

Infinity Quantum 4

The sound of this smallest floorstanding speaker in the Quantum Series is eloquent. It clearly proclaims that with Infinity, a music-lover who has to compromise on the cost of elements of an audio system doesn't have to suffer equal compromises on quality.

In 1976 our Quantum Line Source (height, well over five feet price well over $1000) set a whole new industry standard with the first use of superlative EMIT tweeters and the Infinity-Watkins Dual-Drive Woofer, among other advances.

 Now The Quantum 4 (much smaller size, much lower price) seems certain to set the new standard for compact three-way speakers, with an EMIT and dual-voice-coil woofer ot its own. Among other advances.

What two voice coils do for our remarkable woofer.

It has always been impossible to get good transient response, sufficient power, an acceptable level of efficiency and extended bass range from an enclosure of reasonable size. Till now.

Now William Watkins has found, and Infinity has made excellent use of, the solution to problems of a speaker's fundamental resonance, back-EMF, and the resultant impedance peak. Watkins's invention, available in Infinity speakers and no others, is a woofer with two voice-coils, called the Infinity-Watkins Dual-Drive Woofer. It works like this:

Down among the frequencies where rising impedance and falling response were inevitable before, the second voice-coil takes over. In the region of resonance, it presents a low impedance path to the amplifier.

Now the speaker can make use of the amplifier's power at low frequencies, because back EMF is reduced. Now input rather than inherent resonance can control the cone. Now extended bass response and accurate transient performance can co-exist beautifully. Now you can enjoy the superb reproduction of the Dual-Drive Woofer in a compact speaker, the Quantum 4.

Is this any way to treat a revolutionary woofer?

In our top-of-the-industry Quantum Line Source, the Infinity-Watkins is the Oscar Peterson of woofers; it can loaf, and still out-perform the rest of the world. We've made it responsible for response only from its phenomenal floor of 18 Hz to an easy 200 Hz.

As used in the Quantum 4, the revolutionary woofer handles a frequency range from 30 through 600 Hz. We give the cone a special treatment that greatly increases the ratio of its stiffness to its mass. This damping treatment eliminates a variety of distortions, circumferential modes and resonances that otherwise could blur the bass and muddy the midbass. And low frequencies from the Quantum 4 are exciting in their combination of clarity with power.

Next up in the Quantum 4 array of drivers is Infinity's high-definition dome midrange driver. In its range from 600 to 4,000 Hz it speakers nothing but the accurate truth. And above all.

EMIT - the eminent exclusive tweeter that stays smooth as high as your ears can reach - and beyond.

Infinity wrote the book on the electrostatic tweeter. It was a story of triumph over adversity. Now we/ve gone the electrostatic on better.

Electrostatics, with their low-mass diaphragms driven uniformly overall, delivered sweet undistorted reproduction of high frequencies. But they were subject to voltage break-down and tended to "beam" sound narrowly.

Our dream of creating a trouble-free magnetic counterpart of the electrostatic became a beautiful reality after we hit on the use of the magnetically powerful rare-earth material called Samarium Cobalt.

now our EMIT - with Samarium Cobalt magnet provides gloriously accurate and musical high-frequency performance minus the limitations of electrostatics, plus nearly perfect horizontal dispersion and high power capability, clear up to a superauditory 32,00 Hz.

EMIT tweeters are used in Infinity speakers. And in no other speakers in the world.

In the Quantum 4 the Dual-Drive Woofer, dome midrange driver, an EMIT, and Infinity's meticulous attention to phasing and crossover technology join together to produce startlingly lifelike stereo imaging and depth.

The sound of a pair of Quantum 4 speakers would be a joy no matter what size enclosures or what price instruments it came from, From compact speakers in the Quantum 4 price range it is a revelation .

Thorens BTD-12S tonearm

 Thorens BTD-12S Professional Tone Arm with exclusive cueing control for lowering and raising arm The Thorens BTD-12S tone arm is a classic example of Swiss craftsmanship. Designed for lowest possible inertia and friction, in both horizontal and vertical planes, the BTD-12S is ideal for pickup cartridges of the highest lateral and vertical compliance. The low inertia minimizes force on the stylus from warped and off-center records, assures positive contact between stylus and record groove, and reduces distortion as well as record and stylus wear to a minimum. Despite its very compact size,, the BTD-12S has less tracking error than many 16" arms (only 0,5(o) per inch). Special pivot design eliminates another source of distortion found in ordinary arms by keeping stylus perpendicular to the record at all times. The knob adjustment for stylus force (calibrated in grams) and the record-saving, stylus-saving are unequaled for convenience.

Outstanding Features

Cueing Device - A built-in precision cueing device raises and lowers the arm over the record when a knob is turned. When lifted, the arm is given a slight braking action to keep the stylus over the groove. When lowered, the arm is completely free of any interference from the cueing device.

Tracking Error - Only 0,5(o)/inch maximum with optimum stylus overhang

Bearings - Precision ball bearings on both axes reduce friction (lateral and vertical) to the order of 1/10 gram

Exclusive Pivot Design -  Ideally, the stylus axis a should remain in a vertical plane, defined by the stylus and the tangent to the record groove, for all up-and-down movements of the arm. In ordinary arms, this is impossible because the axis of the bearing for up-and-down motion is set at right angles to the straight part of the arm. This causes the ordinary arm to "cant" or lean the stylus to one side when in any position other than perfectly horizontal. The BTD-12S eliminates this source of distortion by setting the bearing at an angle to the straight part of the arm. The stylus in the BTD-12S thus never leans to either side for any height adjustment, any warped record.

Balancing -  With stylus force adjustment set to "0", the counterweight will balance the arm, with a 5-19 gram ( ,18 - ,67 oz.) cartridge installed, in both horizontal and vertical planes. Then, since stylus force is applied by a spring at any other setting of the adjustment, the arm remains in balance and is insensitive to out-of-level tables or floor vibrations

Stylus Force Adjustment - Calibrated in grams on a large, engraved scale for 2 to 8 grams with zero position for balancing.

Low-Frequency Resonance - Below audible range. Damping material isolates counterweight to prevent other undesirable resonance in audible range.

Plug-in Shell - AN aluminum plug-in shell accommodates any standard cartridge and comes with mounting hardware. A 4-pin (plus ground) connector provides electrical connections. A screw-secured slide on the shell permits easy, precise adjustment of stylus overhang.

Cables - Two shielded cables 39" (one meter) long, with standard phono connectors, and a separate ground wire are supplied. No soldering is necessary.

Thorens TD-165C turntable

Thorens TD-165C

New 2-speed Integrated Transcription Turntable

Despite in modest price, the new Thorens TD-165C is a Thorens in every sense of the word. it incorporates many advanced features plus the traditional refinements and quality that are the foundation of Thorens reputation for the world's finest turntable performance.

New, Improved Tonearm

The nine-inch Thorens TP-11 tonearm has been specially designed for the TD-165C. made of low-mass aluminum and suspended in pin-and-cup bearings, it virtually eliminates tracking error and lateral drag. its micro pivot assembly assures the highest flexibility in the horizontal and vertical planes.

Tonearm balance and Stylus Tracking Force Adjustment

A precision assembly permits exact adjustments of tracking force, in one-half gram increments to accommodate cartridges that track as low as 0,5 gram. the stylus sits perfectly in the groove for optimum signal pickup and absolute minimum wear. Tracking error is less than 0,15% cm of radius.

Lightweight magnesium Plug-in Shell

Designed to match the finest cartridges, the lightweight shell plugs in and out easily to facilitate switching cartridges for special applications, 4-channel, or for personal taste.

Precision Cueing

A cue/pause control is conveniently located in front of the platter. Just slide the tonearm to the desired groove or band and turn the cueing knob to lower the stylus gently into the groove. When rotated in the opposite direction, the knob raises the tonearm. The system is viscous damped to prevent damage to both the stylus and the record.

Unique Double 16-pole Synchronous Motor

A miniature power unit, it synchronizes its speed with accuracy better than +_0,1%, by locking on to the 60 Hz frequency of the power line. Operating at extremely low speed of 450 rpm, vibration is completely minimized. The long, resilient belt drive acts as a filter to eliminate rumble transfer from the motor pulley to the platter's large inner flywheel.

Precision Balanced Turntable

The non-ferrous, anti-magnetic 6,6 lb, 12-inch platter is internally contoured, with its weight precisely distributed. this provides maximum flywheel action which absorbs speed variations, thus eliminating wow and flutter.

Unified Suspension System

The tonearm mount and the platter assembly are united on a single suspension unit. They are completely isolated from the motor. This unique split level design isolates the suspended chassis from the motor board and minimizes sensitivity to acoustic feedback and external vibration.

Anti-skate Control

Thorens has engineered a precision system to counteract the tonearm's natural tendency to swing toward the center of the record. By maintaining the stylus dead center between the walls of the grooves, record life is extended, distortion is eliminated and there's maximum stereo separation.

Attenuator-Type Master Volume Control

We've improved the "feel" of the master volume control by giving it decibel calibrations from 0 down to -70 dB.

For operating convenience, the control has 41 detents or click stops. The mechanism which actually controls the volume - the potentiometer - is elaborate with four-ganged design. there is one two-ganged potentiometer ahead of the tone controls amp. another behind. the thoroughness of this design is apparent in improved s/n ratio during low-level sound reproduction.

Low-Distortion Tone Control Amp

This is an IC-built circuit block, employing NFB (Negative Feedback) to lower distortion to 0,005% or less (4V output) over the 20 -20,000 Hz range. Bass and treble adjustments are made by the two slider controls - each with 11 click stops - in conjunction with two switches for Turnover.

The Turnover for Bass offers a choice of 400 Hz or 200 Hz as the frequency at which response is down by -3 dB; turnover for Treble gives a choice of 2,5 kHz or 5 kHz. only a tone control this elaborate and far-reaching provides total system control. You may, if you wish, bypass the tone circuit.
