From its inception
to the present, belt drive has been improved by making various design changes
to the motor or platter balance. Now the FG motor-driven ST120 brings an even
higher level of performance. Many other improvements have been made to raise this
high performance turntable into a leading role.
FG Seervo DC Motor
The FG servo DC
motor is coaxially coupled to maintain high accuracy in rotation speed. The
signal is converted into rectangular waves by a waveform shaping circuit then
into trigger pulses by the trigger pulse generator circuit. This addition of
electronic control assures precise motor rotation.
Auto Return and Auto
Shutoff
The toneram is also
automatically returned to rest and power turned off at the end of play. This
feature frees you to enjoy play without worrying about the end of the record.
Special Independent
Chassis Suspension
An original design
independent suspension design is incorporated to eliminate vibrations. This system is based on damping
rubber cushinos and balanced steel springs to isolate the cabinet assembly from
outside vibration.
Acoustic feedback is
almost eliminated with this independent structure.
Oil-Damped Cueing
Oil -damped cueing
of ST120 brings the stylus to rest in the groove with such precision and
gentleness your records will no longer be damaged on cueing. Lead-in is safe,
easy and accurate.
Pitch Control
The pitch control
permits adjustments for the sensitive ear. Now you can play or sing along with
your favorite recorded pieces with accurate pitch control.
Low Mass Straight Tonearm
A low mass straight tonearm that has been balanced for resonance provides accurate tracking and also includes a removable headshell and antiskating device.
