Technics new
linear-tracking SL-5. with plug-in cartridge capability made affordable. Just
place the record on the platter, close the cover and press start. Everything
else is automatic, including the pleasure.
Utilizing
the same linear-tracking concept featured in the renowned Technics SL-10 and
SL-15. technics now introduces both the album-sized SL-5 and the compact
SL-DL5. each of these two new models offers you the same incredible performance
and uncanny accuracy of technics linear-tracking at prices equal to many of
today's conventional turntables.
Both feature
Technics plug-in cartridge system, so installation is always easy, exact and
precise. Best of all, the music won't be distorted by improper mounting.
This model
also offers technics direct-drive motor. Dynamically balanced tonearm with
gimbal suspension. Aluminum die-cast platter. Tonearm position indicator LED
and scale to show the precise location of the tonearm on the record. Abuilt-in
muting circuit to eliminate "cliks" and "pops" when the
stylus makes contact with the record surface. Plus convenient front panel
controls.
Technics
Linear Tracking and How it Differs
The best
testimony for the linear tracking concept is its use in mastering lathes.
Record manufactures use linear tracking to meke records, so it's obvious that
it is the best method available to play them back. The point is simple, linear
tracking tonearms play the records ezactly as they were originally cut.
Therefore, tracking error is completely non-existent, and distortion becomes a
notion with meaning only on the test bench. So if linear tracking arms
share these attributes, why should you
choose technics?
One reason
is the dynamic balance system - it makes certain that tracking force is always
precise and accurate. Plus, Technics incorporates a very sophisticated
optoelectronic deflection angle detection system, governed by microcomputer and
constantly monitored. You can therefore
be sure that the stylus is always at the precisely correct angle to the
grooves. A potential source of inaccuracy and distortion is thus removed. And
we designed the tonearm system with painstaking attention to detail - a gimbal
suspension system increases sensitivity, and a low-friction slide bearing
reduces vibration and assures precise tonearm transport.
