Kenwood's
KP-3021 is a revolutionary automatic turntable. Thanks to the 24-pole
synchronous motor employed exclusively for the arm's operation, all the
automatic functions - auto-play, auto-return, auto-repeat and auto-stop - are
electrically operated. This means KP-3021 has completely overcome the troubles
conventional automatic players often suffer from. Even when you happen to
mistake the handling, KP-3021's fool-proof mechanism won't be out of oreder.
Special
Features
Automatic
Mechanism
A high
quality 24-pole synchronous motor is emplyed exclusively for the arm operation.
This means all the automatic operations are done electrically. Besides the
convenience, Kenwood has brought reliability, smoothness and durability to the
KP-3021. you seldom meet the accidents or troubles in the automatic mechanism.
Even when you mis-handle, neither mechanism nor disc is injured. What is
required to you is to switch on and to
fully rely on the KP-3021.
Automatic
Operations
Auto-play -
Push soft the control panel and the turntable rotates. At the same time the arm
leaves the rest and gently goes down on a disc.
Auto-return
- When the disc playing ends, the arm returns to the rest and the power switch
turns off. No harmful side-force affects on the stylus.
Auto-repeat
- By the slide-type switch the disc playing can be repeated.
Auto-cut -
When you want to discontinue the playing, push the control panel. The arm rises
and returns to the rest.
Disc Size
Selector
According to
the disc on the turntable please set the lever beforehand at either of 30, 25
0r 17. the stylus then sinks accurately on the starting point.
Manual
Operation
By setting
the lever at the position "Manual", the KP-3021 can be operated
manually. For manual convenience the Arm Lifter is attached. Another enjoyment
may be yours through hand-operation.
Belt-Drive
System
For the
drive system Kenwood employs a specially developed 4-pole outer-rotor
hysteresis synchronous motor which provides constant rotation with far less wow
and flutter. In addition, the belt drive system offers superb signal to noise
ratio.
Newly
Designed Pipe Arm
The S-shaped
pipe arm with high sensitivity is used. The built-in lateral balancer will meet
any severe equirement.
