Consider the
Sony Audio PS-X70 turntable. Think of it as a professional transcription
turntable, for home use. At a price your audio conscious home can afford.
Think about
two discrete servo-controlled motors. One for the platter, another for the
tonearm.
And while
you're thinking about Sony's hesitation-free BSL motor. No brushes. No slot.
And absolutely no cogging. Just even, iniform rotation. Hour after hour. Year
after year.
Our own
quartz-locked magnedisc servo control system makes Sony direct-drive turntables
immune to voltage fluctuations. It takes servo control to a new level of
accuracy, by measuring turntable speed at the outer rim of the platter - not at
the motor.
There's more
you sholuld know; front-mounted feather-touch controls, electro-magnetic
braking, special four-clamp head-shell connector, even resonance-free SBMC
cabinet with flui-filled feet to eliminate acoustic feedback.
But perhaps
the most amazing thing about our PS-X70 is that it's not alone.
It's just
the top of our line. A whole line of new Sony Audio turntables, most of which
have most of the features we've listed here.
And every
one is designed as a system. With electronic, megnetic, and mechanical
technologies contributing to a balanced level of audio performance no single
innovation could achieve. We know about turntable innovation. We paractically
wrote the book. Direct drive, servo control,Quartz lock, carbon fiber tonearm,
Sony gave you then all. Long before almost anyone knew they existed. But we
also know that innovation alone can't make a great audio component. Sound makes
a great audio component.
