Electronic Automatic Transcription Turntable
Stereo purists who still claim only a manually-operated turntable can faithfully reproduce disc recordings without strain have some catching up to do. For here is a turntable - a fully automated transcription turntable - which performs with the ease and stress-free operation of a first-class manual but has the convenience and practicality of an automatic as well. The Sansui FR-4060 very efficiently eliminates the one major disadvantage of the complicated :changer-type" turntable by employing a non-mechanical, purely electric device, the galvano-magnetic detection mechanism, to detect the end of a record and prepare the tonearm for automatic operation. It makes it possible for the tonearm to ride completely free of stress-producing mechanical linkage systems until it is time for the automatic lead-in, return, repeat or cut operations to take over. In this way, the stylus is protected from distortion-producing lateral thrust, your records are safeguarded just as they would be on a manual, and since the tonearm is free, it can be moved to any part of the record manually, even during automatic play.
The Frequency Response-4060 features an unusually sensitive S-shaped tonearm, a newly developed Sansui SV27 magnetic cartridge with superb tonal characteristics, a special low-capacitance output cable, floating-mount base and platter design and many other original Sansui quality details. It is also fitted with a connection socket for the Sansui SRC-6 control unit (optional) for full remote-control of all automatic functions.
Those stereo purists who maintain that a manual turntable is the epitome of perfection have only to check out the FR-4060. by adding the convenience of automatic operation to one of the finest precision manuals ever created. Sansui has come up with a turntable to fully satisfy your specific needs.
