Automatic Stereo Turntable System (1977)
The PS-X5 is a 2-speed direct drive turntable with static-balance type tonearm
The crystal lock system maintains the turntable at an accurate nominal speed under voltage or temperature variations or ageing, and shows excellent initial drift and load/speed characteristics.
With a newly developed brushless and slotless motor, the PS-X5 has excellent starting characteristics within a third revolution to 33.33rpm are obtained.
A servo system, which consists of a turntable with a magnetic rim and an 8-pole magnetic pick up head, and the BSL motor free from torque irregularity, assure minimal wow and flutter and a high signal to noise ratio.
