An orthodox design that primarily emphasizes sound quality by featuring high spinning precision and long-lasting brushless DC servomotor. The AP-30 is complete with a static balance S-type tonearm, a strobe light, and a Phono preamp with built-in ON/OFF switch so that it can be connected directly to a high-level amplifier.
In addition to the strengths of offering high spinning precision and outstanding durability, the custom-built high-torque brushless DC motor is capable of achieving the selected spinning speed quickly.
The strobe light operates in conjunction with the strobe dots on the platter for the user to check if the record is spinning at the right speed.
Operates at various speeds including 33 1/3 rpm, 45 rpm and 78 rpm. The pitch control is not only meant for calibration purposes but also offers more versatility in terms of functionality.
For users without an amplifier with Phono Input, the turntable can be connected via RCA input as well. The ON/OFF toggle on the turntable enables the user to choose if they wish to activate the built-in phono preamp.
The turntable comes with premium Audio Technical cartridge and stylus so that you can immediately play your favorite records and enjoy high quality music without having to look for a suitable cartridge.
The AP-30 features Technics’ classic DJ turntable design and comes at a hefty 9.6 kg weight of quality parts and components to set it apart from other competing products. The special damper design on the isolating feet offer excellent vibration dampening to further improve sound quality.
