Ideal sound pick-upA vinyl record has more than 600 sound grooves of 120 μ width, with irregular intervals depending on the level of the signal. Therefore, it is important in tracing from the outer to the inner circumference in a stable manner. ・Movement to the next groove should be light and smooth. ・Transmission of only the vibrations emitted by the stylus without any micro vibration. Also, the cutting race is ticked in a straight line during the record production process. So tracing in the same line as that is also ideal to eliminate tracking errors between the outer and inner circumference. |

AFU1-2's conceptIt has a unique air float structure and moves with a force of less than 0.1 g without servo. So it can trace the movement of the stylus tip without missing. It is then traced in a straight line (linear tracking) on the same track as the cutting machine. |
