Technics SL-5300

2-Speed Direct-Drive Automatic Turntable System (1978-1979)

Description

The Technics SL-5300 features a high-performance electronic circuit and full-cycle detection frequency generator with quartz phase-locked control for superior rotational characteristics.

Based on an electronic circuit composed of 3 kinds of highly integrated ICs developed for the SL-1400mk2 series and full cycle (360 degrees) detection frequency generator, the quartz locked system with a crystal oscillator as its standard has been adopted.

For best utilisation of the high accuracy crystal oscillator, the detection range is effective through 360 degrees due to the full cycle frequency generator of the motor stator for detection of speed with a consequent extremely stable rotational accuracy.
