198210 📃
Large Pioneer turntable catalog, 10 pages, March 1982. Leading the charge is the Artistic Sound series - PL-L1 at ¥200,000, PL-70LII with a carbon fiber tonearm at ¥170,000, and a couple more below. A separate story is the front-loading PL-88F and PL-44F that load records from the front like a cassette deck and stack neatly with other components. The PL-88F is even microcomputer-programmable - up to 8 tracks in any order. Then the main Quartz PLL lineup from PL-570 to PL-240A, the linear-tracking PL-780, and a selection of MC cartridges.
- コンポスタイル - front-loading turntable concept designed to stack with other components like a cassette deck
- Quartz PLL - quartz phase-locked loop for precise platter speed control
- フロントローディング - front-loading record insertion via a motorized drawer tray
- リニアトラッキング - tonearm travels in a straight line like a cutting lathe stylus - zero tracking angle error
- DDモーター - direct drive - motor rotor doubles as the platter
- カーボンファイバー製トーンアーム - carbon fiber tonearm - low mass and high rigidity
- デッキシンクロ - turntable sync with Pioneer cassette deck for automatic recording
