A folded A3 sheet - the Sony ES Components catalog from December 1985. The center spread presents two complete systems: ES SYSTEM 1 built around the TA-F555ES integrated amplifier (¥99,800) with the ST-S333ES tuner and TC-K555ES cassette deck, and ES SYSTEM 2 centered on the CDP-302ES CD player.
The back page covers the rest of the ES lineup: the TC-WR930 dual cassette deck with auto-reverse, two turntables - the PS-X556ES with a linear tracking arm and the simpler PT-D555ES - the AVH-565ES AV switcher for video components, and the APM-22ES AV speakers with Sony’s proprietary flat APM drivers. The full 1985 ES catalog in four pages.
- APM (Accurate Pistonic Motion) - APM (Accurate Pistonic Motion) - flat alloy diaphragm with uniform piston motion across the entire surface: eliminates parasitic resonances of dome and cone drivers, reduces intermodulation distortion
- リニアトラッキングアーム - Linear Tracking tonearm (PS-X556ES) - the arm travels in a straight radial line exactly as during lacquer cutting: tracking angle error approaches zero, minimal distortion toward the inner grooves
- クォーツロック - Quartz lock - precision motor speed control using a quartz crystal reference oscillator: wow and flutter reduced to a minimum
