ANTI SKIPPING TONE-ARM SYSTEM, TRACING HOLD BALANCE SYSTEM New designed A. S. T. S(Anti Skipping Tone-arm System) and TH(Tracing Hold) balance TONE-ARM system protect skipping performance in hard scratching. And this TONEARM provide adjustment mechanism of tone-arm height which Vestax Turntable series have generally. FAST STARTS BY HIGH TORQUE Using high-torque direct motor, the integral motor delivers 1. 6kg· cm start torque. The high-torque gives quick starts that enables the platter to reach 33-1/3 rpm within 0. 3 second. FLOATING SUSPENSION TONEARM The tone-arm is mounted on the deck plate using a floating suspension system with the drive motor. QUARTZ-PHASE-LOCKED CONTROL The pitch is variable continuously by up to approximately 10% and returned automatically to the predetermined speed (33-1/3 or 45 rpm) by on/off switch even if the pitch control is employed.

S(Anti Skipping Tone-arm System) has been developed with years of experience and a number of trials, searching for the innovative tone-arm for professional DJ's. This system breaks all of the historic common sense, achieving its non skipping performance in hard scratching. A. S. T. S consists of two inventions, short/straight arm and TH (Tracing Hold) balance system. TH balance system gives horizontal movement in addition to vertical. This movement gives much more stable balance (vertical direction) to the needle. The combination of short / straight arm and TH balance system gives the best stability to the needle, which enables anti-skipping in hard scratching. This combination results in the best pick up sensitivity as well as the best resistance to howling. This new tone-arm allowed A. S. T. S to increase the resistance against the howling by over 50% compared to the normal aluminum arm. REMOTE CONTROL It is possible to control two turntables remotely. 1 Prepare for 3. 5mm monaural phone plug cable Turn on Sync ON/OFF SW. 2 Connect REMOTE OUT JACK at the rear panel with another PMC-26 REMOTE IN JACK at the rear panel by using the cable. 3 The player connected at the REMOTE OUT JACK is MASTER of the PMC-26.
