Direct drive turntables
prices on 26 models
— in turntables with this type of drive, the disc is mounted directly on the motor shaft. This allows for very fast acceleration and deceleration, as well as the use of various special tricks, making direct drive a DJ turntable almost a must. However, such a design puts forward special requirements for the quality of electric motors, since. any irregularities and vibrations noticeably affect the sound quality. Therefore, direct drive is rarely used in "audiophile" models — in the absence of obvious advantages over belt transmission, the design turns out to be noticeably more expensive.
