FEATURES
Linear Tracking Straight Arm
Employing a linear tracking arm that boasts a
horizontal tracking error angle of within +0.15°,
offset angle and inside force of "0", the PX-2
features reproduction of clearer sounds with less
distortion than conventional Swing type tonearms.
And because of its tonearm height adjusting
mechanism, it enables stroke changes within
+4mm, and accepts practically all kinds of
cartridges currently available on the market.
Fully Automatic Control Mechanisms
By intergrating the disc-size selector with the
PLAY switch of the turntable, the unit is provided
not only with automatic control functions that
enable one-touch AUTO LEAD-IN, AUTO-RE-
TURN and REPEAT play, but also with manual
control functions that enable speed change, CUE-
ING UP, CUEING DOWN and LEAD-IN and
LEAD-OUT without opening the dust cover,
Quartz Oscillator Phase-Locked Turntable
The speed of revolution of the DC 4-phase,
8-pole careless Hall motor (Starting torque: Not
less than 1 kq-cm) is locked by a PLL (Phase
locked loop) mechanism, which uses the oscillat-
ing frequency of a quartz crystal oscillator as
its reference frequency. Freedom from tempera-
ture- and time-induced drift and temporal changes
ensures, stable and powerful rotation of the
turntable with speed accuracy as high as +20 ppm,
or better. When steady rotation of the platter is
achieved, the LOCKED indicator lights up to indi-
cate phase-lock.
Heavyweight Platter and Mat
This platter, which measures 31 cm in diameter,
weights 2.1kg and has a moment of inertia of 270
kg-cm" (both figures including the rubber mat),
Wow and flutter have been suppressed to the
minimum and smooth rotation ensured.
Heavyweight Cabinet and Dust Cover
The cabinet is made of 5 mm-thick aluminum
diecast panels featuring high rigidity. The heavy-
weight-class body weights 17 kg in total.
The dust cover is made of 5 mm-thick, 1.3 kg. This
design protects the turntable unit from harmful
external vibrations and provides resistance against
'howling' (acoustic feedback from speakers).
Other Features
Other features include a constant-voltage power
circuit providing sufficient allowance and operat-
ing properties. In addition, the PX-2 has been
designed to provide the user optimum ease of use,
with many features exclusive to Yamaha. At
Yamaha, we're always a few steps ahead of other
audio makers.
