Tone arm: Anti Skipping Tone arm System, Dynamic Balance Method(max height adjustment 9mm)Power: AC 120V, 50/60 HzA.S.T.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.The brass arm with aluminum cover is used for A.S.T.S . 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.
