A.S.T.S. The most revolutionary invention in 50 years of turntable history. |
| The A.S.T.S. (Anti Skipping Tone-arm System) has been developed through years of experience and research into developing an innovative tone-arm for professional DJs. This system breaks all historic practice in achieving our goal of non-skipping performance in hard scratching. | | A.S.T.S. consists of two inventions, short/straight arm and TH (Tracing Hold) balance system. | PVT-e2 Pivot table. The new concept in turntables utilising the unique "Active-balanced A.S.T.S". | | When Vestax pioneered the ASTS and TH systems, a challenge was put out to the R&D team to make a turntable that could function at different angles. The team finally came up with a design for the Active Balanced ASTS system, which could allow the needle to track accurately at several angles. The PVT-e2 is also equipped with a powerful motor, variable speed settings, pitch control, heavy duty ASTS tone arm with Tracking Hold, quartz lock and start stop functions. | | The system is so reliable that even hard scratching is possible at any angle setting. | | The difference between a static balance system (horizontal turntables) is that an Active Balance system uses a special spring that compensates for the change in the gravitational force working against the tone arm. | | In 1999, the Vestax R&D team moved away from convention and brought us the ASTS-Anti Skip Tone arm System. This coupled with a further development called TH-Track Hold-means that external forces that often cause the needle to skip/jump are reduced considerably. | | The Pitch control fader also gives you a further +/- 10% control over the platter speed. The platter can be set to play at 45 or 33 1/3rpm. | | Features: | | Swings backward or foreward 36 degree | First 3 Dimension DJ turntable player | Eye catcher in every club and discotheque | ASTS Anti Skipping active-balanced Tonearm System | Anti feedback cabinet special designed for DJ use | Fine pitch control fader |
