TechDAS push back the boundaries of design again with the Airforce V Premium, successfully preserving all “Air Force” technologies in the most affordable model of the line.
The Air Force turntables feature unique and refined “air” technologies which includes our air bearing that allows the platter to flow on a very thin layer of air and mechanically isolates the rotating platter and a record from any vibration, as well as vacuum hold down of an LP onto the platter. With these technologies, the Air Force turntables have distinguished themselves from conventional turntables in terms of sound and performance.
The Air Force V Premium has been developed to deliver another dimension in analog sound, and at the same time be accessible to more analog enthusiasts. The chassis is as compact in size as the Air Force III Premium, and by elaborately reducing motor vibration TechDAS have achieved a successful integration of the motor in the plinth. The result is an even more compact turntable without a separate motor unit that can be fitted with up to four tonearms.
The 2-phase 4-pole AC synchronous motor offers almost the same level of performance as the upper models and is integrated into the main unit with an anti-vibration mechanism optimally designed. The polished drive belt of polyurethane rubber helps achieve a high signal to noise ratio. Furthermore, the chassis with the built-in motor sits on four feet which are based on the air damping approach TechDAS have used successfully in the Air Force III.
