stereo turntable THE PLATE, MATERIAL AND SHAPE. ~ CLASSIC HI-FI EQUIPMENT

2017-06-27






The plate is the mechanical element that physically supports the disk and prints a rotational speed of the highest possible accuracy at each instant and over time at the speeds at which it was recorded. If this does not happen, variations of pitch are produced in the music played with respect to the original. If a 33 rpm disc is played at 34 rpm, all frequencies are shifted to treble.


Material of the platter and shape thereof.


The platters are made of iron (iron) or antimagnetic materials (zamag, aluminum). The ferrites have the advantage of presenting a shielding for the pickup cartridge with respect to the dispersion field of the motor and the transformer if it carries it. The antimagnetic platters avoid the interaction of the dispersion field of the phono cartridge magnet on the plate if it were of ferric material.

The platter should oppose to the maximum to the variations of speed, reason why it is very important the effect of steering wheel that can represent its mass. For the above, when talking about a platter, the important thing is not its physical weight (which would give a balance) but the way in which that weight is distributed. What is really important in the platters is the so-called moment of inertia that takes into account the weight and the distance to the center of rotation of that weight.
