PRECISION SPEED REGULATION FOR ACCURATE PLAYBACKMasterDeck excels with its sensor-regulated motor, a testament to its engineering prowess. Equipped with a three-phase brushless AC drive, it achieves unparalleled stability and precision in rotational speed. The design of the motor, isolated to prevent interference, is key to its ability to produce clear and accurate sound.
