A new benchmark in analog sound. Driven by TechDAS'
innovative 'air' technologies, this turntable realizes our
vision of ultimate analog reproduction
The TechDAS Air Force turntables feature unique pneumatic
technologies including air bearing that absolutely isolates the rotating
platter and the record from any vibration. Additionally, our vacuum LP
hold-down system clamps an LP onto the platter. With these “air”
technologies, the Air Force turntables achieve an unparalleled sound
quality, compared to conventional analog turntables.
Today we believe analog sound must evolve beyond its past forms, aer
more than 30 years of the digital era. Our pursuit of superior analog
sound seeks to push the boundaries of sound-to-noise ratio, drawing
inspiration from advancements in modern digital audio. TechDAS
technologies deliver cutting-edge analog sound, redefining
performance with precision and innovation.
Elevating the Entry-Level Experience with Core Air Force
Technologies
Features a Precision Machined One-Piece Platter,
a hallmark of our higher-end models
The Air Force IV is a model uniquely packaged for a higher level of
listening experience compared to the popular entry model, Air Force V
Premium. While minimizing increase in footprint, Air Force IV has a low
vibration, 2-phase 4-pole AC synchronous motor, which is separated
and isolated from the main chassis as in the upper models. The drive
belt is a 4mm flat belt in width; the same one used in the upper
models. Made of surface polished polyester fiber, this belt ensures
stable rotation and quickly brings the heavy platter to a rated speed.
By driving the platter with a separated motor unit, it realizes an
extremely high signal-to-noise ratio.
The Air Force IV sits on four suspension feet incorporating specialized
damping materials as the Air Force III Premium S, so that it optimally
blocks external vibrations and provides an excellent vibration proof
property. Despite its compact body, it can accommodate up to three
tonearms.
Benefitting from various technologies developed for its upper models,
the Air Force IV realizes high-resolution sound imaging and enhanced
sound quality while remaining compact in size.
The Air Force IV turntable employs a heavy-weight one-piece platter
machined from solid A5056 alloy while the entry model, Air Force V
Premium uses a dual platter system. The result is overall improvement
in sound quality such as an extended frequency range and noticeably
enhanced dynamics. Combined with our air bearing system, the 9kg
platter allows for an extraordinary low noise floor. Its tapered spindle
absorbs any swaying of an o%-center LP. On top of the platter is
applied a special thin pad made of a damping and antistatic material
to protect records.
