May 9, 2001Stanton introduced the latest in its line of professional straight tone arm turntables. The STR8-100 turntable features Stanton’s highest torque direct drive motor to date, as well as many features favored by today’s professional DJ’s.
The STR8-100 is Stanton’s first super high-torque professional turntable. Like all the STR8 (pronounced straight) Series turntables, the STR8-100 comes with a straight tone arm, which virtually eliminates skipping.
One of the many features of the STR8-100 is the Digital Output (S/PDIF), which allows you to plug your turntable into your computer and sample away! The Key Adjust (aka master tempo) keeps the pitch at zero while the platter speed is changed using the pitch fader. There is also a Line Input Master, a built-in 3.5mm input jack allowing you to plug your portable CD, MD, or MP-3 directly into the body of the turntable.
Some of the other features included in the STR8-100 include a reverse switch (allowing you to spin backwards), selectable pitch adjustment (up to +/- 25%), selectable speeds (33, 45, and 78 rpm), brushed aluminum chassis and aluminum platter, height adjustable tone-arm and adjustable feet, blue LED’s and blue strobe indicator, target light and a free slip mat.
The ST-100 is the "S" tone arm version of this turntable for those who prefer a curved tone-arm.
Suggested retail price of the STR8-100 and ST-100 is $799. For more information, visit their web site at www.stantonmagnetics.com. |
