For the first time, a spring-suspended sub-chassis with an inner platter driven by a flat belt was used in a mass-produced unit. The principle proved to be very successful and found many imitators in the years since.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLike its famous predecessor, the new Thorens TD 1500, which is operated purely manually, features a sub-chassis that decouples the turntable and tonearm shelf from the motor and frame by means of three conical springs. In contrast to the TD 150, these springs can be adjusted from above through corresponding holes in the platter, which makes correct adjustment much easier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe speed of the DC motor is electronically monitored by an incremental encoder and any deviations are automatically corrected, enabling exceptional wow and flutter values. As a unique selling point in its class, the TD 1500 features XLR outputs in addition to standard RCA jacks, enabling true balanced operation with a suitable MC cartridge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eNEWLY DEVELOPED THORENS TP 150 TONEARM\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe new TP 150 tonearm is similar to the TP 124 used on the TD 124 DD. It has an effective mass of 14 grams, is adjustable in height and azimuth, and is equipped with a standard SME connector so headshells can easily be switched or other cartridges mounted. The anti-skating is set by a sliding weight in the base of the arm, guided over a ruby bearing on a nylon thread.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA high-quality, pre-adjusted 2M Bronze pickup from Danish specialist Ortofon is supplied as standard. It proves to be a perfect playing partner due to its naked diamond with Fine Line cut.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSPECIAL FEATURES\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eSub-chassis with three adjustable conical springs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eBelt drive with polished precision belt\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eMassive 1.4 kg and 22mm-thick die-cast aluminium platter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003ePre-installed Ortofon 2M Bronze cartridge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eElectronically controlled motor with incremental encoder\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eBalanced (XLR) and unbalanced (RCA) outputs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eThorens precision TP 150 tonearm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch1\u003eSPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\n\u003ctable style=\"width: 100%;\"\u003e\n  \u003cthead\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n      \u003cth\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/thead\u003e\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eProduct Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eSub-Chassis Manual Belt-Drive Turntable\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eDrive System\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eBelt Drive (Polished Precision Belt)\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eMotor\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eElectronically Controlled DC Motor with Incremental Encoder\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eSpeeds\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e33-1\/3, 45 RPM (Electronic Switching)\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eSub-Chassis Isolation\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e3 Conical Springs (Top-Adjustable through Platter)\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003ePlatter\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e12\" \/ 1.4 kg Die-Cast Aluminium (22 mm height)\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eTonearm\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eTHORENS TP 150 (J-Shape, Effective Mass 14g, Height \u0026amp; Azimuth Adjustable)\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eTonearm Connector\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eStandard SME Connector (Detachable Headshell)\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eAnti-Skating Mechanism\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eSliding Weight with Nylon Thread on Ruby Bearing\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eCartridge\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eOrtofon 2M Bronze (MM, Nude Fine Line Stylus, Pre-installed)\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eAudio Outputs\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e1 x Balanced Pair (XLR), 1 x Unbalanced Pair (RCA Phono)\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003ePower Supply\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eExternal Power Supply Unit\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eDimensions (W x D x H)\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e420 x 360 x 150 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e7.9 kg\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eIncluded Accessories\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003ePower Supply, Acrylic Dust Cover, RCA Cable, Platter Mat\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eMANUFACTURER SITE\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.thorens.com\/\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eThorens\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Thorens","offers":[{"title":"Walnut","offer_id":52740312891658,"sku":"THORENS-9317","price":1725.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0917\/3283\/6618\/files\/thorens-td-1500-turntable-tp150-2m-32886-p.png?v=1773934884","url":"https:\/\/audioemotion.co.uk\/products\/thorens-td-1500-turntable-tp150-2m-bronze","provider":"Audio Emotion Limited","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
