The TechDAS Air Force III Premium S builds on the popular Air Force III Premium by adding newly designed suspension feet with gel-based isolation for enhanced vibration control and installation flexibility. It uses a unique air bearing technology allowing the 29kg gunmetal platter to float silently, isolated from chassis vibrations. A vacuum hold-down system gently flattens LPs to improve cartridge tracking without damaging records. The belt-driven AC synchronous motor is controlled by two 150W DC amplifiers for precise speed (33.3/45 rpm) with wow & flutter below 0.03%. The compact aluminum chassis supports up to four tonearms (9-12 inches). It includes separate main/motor unit and pump/power supply/air condenser unit. Total weight exceeds 55kg, providing exceptional stability and performance rivaling higher-end models.
