The Townshend Audio Rock 7 turntable features a solid steel plinth supported by three pneumatically damped, sprung feet that isolate vibrations effectively. It incorporates a unique front-end damping trough filled with silicon fluid that damps the tonearm near the cartridge, minimizing interference and enhancing sound clarity. The turntable offers manual speed change for 33 1/3 and 45 RPM with a precision belt drive and a hardened steel bearing.
