Damping Of Vibrations Of Record Carriers On Turntables [n: See Provisionally Also G9b/3.095, G9b/3.094 And G9b/17.002; Contains No Documents, See G9b/19.029] {g11b 3/61} Patents (Class G9B/3.096)
Abstract: An improved turntable is described with inherent properties for reducing noise generated by external sources or by the parts of the turntable. The plinth of the turntable is comprised of an elastomeric layer and at least one stiffening layer that adds rigidity to the plinth. The support feet, spindle bearing, and armboard only come into contact with the elastomeric layer, which dampens energy, allowing the turntable produce the audio on the record without excessive noise.
