JVC VL-8
4 Channel Ready Manual Turntable (1972)
Description
The JVC VL-8 is a top-performing, precision, 2-channel turntable designed for tomorrows world of 4-channel stereo.
The key to its professional standard is its built in DC brushless servo motor, destined for a longer and more useful life.
Wow and flutter is reduced to less than 0.05% in the VL-8, and its signal to noise ratio is better than 60dB
The unit's outer rotor motor provides for fine adjustment of revolution speed through a built-in stroboscope.
Further qualifying this precision model for the future of 4-channel stereo is a universal tonearm that is statically balanced for stable tracking at light stylus pressure, plus an anti-skating device.
All that's required to convert it to a discrete 4-channel stereo capability while retaining 2-channel compatibility is the JVC 4MD-10X phono cartridge and the 4DD-10 demodulator.
