Brand: Pioneer
The Pioneer PL-570 is a direct drive turntable model produced by Pioneer Corporation in the late 1970s. Direct drive refers to the mechanism that rotates the platter (the spinning platform where the record rests), which in this case is driven directly by the motor, as opposed to belt drive turntables that use a rubber belt to transmit power. The PL-570 is known for its high-torque motor, adjustable tracking force, and low-vibration design, which helped make it a popular choice for DJs and music enthusiasts at the time. The turntable also featured a tonearm with adjustable anti-skate, and a built-in preamplifier with phono equalization. Overall, the Pioneer PL-570 is a classic turntable that continues to be sought after by vintage audio collectors.
