TechDAS Air Force IV - New Japanese Turntable
20.05.2025 12:10 | ~1 minute read
TechDAS has unveiled its new Air Force IV turntable. The model uses the company's favorite air bearing and is housed in a compact case.
The TechDAS Air Force IV turntable boasts a number of features that will warm the hearts of audiophiles. The massive platter, machined from A5056 aluminum alloy, provides an extended frequency range and noticeably improved dynamics.
Like other TechDAS Air Force series turntables, the Air Force IV is equipped with an air bearing system that isolates the rotating 9 kg platter, ensuring an exceptionally low noise level. The top of the platter is covered with a special thin damping and anti-static pad that protects the records, and the tapered spindle absorbs record vibrations. The Wow & Flutter does not exceed 0.03%.
The Air Force IV uses a 2-phase, 4-pole AC synchronous motor housed in a separate housing, effectively isolating vibrations and improving the signal-to-noise ratio.
The TechDAS Air Force IV chassis, weighing 21.5 kg, is made of A5052 aluminum alloy and is mounted on four shock-absorbing supports, the design of which uses special damping materials used in the Air Force III Premium S model. The TechDAS Air Force IV supports the installation of up to three tonearms.
