- Type: Record player
- Years of manufacture: 1980 - 1981
- Made in:
- Color: Metal finish
- Power consumption:
- Dimensions: 420 x 141 x 348 mm (WxHxD).
- Weight:
- Original price approx.: 580 DM
Connections
- Outputs: Cable with 5-pin DIN plug
- Inputs: -
Technical data
- Drive: Belt drive
- Motor: DC motor, controlled via tachogenerator, quartz stabilized PLL control
- Speed: 33 1/3, 45 rpm
- Synchronous speed fluctuations: < 0.05% (DIN), < 0.025% (WRMS)
- Rumble noise ratio: better -50 dB (DIN A), better -73 dB (DIN B)
- Turntable: cast aluminium
- Operating mode: semi-automatic
- Pitch: no
- Tonearm: straight tonearm with detachable headshell; 1/2" mounting for cartridge
- Cartridge: Philips Super M II GP 406 II
Special Features
- 'DIRECT CONTROL' drive system, combining the advantages of belt and direct drive. The belt drive is controlled by a tachogenerator in the drive pulley. This ensures a constant speed even when the load on the drive varies, e.g. due to cleaning brushes, temperature or mains fluctuations.
- Tonearm balance integrated in the locking position socket.
- Adjustable tracking force and antiskating. Separate scales for spherical and elliptical needle grind available for antiskating.
- Sprung sub-chassis with three leaf springs coupled to the frame.
- Photoelectric limit stop
Remarks[edit]
- Identical in construction to Philips AF 887
- The stock headshell has a 1/2" hole spacing but no slotted holes, so only Philips Super M II series cartridges fit accurately. In order to be able to use pickups from other manufacturers, Philips made a 1/2" universal headshell with slotted holes with the order number 4822 402 60627.
- Other models in the same series:
- Grundig PS 2000
- Grundig PS 2500
- Grundig PS 3000
- Grundig PS 3500
- Grundig PS 4000
- Grundig PS 4500
