Special features of the TW 509 studio: The TW 509 studio is an automatic playback device that can work as a record player and also as a ten-disc changer.
It is a precision device with a high level of operating convenience.
All functions are controlled with just one control lever: start, stop, lift, lower, pause, instant change and repeat.
A light fingertip is all it takes for the tonearm to be lowered or lifted gently into the record groove using a lowering device – as gently as your valuable records require.
However, the tonearm only touches down when there is a record on the turntable.
