Exceptionally Quiet Design
To capture even the most subtle nuances of the recording and ensure you hear every note, the Dragon’s high-torque AC synchronous motor is housed in a mechanically separate enclosure. This, combined with integrated motor electronics and a unique triple-belt drive system, keeps motor vibrations from entering the audio signal, so all that you hear is the record.
