The Pioneer PL-570 BK is a fully automatic direct drive turntable that was developed in the late 1970s to early 1980s. This model features a high-torque motor system that provides stable and reliable speed for optimal playback of vinyl records. Its design incorporates a heavy, damped base that reduces resonance and vibration, contributing to clearer sound quality. The turntable comes equipped with a precision S-shaped tonearm, which offers excellent tracking capabilities and compatibility with a wide range of cartridges. Additionally, the PL-570 BK includes an automatic return feature that allows the tonearm to return to its resting position after playback, enhancing convenience for users. Inputs for both phono and line levels are supported, making it versatile for different audio setups. For ease of use, the unit typically has a set of controls for speed change, start, stop, and cueing. The aesthetic design features a sleek black finish, complemented by a dust cover that protects the turntable from debris when not in use.
