The 5120 incorporates all the vital features of a hi-fi turntable needed to achieve outstanding musical performance. A high quality synchronous motor ensures that the belt driven platter maintains accurate speeds without rumble or flutter.

The platter, a light stamped-aluminum disc, is belt-driven at fixed speeds of 33-1/3 or 45 rpm by a low-speed (360-rpm) synchronous a.c. motor. Speed is changed by a knob on the motorboard that shifts the belt to a different pulley diameter. A thick and unusually heavy rubber mat fits snugly over the platter (the two have a combined weight of 2-1/4 pounds).

NAD’s Dynamic Vibration Absorber (DVA) free floating tonearm counter-weight ensures absolute stylus tracking stability and freedom for muddying resonances.
