In creating the STR8.150, Stanton went back to basics and re-engineered everything. These “no nonsense” turntables have everything professional DJs & serious Audiophiles need and nothing they don’t. That’s why the STR8.150 are built first, and foremost with quality in mind. Both models offer durable construction designed to minimize feedback, industry-leading torque motor – up to 4.5 Kgf-cm, and an ultra-stable platter and tone arm. And with features like Key Correction, Reverse, up to 50% pitch adjustment, and S/PDIF digital outputs – the STR8.150 is strong contender for the title of Turntable Supreme.
