The three motor speeds can be selected with convenient controls on the top at 33 1/3, 45 or 78 rpm. This means that the TURN5 can also play old shellac records with a corresponding mono system (not included). Next to it is the large start/stop button. The general securing mechanism (SME) on the tonearm allows for quick and easy headshell replacement. Additionally, with the provided counterweight, a whole range of cartridges can be used, as it supports heavier tracking forces. At the back of the TURN5, there is a gold-plated pair of phono outputs (RCA) with a separate grounding connection to avoid any interference. The terminal for all cable connections has been placed in a recess to provide as much protection as possible.
