Direct-drive turntable

A direct-drive turntable is one of the three main phonograph designs currently being produced. The other styles are the belt-drive turntable and the idler-wheel type.^{[citation needed]} Each name is based upon the type of coupling used between the platter of the turntable and the motor.

Direct-drive turntables are currently the most popular phonographs, due to their widespread use for turntablism in DJ culture.^[1]^[2] Panasonic's Technics series were the first direct-drive turntables,^[3]^[4] and remain the most popular series of turntables.^[1]^[2]
