   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct-drive_turntable

   In a direct-drive turntable the motor is located directly under the center of the platter and is connected to the platter directly. It is a significant advancement over older belt-drive turntables for turntablism, since they have a slower start-up time and torque, and are prone to wear-and-tear and breakage, [5] as the belt would break from backspinning or scratching.

   The drive system designed by Matsushita is direct-drive rather than the more commonly found belt-drive type, a less expensive design. The direct-drive design, which was developed to reduce wow and flutter, produces a very quiet turntable that, for a direct-drive turntable, has minimal motor and bearing noise, (although the bearing rumble does ...

6. Phonograph - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phonograph

   There are presently three main phonograph designs: belt-drive, direct-drive, and idler-wheel. In a belt-drive turntable the motor is located off-center from the platter, either underneath it or entirely outside of it, and is connected to the platter or counter-platter by a drive belt made from elastomeric material. The direct-drive turntable ...

7. Technics (brand) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technics_(brand)

   The name came to wider prominence with the international sales of direct-drive turntables. The first direct-drive turntable was invented by Shuichi Obata, an engineer at Matsushita, [4] based in Osaka. [5] It eliminated belts, and instead employed a motor to directly drive a platter on which a vinyl record rests. [6]
