How to Choose an Electric Turntable?
How to Choose an Electric Turntable?
- Pay Attention to Appearance: Electric turntables come in mushroom-shaped and cylindrical designs. Mushroom-shaped turntables have a larger top cover and a smaller base, making them asymmetrical. Cylindrical turntables have a top cover and base of the same size, making them nearly symmetrical.
- Consider Diameter and Load Capacity: The diameter and load capacity of turntables vary by model. Choose based on the base diameter and weight of the item you want to display. The load capacity indicated by the seller refers to items placed within the turntable’s diameter and not exceeding its marked load capacity. If the displayed item exceeds the turntable’s diameter, the load capacity may decrease. Exceeding the load capacity can affect the turntable’s normal operation, possibly damaging the motor.
- Check Power Supply Options: Turntables primarily have three power supply methods: plug-in, dry battery, and lithium battery, with various combinations of these. Plug-in models require a power source; dry battery models can use either a power source or batteries, but not both simultaneously. When using a power source, remove the batteries. You can charge lithium battery models for use. Some turntables support all three power methods but require battery removal when using another power source.
- Examine Rotational Speed: Turntables come in fixed-speed and adjustable-speed models. If you need a specific speed or want a faster or slower turntable, consult the seller. ComXim Corporation offers various speed options for selection. For example, ComXim’s Fixed-Speed Rotating Display Stand provides a constant rotation speed ideal for consistent displays, while the Adjustable Speed Rotating Display Stand allows you to fine-tune the speed according to your needs.
- Consider Rotation Modes: Turntables offer three main rotation modes: 360-degree continuous rotation, intermittent rotation, and pendulum rotation. The 360-degree rotation continuously spins the turntable; intermittent rotation involves rotating a certain angle, pausing, and then continuing in cycles; pendulum rotation swings the turntable back and forth within a certain angle. Different turntables have different rotation modes, and some may support multiple modes simultaneously. ComXim’s Programmable Turntable models, such as the MTxRLPro series, allow for customizable rotation modes, providing flexibility in display presentations.
- Review Control Methods: The main power can be controlled through the turntable’s main switch. Additional controls for speed, direction, and rotation mode can be managed via buttons, knobs, remote control, USB, or smartphone. For example, ComXim’s MTxDGL series allows direction control via buttons, while MTxMGL and MTxMGEL series allow control of both direction and mode. Some knobs integrate with the power switch. Remote controls manage direction, speed, and mode, though configurations may vary. Turntables can also be connected to a computer or smartphone via USB, WiFi, or Bluetooth, with control through an app. ComXim’s Variable-Speed Rotating Display Stand offers versatile control options, including remote and smartphone app integration, making it convenient for users to adjust settings.
- Music Playback Capabilities: Some turntables support music playback through an SD card or USB drive, with controls via buttons on the turntable. For instance, ComXim’s RMDEL series includes music turntables. If you need WiFi or Bluetooth connectivity for smartphone music playback, some manufacturers can customize these features. ComXim’s Musical Rotating Display Stand is designed to combine visual display with audio playback, enhancing the overall presentation experience.
- Origin Setting Capability: Some turntables allow setting an origin point so they can return to the starting point and stop upon command via remote, smartphone, or computer. ComXim’s MTxRLPro, MTxRELPro, MTxRUBLPro, MTxRUWLPro, MTxRUPSLPro, and MTxRUWSLPro series offer this feature, ensuring precise positioning for repeated presentations.
- Camera/Smartphone Shutter Control: Some turntables connect to a camera via a shutter cable or to a smartphone via WiFi or Bluetooth to control the shutter for automatic focusing and photography. ComXim’s Programmable Turntable series supports shutter control, making it suitable for professional photography sessions where synchronized rotation and capturing are essential.
- Custom Development: Some turntables can be customized for further development, allowing users to modify functions to suit specific scenarios. ComXim’s Programmable Turntable offers a development kit that includes control interfaces like USB, serial port, Bluetooth, and WiFi, making it an excellent choice for users looking to integrate the turntable into complex systems or create tailored functionalities.
- Cost and Functionality: If cost is a concern, consider lower-priced models or bulk purchases. If you prioritize functionality, contact the seller for detailed recommendations. ComXim offers a wide range of turntables from budget-friendly options to high-end models with advanced features, ensuring there is a solution for every need.
