Lightning Model Turntable Construction

The combination of soft plastic and hard plastic fully reproduces the appearance of the Lightning Model, which is more durable and has an excellent feel.The friction damping of pressing and turning the turntable is consistent with that of an arcade machine. The sensitivity of the turntable has 6 gears for adjustment, which is convenient for you to find the most suitable sensitivity.

The material of the turntable

The arcade EMP turntable solution and the Lightning Model turntable solution will warp after a long time. To this end, we have researched for 3 years and tested hundreds of material combinations to arrive at this remarkable turntable.

The turntable of PHOENIXWAN+ LMT adopts the combination of soft plastic and hard plastic, which will not warp or degumming after long-term use. The fine texture provides excellent sweat resistance, better than both EMP and liquid silicone turntable.

The turntable of the Lightning Model arcade controller is made of 2 layers of material bonded by glue, and it will become warped and degummed after long-term use. The PHOENIXWAN+ LMT turntable is one-piece, completely reliable for long-term use.

Friction resistance of turntable

The comfortable turntable friction resistance can help you find the rhythm of the turntable song quickly, and also get more precise output.

PHOENIXWAN+LMT adopts the friction structure of the Lightning Model arcade controller, which can bring you an arcade feel at home.

Remove the sticker of the magnetic turntable and remove the 4 screws fixing the turntable to facilitate maintenance and adjust the friction resistance of the turntable. Adjust the height of the turntable and the friction plate through the attached turntable heightening plate to achieve different damping effects.

Turntable sensitivity (dead zone) adjustment

Sensitivity is the minimum angle needed to push to trigger the reaction of the turntable in the game. PHOENIXWAN+ LMT provides 6 levels of sensitivity that can be switched. The default value is Level 4.

Press the E1+E3+B1 key to lower the sensitivity, and the E1+E3+B3 to increase the sensitivity. The light bar will indicates the current snesitivity.

① LR2 Mode, Keyboard Mode and Gamepad Button Mode will be more sensitive than other modes.
② If sensitivity level 3 is used in INFINITAS , level 2 is recommended for LR2 and Keyboard Mode and Gamepad Button Mode.
