Braun PS 600
The PS 600 is a direct-drive turntable from Braun's Atelier system. It sits below the flagship PS-1000 in the range and is a more elementary model, but it shares the same clean, Dieter Rams - informed design language. HiFI-Stereo (September 1970, p.22) noted its 11¾-inch platter was driven by a brushless DC motor with electronic speed regulation, a capable setup for its era.
The supplied tonearm is the AT-5. It's a static-balanced design with a knife-edge bearing and a pipe-shaped arm fitted with a plastic headshell. It was developed in cooperation with Shure. Effective length is 222.9 mm, with a mounting distance of 214.2 mm, an overhang of 8.7 mm and an offset angle of 20.0 degrees. Rumble is given as >60 dB, run of 0.08%, and speed drift within ±0.15%. The whole table weighs 15 kg and measures 467 × 150 × 360 mm.
Little is documented about production years or original pricing. It forms part of Braun’s modular Atelier system, alongside related models PS-500, PS-550, and PS-1000.
