Pheonix Engineering Road Runner


This product was very popular when produced by Phoenix Engineering before they went out of business and seems to be even more popular after. My question is why hasn't some other manufacturer made something similar? The demand seems to be there.

The RR is half the battle.  The real benefit is realized when the RR is used in concert with either the Eagle or the Falcon to power the motor.  In that case, the RR feeds back to the power supply and holds speed steady as a rock (once equilibrium is achieved).  The RR alone only monitors platter speed; it does not autocorrect the speed.  If SOTA is going to market the duo, I don't see why you could not use the SOTA product(s) with any 3-phase AC synchronous tt motor.

We have designed a Tachometer that displays RPM to 3 decimal points like the RR and will offer it for sale soon - it will however not communicate with a power source to correct speed issues.  it’s accuracy is 5ppm better than the RR

Good Listening
