Prototypes of the new models were displayed at the show.

Please find attached the photo of the prototype unit of Air Force V.
Details of this new model will be provided in the future but the major
features are as follows:

- A compact model with an on-board motor contained in the main chassis.
- A heavy platter made of aluminum alloy.
- A belt drive turntable (sub-platter driven system)

For Air Force Two Premium and Air Force III Premium, please refer to
the attached News Release for photos of the prototype units and new

Note: The Air Force V, Air Force Two Premium and Air Force III Premium
on the photos are prototypes and the cosmetics will be more refined in
production units.

AIR FORCE ZERO

Following Munich High End 2017 and the new LA Audio show 2017, we
demonstrated the Air Force Zero Engine (new motor) and Tungsten Upper
Platter at the Tokyo show. These items have been exclusively developed
for the new Zero model.

We are aiming to introduce a prototype Air Force Zero complete system at
Munich High End 2018. Please do look forward to that.

Please feel free to let me know if you have any question.

Best regards,

I do know the Air Force 3 Premium will definitely come with a black plinth. Looks really good. I reserved a unit from the first run already. Shipping some time 2nd quarter. Final MSRP announced a bit before then.
