Pitch control
A variable speed
pitch control (or
vari-speed) is is a control on an audio device such as a
turntable,
reel-to-reel,
tape deck or
CD player that allows the operator to deviate from a standard speed (such as 33 1/3 or 45
rpm in the case of a turntable). The latter term "vari-speed" is more commonly used for tape decks.
