• The sub-chassis turntable for the 21st century

The transparent acrylic chassis with three individually height-adjustable TPE-damped aluminium cone feet is the basis for the motor and sub-chassis. The sub-chassis is made of Corian and rests on three magnetic fields. The magnetic suspension of the sub-chassis even surpasses the sound quality of the high-quality conventional construction with metal springs. A synchronous motor drives the turntable via an external drive belt. The motor is controlled by a sine wave generator, which ensures perfect synchronisation and enables electronic speed switching between 33 and 45 rpm.

The resonance-optimised turntable is a sandwich construction consisting of a finely balanced turntable made of MDF and a 4mm thick vinyl platter. A screw clamp reliably fixes the record. The inverted platter bearing consists of an upright stainless steel axle with a ceramic ball on which a bushing with a ceramic bearing base rotates.

The medium-weight tonearm is perfectly suited for any type of cartridge. The conical tonearm tube and the headshell are made of one piece of carbon fibre, thus showing high stiffness and low resonance. Ball bearings in ABEC 7 quality allow the arm tube to move almost without mechanical inhibition. The stylus can thus follow the record groove unhindered. 

The included Pro-Ject Connect it Phono RCA-E tonearm cable guarantees the best signal transmission. A hinged, transparent dust cover is also included.

Drive
