Key Features

1. Hybrid Chassis for Superior Vibration Suppression

• Constructed with a 36mm MDF baseplate and a 12mm synthetic marble top plate, the hybrid chassis minimizes unwanted vibrations for stable and accurate sound reproduction.
• Japanese washi paper layers enhance sound balance, preserving the natural character of your records without the dampening effects of traditional materials.

2. PRS3 Belt Drive for Unmatched Stability

• The Platter Rotation Sensing Servo System (PRS3) employs an optical sensor to monitor and adjust platter speed with precision.
• Supports 33 1/3, 45, and 78 RPM for playback of modern and vintage records alike.

3. Precision Knife-Edge Tone Arm

• Developed in collaboration with SAEC, the static-balanced S-shaped tonearm features a stainless-steel knife-edge bearing for vertical movement and high-precision ball bearings for lateral support.
• Adjustable Vertical Tracking Angle (VTA) ensures compatibility with various cartridges.

4. High-Quality Acrylic Platter

• The 20mm-thick acrylic platter provides high inertial momentum, reducing vibrations and maintaining precise speed.
• No turntable sheet is required—vinyl records can be played directly for a clear and dynamic sound.

5. XLR Balanced and RCA Outputs

• Features XLR balanced outputs for superior signal transmission, perfect for connecting to external phono stages with balanced inputs.
• Standard RCA outputs and a GND connector are also included for versatile connectivity.
