- Key Specs
- Drive Type: Belt drive
- Operation Type: Manual (Automatic turntables move the tonearm into position to begin playing a record and remove it when the record is finished, typically with a single push of a button. Semi-automatic turntables require user interaction to place the tonearm inititally, but will automatically remove it after playback. Manual turntables require the user to place and remove the tonearm as needed.)
- Cartridge Type Included: MM (Moving Magnet) (Phono cartridges translate the grooves in a record into electrical signals to produce sound. There are two main types: moving magnet (MM) and moving coil (MC). Generally, MM cartridges have a robust design and high output levels. MC cartridges have an inverse design of MM that is lightweight and more precise, but usually require a preamp to boost their lower output signals.)

- Wow and Flutter: 0.15 percent (Measures "frequency wobble" or the level of distortion caused by speed fluctuations typically measured at kHz. The lower the percentage, the better the player's ability to sustain proper pitch and avoid distortion.)
- Speed Variation: 33/45 rpm, manual speed change. 78 rpm possible with special pulley (The variance in platter revolutions per minute (RPM), typically asserted as +/- RPM. The smaller the variation in speed, the cleaner the sound and the fewer noticeable differences in pitch.)

Throughout our rich 45-year history, NAD Electronics has been offering high performance turntables at unbelievably stellar prices. A component that critical listeners can applaud for its musical quality, and one that almost anybody can afford, the NAD C 558 is a full-featured, belt-driven model targeted for record enthusiasts everywhere. Pre-fitted with an Ortofon OM10 phono cartridge, the C 558 features a belt drive for maximum noise isolation, as well as a precision AC motor with isolated AC power supply that has universal voltage. Complimented by a glass platter with felt pad, a MDF plinth, and a low resonance dust cover, the C 558 delivers an outstanding listening experience unlike any other.
- SOPHISTICATED TECHNOLOGY: We use a power supply that transforms the AC alternating voltage of your wall socket into a pure DC voltage. We then regenerate the DC voltage into a precise AC voltage that powers a precision clock motor to achieve nearly perfect speed consistency and smoothness.
- QUALITY MATERIAL: The plinth is solid MDF, not the particle board or plastic typically found at this price, and is CNC machined for precision.
- HINGE DUSTCOVER: The dustcover is heavier than most and made from a non-resonant Perspex with a counter-sprung hinge design that allows the cover to remain in almost any intermediate position from open to closed.
