A quiet-running synchronous motor with silicone belt is driving a low-resonance platter made from laminated particle board. A motor control with DC power supply minimizes unwanted vibration effectively. The main platter bearing consists of stainless steel spindle and bronze bushing with Teflon bottom to secure low friction. The main chassis is made from lightweight, but very stiff particle board. Essential II utilizes a straight aluminum tonearm design made from a single piece of aluminum with sapphire bearings, which offers a far better plug & play solution, than it's predecessor. Special feet effectively decouples the turntable from the surface.

  • Belt-driven system: Enjoy superior sound thanks to the belt drive, which reduces vibration.
  • Stereo sound: Enjoy sound as it was meant to be heard in full stereo.
  • Plays 33.3 and 45 rpm: Keep your music going with the speeds this turntable offers.
  • Moving Magnet (MM) cartridge: Equipped with a high-performance, high-output moving magnet (MM) stereo phono cartridge.
  • 30 cm platter: This platter size lets you listen to a wide range of records.
