Avid Ingenium

The Ingenium is typically sold as a turntable chassis, allowing you to select and mount a tonearm that best suits your cartridge preferences. Its design is flexible enough to accommodate a wide range of high-quality tonearms, including higher-priced models.

The turntable can be configured to support two tonearms simultaneously. This is particularly useful if you want to switch between different cartridges—such as a dedicated mono cartridge and a stereo one—without needing to swap headshells or realign your setup.

The tuned elastomer suspension is engineered to isolate the platter and tonearm from external room vibrations. By decoupling the playing surface from the base, it helps maintain a clean, stable signal that prevents feedback and distortion.

The Ingenium is a fully manual turntable. You will need to lift and lower the tonearm onto the record yourself, and the platter will continue to spin until you manually switch it off using the rocker switch on the power cord.

No, the Ingenium does not feature pitch control. It is designed for high-precision speed stability, ensuring your records play back at the correct speed consistently without the need for manual adjustment.

Like most belt-drive turntables, you should periodically inspect the drive belt for signs of wear or stretching. Keeping the spindle and bearing clean and properly lubricated, as per the manufacturer's guidelines, will ensure the motor continues to operate with its intended torque and stability.
