Acutus Dark Iron Turntable

The turntable utilizes a 3-point spring suspension system tuned to specific frequencies—2.5Hz vertically and 4.5Hz laterally. This design effectively isolates the platter from external vibrations and footfalls, ensuring the stylus tracks with maximum stability and minimal background noise.

No, the turntable is designed to accommodate various tonearms. It features an SME-style fitting, and adapter options are available to ensure compatibility with a wide range of high-performance tonearms.

The DSP unit provides precise regulation of the 24V AC synchronous motor, ensuring consistent platter rotation speed. This level of control is essential for maintaining accurate pitch and timing, which contributes to the turntable's signature rhythmic precision.

The inverted bearing uses a tungsten carbide and sapphire thrust point to reduce friction and mechanical noise. By placing the contact point at the top of the bearing housing, the design achieves superior stability and longevity compared to traditional bearing systems.

The unit measures 460 x 400 x 210mm and weighs 19kg. Due to its substantial mass and suspension requirements, you should ensure your equipment rack or shelf is sturdy, level, and provides enough clearance for the height of the chassis.

The twin belt drive system works in tandem with the integrated motor to maintain consistent torque and belt alignment. This setup minimizes speed fluctuations and wow and flutter, resulting in the tight, detailed bass response and high clarity the Acutus series is known for.
