Know before you buy
Yes. The system features proprietary Isogroove™ technology, which physically isolates the turntable from the speakers to prevent vibrations and acoustic feedback, allowing you to place the unit anywhere without compromising sound quality.
It is compatible with 33 1/3, 45, and 78 RPM records. The included Ortofon OM2 Silver cartridge is well-suited for standard LPs, though you may need to swap the stylus if you frequently play 78 RPM shellac records.
Absolutely. The Model One includes both analog and digital inputs, allowing you to connect external sources like a CD player or streamer. It also features Bluetooth 4.2 with APT-X for high-quality wireless streaming from your phone or tablet.
Yes, the system is designed to be expandable. You can connect an external powered subwoofer to the dedicated output if you want to add more depth to the low-end frequencies.
As a belt-drive system with a high-quality carbon fiber tonearm, it requires minimal maintenance beyond keeping the stylus clean and the acrylic platter dust-free. The Ortofon cartridge is user-replaceable when the stylus eventually wears out.
The Air Motion Transformer tweeters provide a more detailed and expansive high-frequency response compared to traditional dome tweeters. This results in a clearer, more open soundstage that brings out subtle textures in your music.
