Know before you buy
Yes, it arrives with the Ortofon 2M Red cartridge pre-fitted and aligned. You will only need to complete the basic setup, such as balancing the tonearm and connecting it to your amplifier or powered speakers.
This model features electronic speed control, allowing you to switch between 33-1/3 and 45 RPM speeds with the press of a button. There is no need to manually move the drive belt on the pulley.
Yes, the tonearm is compatible with standard half-inch mount cartridges. While the included Ortofon 2M Red is an excellent performer, you can swap it for other moving magnet cartridges as your system evolves.
To get the best performance, place the turntable on a flat, stable, and vibration-free surface. Because the plinth is made of solid MDF, it is already designed to minimize resonance, but a dedicated audio rack or heavy shelf will provide the best results.
No, the LED lighting is integrated into the turntable's internal electronics. It is powered by the same power supply that runs the motor, so it activates automatically when the turntable is plugged in.
Yes, the acrylic tonearm is engineered for both rigidity and low resonance. It is a high-quality material commonly used in precision audio equipment and is perfectly suitable for regular, careful handling.
