Know before you buy
By decoupling your turntable from the surface it sits on, the base absorbs vibrations that would otherwise travel into the tonearm and stylus. This reduction in resonance results in a tighter low end, clearer midrange, and a significant decrease in unwanted skipping.
The 2216W1 features a generous 22-inch by 16-inch surface area, making it compatible with the vast majority of standard and high-end turntables. As long as your turntable's footprint is smaller than these dimensions, it will fit securely.
Yes. The base is equipped with height-adjustable feet, allowing you to level your turntable even if the furniture or shelf underneath is slightly uneven. This is crucial for maintaining proper tracking force and preventing stylus wear.
The 2216W1 is built to support up to 100 pounds. It is robust enough to accommodate heavy-duty audiophile turntables, including those with thick plinths or heavy platter assemblies.
No complex assembly is required. The unit arrives ready to use, and you simply need to place it on your desired surface and adjust the feet to ensure the turntable is perfectly level.
