Know before you buy
The mag-lev platter assembly significantly reduces mechanical noise and friction by minimizing physical contact. This results in a quieter noise floor, allowing for greater detail and clarity in your music playback.
The Eclipse package utilizes a 3-phase AC synchronous motor paired with advanced speed control technology. It offers precise adjustments down to .01 RPM and maintains frequency accuracy within .003%, ensuring consistent pitch and timing.
The aluminum sub-chassis provides a rigid, vibration-resistant foundation for the tonearm and platter. By isolating these components from external resonance, it helps produce a more musical sound with defined lows and crisp highs.
The four-point suspension is designed for stability and isolation, but like any high-end suspended turntable, it may require occasional leveling during initial setup. Once balanced, it effectively decouples the platter from the environment to prevent feedback.
Yes, the SOTA Cosmos Eclipse power supply is compatible with both 120V and 240V systems. This makes it a versatile choice for international use without needing external voltage converters.
The optional vacuum hold-down system flattens warped records against the platter, ensuring a consistent interface between the vinyl and the mat. This improves tracking accuracy and helps eliminate resonance caused by air pockets under the record.
