Concept Black AiR Turntable

The Concept turntable sets a new standard in turntable manufacturing. Precision German engineering combined with the latest technology and timeless design signal a new era in analog playback. The Concept is equipped with the innovative Verify tonearm, which features a friction-free magnetic bearing technology. A high-quality Clearaudio moving magnet (Concept MM) or moving coil (Concept MC) cartridge can be pre-mounted and factory-adjusted to complete this setup. The Concept is belt-driven by a low-noise, decoupled DC motor built into the resonant-optimized plinth, resulting in an attractive, small-footprint design that doesn't require the buyer to find a place for an outboard motoror even a motor placed in a hole in the plinth"(Michael Fremer, Stereophile, June 2011). The platter is made of 30mm-thick polyoxymethylene(POM), an engineering thermoplastic used in precision parts that require high stiffness, low friction, and excellent dimensional stability. The Concept plays at three speeds 33rpm, 45rpm, and 78rpm selectable by Electronic Speed Control knob.
