Fierbird

Firebird 2013

A turntable with a classic design. The turntable’s chassis is made of layers of MDF and aluminum. The aluminum is anodized in black or silver. The entire unit is precision-machined using CNC. The turntable platter is made of POM. The standard configuration includes an inertia platter with additional brass cylinders. Arranged symmetrically around the circumference, they increase the platter’s mass, improving rotational stability. They also influence the sound, making it more coherent and detailed, with a much better-defined low-frequency range. The motors and control system are mounted inside the chassis. To prevent the transmission of vibrations, the drive components are mounted on rubber dampers. Control is handled by a microprocessor-based system with a quartz oscillator to ensure maximum rotational stability. Torque is transmitted via a belt. Three motors are used for the drive. The bearing is made of high-grade steel. The turntable’s design allows for the simultaneous mounting of two tonearms. The “standard” mounting point accommodates tonearms ranging from 9 to 14 inches. A second mounting point accommodates tonearms ranging from 9 to 12 inches. Installation and adjustments are facilitated by a scale printed on the tonearm base. The tonearm base consists of two components (POM and aluminum) that slide along the scale.
