Woodpecker

Woodpecker 2013

This turntable was developed in response to requests from customers who were looking for 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 platter is made of POM. The motor 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 crystal oscillator to ensure maximum rotational stability. Torque is transmitted via a belt. The bearing is made of high-grade steel. The system’s versatility allows for the installation of almost any tonearm ranging from 9′ to 12′. This is facilitated by a scale printed on the tonearm base. The tonearm base consists of two components (POM and aluminum) that can be slid along the scale. As an option, the turntable is available with a platter featuring additional brass weights that increase its mass.
