MODEL 8

MODEL 8

   The Model 8 is more than just a turntable; it is an engineering masterpiece in its class. With an impressive 40% increase in mass compared to the Model 6 series, this turntable offers extreme stability and resonance control in its category. The chassis is a CNC-machined frame made of a unique high-density polymer and resin, ensuring high mass, compact size, and excellent resonance absorption. The main bearing, motor pulleys, and subplatter are precision-machined in accordance with the standards of all SME high-end turntables. A new generation of highly advanced electronic speed control circuitry ensures precise speed regulation over a wide range. Machined aluminum trim mounted on isolation feet completes the look.
The Model 8 turntable is equipped with the excellent SME 309 tonearm and comes standard with Crystal Cable internal wiring. It is available in three finishes: traditional SME Black, White, and Midnight Blue, each with contrasting accents.
