C588 - Ortofon 2M Red

Promo

The NAD C 588 is a paragon of advanced technology and precise engineering, designed to make the most of your vinyl collection. The turntable is equipped with a high-performance power supply that converts alternating current into pure direct current, then regenerates it into a precise alternating current. This process drives a precision clockwork motor that provides near-perfect speed consistency and smooth rotation. The motor is isolated from noise and voltage fluctuations that can cause instability, resulting in stable and accurate playback of your records.

Precise Rotation

The C 588 uses a specially developed rubber belt that is ground flat for precision, and a non-resonant subplatter that is precision machined for smooth rotation. These components work together with a brass bearing and hardened steel shaft to ensure stable and accurate rotation of the disc. The result is a detailed and natural sound reproduction that brings your music to life.

High Performance Tone Arm

The tonearm of the C 588 is 9 inches long and offers low tracking distortion while maintaining rigidity and low mass. This is crucial for stabilizing the cartridge and minimizing distortion and wear on your records. With adjustability for Vertical Tracking Force (VTF) and azimuth, the tone arm provides precise tracking of the grooves in your records, resulting in superior sound reproduction.

Superior Construction

The plinth of the C 588 is made of solid MDF, which provides a solid base that minimizes unwanted vibrations. Unlike cheaper materials such as particleboard or plastic, MDF offers a stable and durable structure. The dust cover is made of non-resonant perspex and is heavier than that of most other record players, which contributes to sound quality by reducing external vibrations. The hinge design with counter-suspension allows the hood to remain in any position from fully open to fully closed.

Ortofon 2M Red Cartridge

The C 588 comes with a Ortofon 2M Red cartridge, a high-quality phono cartridge known for its accuracy and clarity. The 2M Red offers excellent balance and detail in sound reproduction, bringing your records to life with rich and dynamic sounds. This cartridge is designed for minimal wear and tear on your records, extending the life of both the cartridge and your vinyl collection.

User-friendly Features

The C 588 was designed with ease of use in mind. The dimmable dot matrix display shows all necessary information, such as track, total playback time, and remaining time. The front panel controls are duplicated on the remote control, allowing you to easily play, pause, skip, and scan. The remote also provides additional features such as RANDOM, PROGRAM, REPEAT, and RPT A-B, further enhancing your listening experience.

Versatile Connectivity

In addition to analog outputs, the C 588 offers both optical and coaxial digital outputs. This makes it possible to connect the turntable to an external DAC or digital component such as an AV receiver. These versatile connectivity options ensure you get the best sound quality from your system, regardless of configuration.
