The base chassis of the M500 record player is made of solid MDF, which provides excellent damping of resonances and external vibrations. The sub-chassis is covered in aluminum and floats on four parabolic springs, completely decoupling the tone arm and platter from the main frame. This ensures accurate and interference-free music reproduction.
The three specially cushioned aluminum feet and the cardanic tone arm mount make leveling the turntable simple and hassle-free. These features ensure easy installation and stable operation, which is essential for optimal sound quality.

The electronically regulated DC motor provides stable speed control and is controlled by a touch switch. The current speed is displayed with an LED indicator, ensuring ease of use and precision during playback of your vinyl collection.
