Despite being our entry level model, Diva II shares the design philosophy and key elements of our more expensive designs.
Mechanical energy transmission away from the record, high torque motors and isolation is our philosophy with high standards of engineering and design.
The foundation of the Diva II is the same ultra rigid, one piece aluminium casting used for our other models. The arm and platter are mounted to this using the same sapphire bearing and clamping system as our other turntables. The vibration caused by the cartridge during replay is effectively channelled to this main chassis. Platter construction is MDF with the same mat as the Volvere and Sequel models, ensuring an impedance miss-match with the record and with the aid of the clamp reduces energy entering the platter avoiding sound colourations.
Isolating the main chassis is critical to ensure low colloration and here we have employed a triple elastomer layer system using our uniquely tailored sorbathane compound as used in our Isolating Support Platform
, giving optimum mechanical isolation of the playing surface, resulting in better information retrieval and resolution.
The external power supply feeds a powerful motor to give excellent speed stability and dynamic sound.
Beautifully finish with minimalist styling, a timeless piece of engineering excellence and design within the reach of everyone.
