Model 30

The Model 30 delivers an outstanding performance and for many years was considered to be the world’s reference standard turntable. This accolade is achieved from an ingenious design, precision engineering, intelligent damping and fundamental physics. The net result of the immense care taken in the design and execution of these components is the Model 30, audio engineering excellence evolved over six decades.

The Model 30 is effortless in controlling and managing vibration, resonance, mechanical energy and electrical fields. Weighing over 42kg it is significant in relation to its size and density. The main and sub-chassis’ resists flexing at low frequencies whilst high frequency resonance is attenuated by efficient extensional damping.

The outstanding performance Model 30 is available with or without a tonearm.

The tonearm version is the SME Series V with contrasting Silver Printed Detail and Crystal Cable internal wiring.

Model 30/12

The Model 30/12 and Series V-12 tonearm offers over 30% better performance than the Model 30.

With a bigger footprint and weighing over 50kg it is significant in relation to mass and density. This heavier mass and the advantages of the 12-inch tonearm in managing angular error distortion makes the Model 30/12 the ultimate Model 30. The net result being an outstanding performance of detail, resolution and neutrality with a dynamic range that does justice to the original sound.

Model 30/12 is available with or without a tonearm.

The tonearm version is the SME Series V-12 with contrasting Silver Printed Detail or Gold Printed Detail and Crystal Cable internal wiring.
