SME Model 35 Turntable: Redefining Analog Excellence

A New Benchmark in High-End Audio

The SME Model 35 represents the pinnacle of vinyl playback technology, establishing a new reference point in analog audio reproduction. Meticulously engineered as the successor to SME's renowned turntables, the Model 35 incorporates advanced design philosophies derived from the flagship Model 60, delivering extraordinary performance previously unattainable at this level.

Revolutionary Engineering

At the heart of the Model 35 lies a sophisticated tri-column design with decoupled feet featuring multipoint isolation. This innovative architecture provides exceptional stability and vibration control, ensuring that only the music—and nothing else—reaches your ears. The advanced suspension system offers precise vertical and horizontal control, creating a listening environment of remarkable purity.

The Model 35's innovative hydraulic damping system in the main bearing works in perfect harmony with the acoustically enhanced main chassis, sub-chassis, and platter. Each component has been optimized to eliminate unwanted resonances while preserving the natural warmth and detail that vinyl enthusiasts cherish.

The Groundbreaking Series Vi Tonearm

Complementing this extraordinary turntable is the revolutionary Series Vi tonearm. The "i" signifies improvement—representing a significant evolution beyond the acclaimed Series V. CNC machined from High-Density Polymer material with extraordinary precision, this single-cut design achieves tight tolerances that conform to SME's exacting standards.

The Vi tube's circular cross-sectional design delivers an exceptionally low resonance signature with significantly improved tonearm and pillar resonance measurements. This technical achievement translates directly to pure tonal fidelity, revealing nuances in your vinyl collection you've never experienced before.

Precision Performance

The Model 35 features a state-of-the-art electronic speed control system powered by an AC motor with a separate transformer—technology derived directly from the reference Model 60. This sophisticated system ensures perfect speed stability for flawless playback of your most treasured recordings.

Aesthetic Excellence

Available in both standard finishes (Black and Silver Anodised) and special finishes (Midnight Blue and Gunmetal Anodised), the Model 35 is as visually striking as it is sonically impressive. Its modern, sleek profile integrates effortlessly into any high-end audio environment while making a definitive statement about uncompromising quality.

The Ultimate Analog Experience

The SME Model 35 turntable represents the culmination of over 75 years of precision engineering expertise. Each unit is meticulously handcrafted in England to deliver an analog experience that transcends ordinary listening, revealing the full emotional impact and artistic intent behind every recording.

For the discerning audiophile who demands nothing less than perfection, the SME Model 35 establishes a new standard in vinyl reproduction—regardless of price point.
