Simple Perfection

The technically significantly improved SE version of the Emotion turntable is based on a semi-transparent chassis designed for extremely low resonance. A 28-millimetre-thick acrylic platter is driven by belt from a decoupled synchronous motor. The patented Ceramic Magnetic Bearing ensures superb wow and flutter values. A resonance-optimised die-cast metal housing protects the drive from detrimental sonic influences. This enables maximum smoothness and vibration-free tracking of favourite records from Abba to Zappa, from Beethoven to Schoenberg.

Precision for Emotion

Via the SATISFY KARDAN CARBON, a clearaudio ARTIST V2 Moving Magnet (MM) cartridge ensures that even the finest information stored in the record groove is read out without loss. This allows even High-End beginners to enjoy playback at original level.
