Analog Solutions – The Q Turntable
 
The Q Turntable is a revolutionary achievement in analog playback, setting a new standard for precision and performance in high-mass turntable design. As the world’s first turntable to integrate both belt drive and direct drive mechanisms, The Q combines tradition with innovation to deliver uncompromised audio fidelity. Every element has been meticulously engineered for absolute purity in sound reproduction.
 
Unmatched Bearing Accuracy
 
At its core lies a horizontal and vertical air bearing with concentric accuracy of just 0.1 μm. Paired with a manually adjustable Delrin axis, resonances are minimized to ensure the cleanest, most faithful playback possible.
 
Vibration-Free Sub-Chassis
 
The sub-chassis is supported by aperiodic pneumatic dampers, fully isolating the playback system from external vibration and interference. This foundation creates an acoustically neutral platform for uncompromising clarity.
 
Advanced Dual-Platter System
 
The Q employs a two-part platter system:
A 5 kg POM top platter, nearly fully decoupled using precision spikes.
A 16 kg sandwich-constructed bottom platter, engineered with multi-compound mass to eliminate drive-induced disturbances.
 
Together, they deliver flawless cartridge performance and stability.
 
Tonearm Versatility
 
Designed for ultimate flexibility, The Q supports up to three tonearm bases. Each base is decoupled from the sub-chassis using horizontal spikes for rock-solid stability. Unused bases can be covered with matching top plates, preserving the turntable’s elegant aesthetic.
 
Precision Hybrid Drive System
Belt Drive: Driven by a 16.8 cm flywheel pulley for ultra-smooth playback.
Direct Drive: Featuring a pole jitter-free torque motor with integrated air bearing—a world-first innovation.
 
Laser-Perfect Speed Control
 
The direct drive system utilizes 18,000 laser measuring points, corrected in real time by a high-speed axis generator with 50x interpolation per microcontroller. This allows for up to 900,000 corrections per LP revolution, achieving absolute speed stability and accuracy.
 
Benchmark Wow & Flutter
 
The Q achieves industry-leading performance:
0.01% wow and flutter in direct drive mode
0.03% wow and flutter in belt drive mode
 
A New Era of Analog Playback
 
Every component of The Q is resonance-optimized and reflection-free, ensuring nothing interferes with your music. With its groundbreaking hybrid drive, unrivaled speed control, and vibration-free design, The Q redefines what a turntable can achieve—delivering vinyl playback at the absolute pinnacle of analog sound.
