Οι πωλήσεις του βινύλιου έχουν αρχίσει να αποκτούν ξανά υψηλά νούμερα στην μουσική αγορά με αποτέλεσμα την εμφάνιση νέων μοντέλων πικάπ. Η εταιρεία MAG-LEV Audio έχει σκοπό να συνδυάσει την κομψότητα των πικαπ με την technology of magnets offering for the first time a machine where the platform will be suspended in the air.
Η MAG-LEV Audio has the plans to build a turntable where the magnet plate will literally float while simultaneously spinning with 33,3 or 45 turns the minute, thus completely eliminating any vibration from the rotation mechanism to the head spike.
When the turntable is not in use then four legs will be raised and support the turntable. MAG-LEV Audio also quite rightly includes a seamless system supply energywhich is capable of removing the needle and lifting the legs in the event of a power failure. As for the head, he uses an Ortofon OM 5E and a Pro-Ject 8.6 tonearm.
The first overhead turntable, while amazing as a concept, is also the first product of silver company MAG-LEV Audio, which is trying to find financing through the kickstarter, so it is a good idea to first wait for it to be built and tested by several experienced users of sound reproduction machines.
Its kickstarter price starts at $ 780 if you prepay it and is estimated to go up to $ 1390 at the retail level. The company hopes to bring it to store shelves in August of 2017.
