As the first manual REKKORD turntable in the M Series, the brand has set the bar high with the M500. Their intention was to develop a manual platter based on REKKORD's high-tech arms, which combine a basic, heavy chassis with a floating sub-chassis.
Despite its stylish design, the basic chassis has the necessary weight to dampen any type of impact noise and external vibration. The aluminum-covered floating subframe floats on four parabolic springs that decouple it from the rest of the chassis. This ensures additional insulation against external interference.
Three aluminum shock-absorbing feet next to the arm gimbal mount mean that the arm leveler can be dispensed with. Of course, the precise tracking and anti-skating forces of the Rakkord jukeboxes have also been applied to the M500.
So you will get a hassle-free installation.
The M500 is not only attractive on the outside. It is available with a high-quality Ortofon 2M Blue capsule that reproduces every detail enclosed in the vinyls. Vocals and instruments sound even more natural than before. Includes cables, dust cover and adapter for singles.
The MM 2M Blue capsule is audiophile grade and offers a wide and detailed soundstage, with breathtaking clarity.
ULM (Ultra low mass) aluminum arm with self-made gimbal bearing
The solid aluminum platter features an isolating ring that helps dampen all resonances, minimizing wow and flutter.
Resistance tracking force optimizes the center of gravity directly in the center of the bearing
The platter and arm are decoupled from the rest of the chassis using the floating sub-chassis system
The main chassis is made from a single piece of MDF, giving it the perfect resonance damping characteristics naturally.
