Luphonic Model H2 Turntable

Concept and materials

The H2 model is a high-quality turntable with belt drive and a tonearm with gimbal suspension. The unusual shape of the turntable was chosen to minimize possible interference from the platter bearing on the tonearm. To avoid sound-disturbing influences from the motor or impact sound, a sandwich construction was chosen, with a layer of vibration-damping foam in the center. The chassis is made of solid surface material with a low resonance, high density and a physical construct ideal for this application. The highly polished surface made with a complex process involving seven (7) grinding and polishing passes impresses with its pleasant feel.

Digital motor control

The low-vibration synchronous motor is supplied with precise sine and cosine waves via microprocessor-controlled motor electronics for smooth running and precise speeds.Decoupled from the turntable and tonearm, the motor control is individually adapted to the respective motor before delivery, avoiding mechanical influences over musical information.

Model H2 Turntable Operation

Contactless and intuitive, with a puck without buttons and switches, it plays either at 33 or 45 RPM controlled by the puck on the turntable. The speed is displayed in easy-to-read red digits. Move or remove the puck stops playback. Wear-free and stops unauthorized use.

Tonearm K2

The redesigned tonearm K2 features a classic gimbal suspension realized by high-quality Japanese precision ball bearings. At the end of the carbon tube sits a head-shell made of special plastic
produced in an additive process, which combines low weight with high rigidity. The tonearm can be easily adjusted in height as well as in azimuth. Anti-skating stainless steel counterweights adjustable in a range between 0.21g and 0.43g, suitable for almost all cartridges.
