Bergmann Audio Magne Turntable and Turntable System
Magne Turntable System is Bergmann Audio’s airbearing turntable system with Magne linear tracking airbearing tonearm.
Magne means “strength”. In Nordic mythology Magne is the super baby, son of Thor, the God of Thunder, and when he is three days old he is so strong that he can lift a dead giant away from his father, who is pinned underneath. Magne is one of the few gods, who survive Ragnerok, the nordic armageddon, and rebuilds the new world.
Magne turntables include:
Magne Turntable System – Bergmann high end solution, a fully airbearing turntable with a linear tracking airbearing Magne tonearm
The platter – centred by a spindel – floats on an air film. Magne turntable system is extremely simple to adjust and operate. The airsupply is equiped with condence- and dustfilters, and reservoirs to obtain dry, clean and smooth airflow. Further more the air supply is so noiseless, that it can be placed in the listening room.
Airsupply
The air pump must deliver an even, clean and dry air flow. The impulses from the pump are absorbed in an encapsulated reservoir. This results in an even airflow to the air bearing and tonearm. The air supply is mounted with a filter, which prevents dust particles in entering the system. This filter is replaceable when necessary. The pump is an oil free, long life unit, which do not require much maintenance.
Magne Linear tracking airbearing tonearm
In the design of the tonearm, we stay to our idea of simplicity: As few parts and assemblies as possible, to avoid resonances. The armtube is traditional for Bergmann tonearms- well considered construction in few parts, made as a double tube construction, with damping in between the tubes. All parts are assembled by 2 component epoxy – simple and vibration free design to secure as pure and coherent reproduction.The tonearm wire is- as usual in Bergmann tonearms- in one lenght from cartridge clips to the connector. These minimalistic design features makes an optimum signal transmission, from the stylus tip to the phono stage, and leads to an unmatched transparent and spaciousness sound stage with the right timbre and musical informations. Counterweight is decoupled from the arm- again to avoid any resonances. In addition, the set-up of the tangential tonearm is entirely uncomplicated, and probably the easiest tonearm to set up.
Magne ST is a linear tracking airbearing tonearm with air supply. Offered in black/silver.
System includes power supply, and a RCA/XLR/DIN connector.
Available Finish for Turntable
The Magne turntable standard finish is black velvet silver. Also available in black velvet black , white velvet silver, and white velvet anthracite for a nominal additional charge.

“Schallplatten tangential abzutasten ist mitunter ein schwieriges Unterfangen. Der dänische Hersteller Bergmann zeigt, dass es so einfach wie elegant geht”

“Oscar Wilde is also quoted as saying ‘I have the simplest tastes. I am always satisfied with the best.’ I could not agree more. Bergmann Audio designs and manufactures world class turntables. And now, through patience, passion and kindness, their Magne is the new Audiophilia reference.”
Anthony Kershaw, Audiophilia, May 2019 <learn more>
“If you are among those who get heartbeat when you meet aesthetically high quality design- furniture, art, or anything else, you’ll need blood pressure medicine: Bergmann Magne is among the finest. In the audiofile world it is the Porsche 911.”
Knut Vadseth, Fidelity, 2017 <learn more>
“I love Danish Design and for this reason alone, I would love to have the Magne in my listening room permanently. A second reason to refuse to return the Magne to its rightful owners has to do with its high level of built quality and finish. Both reasons make me enjoy this turntable just by looking at it. The third reason to choose this turntable has to do with the extremely thoughtful manner in which some techniques – especially the use of air bearings – are implemented. This has resulted in a complete absence of problems related to friction and the main reason why details, dynamics, ambiance, imaging and authentic tonality are reproduced without any vagueness or smearing.”
