(A traditional bearing solution, which keep the platter centered AND support the platter weight, makes a higher level of mechanical bearing noise, as the contact point between spindle top and platter, generates a very high pressure \u2013 and hereby noise.)<br \/>\nBy floating on an air cushion, the platter also gains the advantage of a very good isolation from the surroundings, same way as the known -and very expensive- air supported shelfs, used in many highend audio systems.<\/p>\n<p>Also the speed stability benefit from the air supported platter. The musical flow is really extraordinary \u2013 not necessarily measurable but audiable.<\/p>\n<p>The name\u00a0<strong>Modi\u00a0<\/strong>means \u201ccourage\u201d or \u201cbrave\u201d. He is the son of Thor and Sif, and represents the characteristics of his father. He is told that he will survive Ragnarok and- together with his step brother\u00a0<strong>MAGNE<\/strong>\u2013 carry on Thor\u2019s strength and qualities.<\/p>\n<h1 class=\"vcex-module vcex-heading vcex-heading-plain vc_custom_1597657811512\"><span class=\"vcex-heading-inner clr\">Plinth &#8211; Modi Turntable<\/span><\/h1>\n<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element \">\n<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n<p>The plinth is made of one solid piece of cnc-machined composite material, which is standing on 3 adjustable feet. The platter is belt driven, by a DC tacho motor. Communication between the DC tacho motor and the high precision motor control electronic, will keep the platter in a very accurate speed. Measured by Bruel &amp; Kj\u00e6r equipment, speed variation 0.003%.<br \/>\nThe DC tacho motor is decoupled from the plinth, by an isolating layer of sponge rubber between motor and plinth. Sponge rubber have a very high degree of vibration absorption, uue to the high density of air pockets in the construction. That will prevent any motor vibration transmitted to the plinth.<\/p>\n<p>The air supply is remote controlled from the Modi plinth. When turning off the platter after listening, the air supply goes \u201cOFF\u201d automatically 2 minutes later. A user friendly and convenient feature.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h1 class=\"vcex-module vcex-heading vcex-heading-plain vc_custom_1597657907929\"><span class=\"vcex-heading-inner clr\">Armboards &#8211; Modi Turntable<\/span><\/h1>\n<div class=\"vc_separator wpb_content_element vc_separator_align_center vc_sep_width_100 vc_sep_pos_align_center vc_separator_no_text vc_sep_color_grey\"><span style=\"color: #555555;\">Modi accept 2 tonearms \u2013 radial- and linear tracking tonearms.

This results in an even airflow to the air bearing. The air supply is mounted with a filter, which prevents dust particles in entering the system. This filter is replaceable when necessary.<br \/>\nThe pump is an oil free, long life unit, which do not require much maintenance.<\/p>\n<p>The airsupply box, contain air pump, powersupply and communication electronics for Modi. The airsupply is controlled from the turntable plinth, just by press either 33 or 45 rpm bottom. First press, the air goes \u201cON\u201d, second press the platter start to spin. When the platter is turned \u201cOFF\u201d, the airsupply turns \u201cOFF\u201d automatically after 2 minutes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p class=\"vcex-module vcex-heading vcex-heading-plain vc_custom_1597658015170\" style=\"text-align: left;\"><span class=\"vcex-heading-inner clr\">Modi (Son of Thor), i<\/span>s Bergmann Audio&#8217;s new entry level airbearing turntable system.\u00a0 Designed with trickle down technology from Galder, Modi presents a more affordable entry-level air bearing solution, offering flexibility and ease to users with a 2-tonearm solution that accepts Bergmann&#8217;s Magne ST linear tracking tonearms, Odin linear tracking tonearm, and most 9&#8243; &#8211; 12&#8243; linear tracking or radial tonearms with an additional armboard.<\/p>\n<p class=\"vcex-module vcex-heading vcex-heading-plain vc_custom_1597658015170\" style=\"text-align: left;\">Modi is available with large pump and small pump for different needs.\u00a0 Contact us or your dealer to join the airbearing turntable movement and customize your Modi to suit your needs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":13158,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_price":"","_stock":null,"_tribe_ticket_header":"","_tribe_default_ticket_provider":"","_tribe_ticket_capacity":"0","_ticket_start_date":"","_ticket_end_date":"","_tribe_ticket_show_description":"","_tribe_ticket_show_not_going":false,"_tribe_ticket_use_global_stock":"","_tribe_ticket_global_stock_level":"","_global_stock_mode":"","_global_stock_cap":"","_tribe_rsvp_for_event":"","_tribe_ticket_going_count":"","_tribe_ticket_not_going_count":"","_tribe_tickets_list":"[]","_tribe_ticket_has_attendee_info_fields":false},"product_cat":[1362],"product_tag":[1363],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/onahighernote.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/13155"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/onahighernote.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/onahighernote.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onahighernote.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onahighernote.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=13155"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onahighernote.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/13158"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/onahighernote.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=13155"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onahighernote.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=13155"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onahighernote.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=13155"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
