M500

A manual 33/45/78 sub-chassis audiophile turntable with sophisticated damping for detailed, transparent sound in a beautiful package

The M500, the first in Rekkord's line of manual turntables, is based on the technically high-quality Rekkord tonearm and combines a heavy basic chassis with a floating sub-chassis in a modern design. Despite its slim profile, the chassis has the necessary mass to dampen any kind of impact noise and vibration from the outside. 

The aluminum-covered sub-chassis is floating on four special parabolic springs and is therefore decoupled from the rest of the chassis. This ensures an additional minimization of external interference. Three specially buffered aluminum feet in combination with the cardan tonearm mounting make time-consuming leveling of the turntable unnecessary. Of course, the high-precision anti-skating and tracking force settings of our fully automatic machines are also used here. A problem-free and uncomplicated installation is therefore always guaranteed. 

• 33/4 RPM DC motor
• Massless tracking force adjustment which optimizes the center of gravity directly at the bearing center
• Floating sub-chassis: the platter and the tonearm are decoupled from the rest of the chassis by the sub-chassis system
• Damped aluminum platter
• Massless tracking force which optimizes the center of gravity directly at the bearing center
• Heavy aluminum platter with internal damping ring that greatly minimizes resonance as well as wow and flutter
• 8.3” ultra-low-mass (ULM) aluminum tonearm with cardan bearings produced in-house
• New tonearm geometry
• New improved cardan bearing
• New carbon fiber headshell
• Vibration-damped wood chassis made from a single piece of resonance-dampening MDF
• Belt drive with polished flat belt
  
• Dust cover, anti-static felt mat and phono cable included
