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.
