The Turn 7 bridges the gap between high-end HiFi turntables and uncompromising design. The belt-driven turntable meets the exacting demands of audiophile music fans thanks to precisely manufactured components. The acrylic platter with LED lighting and the external drive belt make the Turn 7 an absolute eye-catcher.
Powerful and steady driveA decentralised, low-vibration DC motor drives the Turn 7. The integral flat belt runs gracefully along the turntable exterior, ensuring smooth operation and a sophisticated appearance. The start/stop rotary switch allows you to select between the turntable's two speeds (33 and 45 RPM).
Heart of acrylic: The turntable platterThe acrylic platter is 20 mm thick, weighs 1.7 kg, and has outstanding evenness thanks to precision manufacturing. It also has excellent antistatic characteristics. As a result, crystal-clear audio is possible without using a platter mat. The satin finish of the material creates a focal point and contrasts with the otherwise plain design of the belt-driven turntable.
Let there be light – LEDs insideOne of the unique features of the Turn 7 is the optional, blue platter illumination. Inconspicuously placed beneath the platter, multiple LEDs with a diffuser cover sets the mood and creates a warm and inviting ambience.
Top-class tone armThe high-quality carbon tone arm has exceptional acoustic properties. The turntable's authentic sound is brought out to its full potential by effectively cancelling out vibrations. The ability to adjust the height (vertical tracking angle – VTA) and an anti-skating adjustment ensure maximum precision.
Ortofon 2M Red pre-installedThe turntable comes with the Ortofon 2M Red cartridge system pre-installed. The Ortofon 2M Red has an elliptical stylus tip and excellent sonic characteristics, including first-rate sound accuracy and reproduction. The Ortofon 2M Red is a highly versatile cartridge system with an open, dynamic sound and warm tones. The universal headshell connection (SME) adds more options for cartridge systems.
Meticulously perfectedIn addition to its high-quality preamplifier, the Turn 7 also features versatile switching between line and phono signals. The gold-plated corrosion-resistant RCA connectors ensure the best possible signal transmission. The built-in USB output allows you to digitise vinyl records.
Simple design & pure functionalityThe sturdy MDF wooden plinth and height-adjustable isolator feet with aluminium surround provide effective decoupling for the turntable. The high-gloss piano lacquer is a classy contrast to the timeless minimalism while emphasising the Turn 7's superior quality.

Amazona about the TURN7
"Klanglich gibt es unsererseits nichts zu beanstanden und was das Design angeht, macht sich der Klavierlack und die blauleuchtende Acrylplatte wirklich gut."
