™Remote Motor - Silent Drive Motion Control Duo-Drive System operates in Direct RIM or Tri-Belt Operation

The heartbeat is a silent powerful brushless DC motion controller motor provides low torque start ups with improved braking and easier set up.

The two component motor separates the electronic controls from the motor and the solid 18.8 lb (8.5 Kg’s) Carbon Steel Motor Housing provides superb vibration free operation. The final housing is shot peened for rigidity and powder coated for beauty. The motor is bolted internally with four ¼ - 20 Allen bolts in to a .800 thick top plate. The extreme precision of both the motor and the tolerances in the machined components provide extremely quiet and accurate speed control. The base features a fully inset ¼ inch silicone dampening o-ring is inset specially machined grooves in the polycarbonate base for isolation and superb coupling to any surface. The control board enables super precise acceleration control allowing the use of a pure silicone single drive wheel. This provides improved coupling and reduced noise transfer.

™Exclusive Acetal Outer Rim Drive Decoupled Platter or ™Tri-Belt Drive

The exclusive Acetal Outer Rim Drive and the extreme tolerances required to run the rim drive system easily provided a top flight high tension Belt Drive System. The final selection of belt or rim is a personal choice – you have two drives in one; both more effective than other turntables by design, tolerances and passion. This is the most unique decoupling system ever designed for a record player. The 13.5 inch Acetal Rim ™Drive is mated to the main platter with special tension fit installation. This provides a mechanical decoupling from the driven rim to the record platter.
