A quiet running AC motor with a two-step pulley drives the hub and platter via a flat-ground belt. The medium density fibre plinth stands on three height-adjustable rubber-damped aluminium cones. The motor is decoupled from the plinth to reduce vibration transmission.
The resonance-optimised platter is a sandwich construction utilising the hub, a fine-balanced aluminium platter and a cork mat (a standard felt mat is supplied also). The platter?s low-tolerance chrome-plated stainless-steel axle runs on a polished ball bearing in a brass bearing housing.
