Integrating convenience with a built-in phono stage

Essential III Phono takes all advantages of the regular version Essential III and adds a line level output! Essential III offers a variety of enhancements compared to its successful predecessor, such as a diamond-cut aluminum drive pulley, a resonance-optimized MDF main platter and MDF chassis. The refined, high-precision platter bearing has significantly lower tolerances than Essential II. Essential III is equipped with an 8,6” aluminium tonearm with the high-quality pickup OM10 by the phonographic cartridge pioneer Ortofon. The included Phono RCA cable, Connect it E, is a high-quality semi-balanced interconnect cable with gold-plated RCA connectors that guarantees the perfect connection. Also the special decoupling feet isolate the turntable from the surface it is place on to deliver the best sound possible.

You can simply switch between line and phono output, should you decide afterwards to invest in a higher quality phono preamplifier. With its line level output, Essential III Phono can be easily integrated into any HiFi setup.

Elegant Vinyl Playback

The turntable features a belt drive with a synchronous motor and silicone belt, complemented by an integrated MM phono stage and a diamond-cut aluminium drive pulley. Its chassis and platter are crafted from resonance-insensitive MDF, ensuring superior sound quality. The integrated DC-powered motor control minimizes vibrations and guarantees speed stability, while the low tolerance platter bearing with a stainless steel spindle adds to its precision. The 8.6” aluminium tonearm with sapphire bearings comes pre-mounted with an Ortofon OM10 cartridge. High-quality semi-balanced Connect it E phono interconnects with gold-plated RCA connectors are included, along with special decoupling feet and a dust cover. Available in high-gloss black, red, and white, this turntable combines performance with elegance.
