Acoustical Systems Turntable
World - Premiere
Acoustical System's new turntable!
The essence of 30 years turntable design and evolution in the APOLYT finds it's cumulation in an all-new concept.
All the design features and inventions which defined the unique apogee level of the APOLYT's sonic performance
have now been incorporated in a much more compact and positively matured new design.
A turntable second to no other - in it's concept and sonic performance on a par with the APOLYT and superior to all others.
the ASTELLAR
- the ultimate turntable ..... reduced to the absolute maximum
features:
* an unique 36 (!) layers design platter, incorporating 18 different materials with defined energy transfer speed - combined in the optimum sequence.
* incorporating Vinyl, Tungsten HD18, Titanium, AW6082 Alloy, 1.4401 Vanadium Steel - plus a defined mixture of organic materials pressured together and bounded by natural resin.
* unique APOLYT-concept inner platter design.
* the ASTELLAR's platter is 100% non-resonant, with absolute non-reflecting inner surface.
* designed to provide a pitch-black deep dark "sonic background" - to allow the most tiny details to appear in an unforced and natural way and thus to integrate swift into the all-harmonic sonic picture provided.
* the platter spindle is fully decoupled and isolated from the bearing and featuring an inner thread to allow optimized coupling of vinyl record to material-identical platter surface by screw-on clamp as well as record weight.
* bi-radial, unique adjustable push-pull magnetic bearing, completely maintenance-free - proving a perfect isolated and totally vibration-free rotation.
* full air suspended plinth with 1.2 Hz resonance frequency.
* true 3-point precision leveling with tilt-prevention
* double-point brushless DC motor belt drive - with active dynamic motor management - and free of any parasitic side force / drag applied to the platter.
* double flywheel drive - with maximized inertia incorporated in the active motor management.
* totally decoupled bearing and tonearm mounting board from motor level.
* speed 33, 45 and 78 - all full stabilized with below 0.01 derivation from set speed
* plinth featuring 3 levels made from 3 different Aluminium alloys - with inlays of Titanium and vibration-absorbing gel.
* tonearm mounting boards with "Zero-tolerance" - automatic perfect re-location design:
each tonearm mounted and aligned to one position can be moved to different position without ANY re-alignment / recalibration needed.
* arm boards with defined and maximized energy transfer.
* external power supply 45 cm x 38 cm x 13 cm
* including motor management, full dc-supply, air suspension control.
* connection between power supply and turntable by LEMO.
* available in choice of 5 selected finishes: deep black, APOLYT-dark anthrazit, Titanium, Silver spark and light-Titanium.
* pre-drilled and perfect positioned pre-cut arm boards for each and all tonearms desired.
* pre-assembled in 5 units - none of them exceeding 27 kg gros weight - for easy and swift set-up.
* gros dimensions: 69 cm x 48 cm x 23 cm.
* gros footprint: 63 x 42 cm
* net weight ASTELLAR turntable: 88 kg
* net weight: ASTELLAR power supply: 18 kg
extra options:
* optional full battery powered and w/ incorporated automatic recharge logic (2nd power supply).
* optional special rack in 82 or 104 cm top-shelf height to incorporate 2 or 3 phono stage / line stage components and with air suspension!
* on special request possible finish in all Mercedes-Benz, BMW and Porsche colors.

Re: Acoustical Systems Turntable
It looks interesting.
Is this only a rendering?
Is there an actual physical unit or prototype on location at Munich?
