The EAT C-Dur Concrete vinyl record player is equipped with a 10-inch EAT C-Note tonearm with a carbon tube. According to the manufacturer, this model has all the advantages of the Unipivot gimbal tonearm. To connect the player, an unbalanced 5-core DIN-RCA cable is included, which can be replaced with a balanced cable if necessary.
One of the key factors in the high weight of the turntable is a massive support disc made of aluminum by milling on a CNC machine and equipped with integrated TPE damping.
The model is characterized by the use of a heavy aluminum support disc, a high-density fiberboard body, and a bearing with extremely low tolerances. The table is covered with eight layers of varnish, and a removable dust cover is included.
The player is designed for those who need additional features, but who don't want to spend a fortune. The C-Sharp turntable was used as a model for the C-Major. The plate is lighter, and the speed control is done manually rather than electronically. However, the tonearm is really something that could be seen on a more expensive turntable, so E.A.T. invested money in it, even though it is 1 inch shorter than the tonearm in the C-Sharp.
The turntable is equipped with a low-noise, fully vibration-proof motor and has a low rumble level. The player's body is supported by three shock-absorbing and height-adjustable aluminum supports, which ensure the perfect horizontal position of the table and minimize vibrations.
