E.A.T Forte is a large and heavy machine that can squeeze the most out of your vinyl discs. The turntable's design is based on an ideal combination of two main elements: a separate motor unit and a massive body. The case is very heavy and filled with metal filings. The magnetic support legs serve as a pedestal, securely holding the structure.

  • F-Dur

    European Audio Team (EAT) F-Dur

    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.

  • PRELUDE

    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.

  • B-SHARP

    Turntables

    European Audio Team (EAT) B-SHARP

    The B-Sharp player uses the same design features as the C-Major model. At the same time, B-Sharp has lost all the minor cosmetic decorations of C-Major — without compromising on sound quality or mechanical integrity, providing excellent playback quality at a more affordable price.

  • C-MAJOR

    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.

  • C-DUR

    Turntables

    European Audio Team (EAT) C-DUR

    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.
