Est. year: 2008
Bergmann Audio was founded in 2008 by Johnnie Bergmann Rasmussen, a mechanical engineer based in the small town of Hobro on Denmark's Jutland Peninsula, who set out specifically to overcome the practical limitations that had plagued air-bearing turntable designs since the 1980s, an idea he had first sketched at age 22 before the format's brief CD-era eclipse temporarily shelved his plans.
Range & what it's known for
The catalog centres on air-bearing turntables and matching linear-tracking tonearms, starting with the original Sindre in 2008 and expanding through the mid-tier Magne to the reference-level Sleipner, whose distinctive inverted-U-shaped platter rotates above the bearing block with air emerging from its top and sides rather than surrounding a conventional spindle, a design Bergmann developed specifically to avoid the horizontal-stability compromises found in more conventional spindle-based air-bearing systems. Every Bergmann tonearm and turntable eliminates mechanical friction almost entirely, with the arm's only physical contact with a record coming through the stylus tip itself.
Who owns it and where it's made
Bergmann Audio remains Danish-owned and founder-led by Johnnie Bergmann Rasmussen, with every mechanical part made in-house at the company's own workshop in Hobro, Denmark, with only select components sourced from a small number of trusted Danish suppliers, giving the brand a domestic, hand-built manufacturing pedigree.
The lineup in this catalog
Turntables and tonearms. Pricing spans roughly 20,000 to over 50,000 dollars across the Sindre, Magne and Sleipner range.
Who it's for
Bergmann suits vinyl enthusiasts specifically seeking friction-free air-bearing turntable and tonearm engineering, appealing to buyers who want a Danish hand-built alternative to more conventional belt- or direct-drive analogue front ends.
