The Air Force V Premium is an air-bearing turntable from TechDAS, built with a distinctive dual-platter sub-platter system. The Air Force V Premium brings TechDAS' most accomplished current engineering to a serious flagship-tier analogue playback platform.

Key specs that matter

Two speeds are supported - 33 and 45rpm - via belt drive with an air-bearing suspension using an AC motor. The platter uses a distinctive precision-machined aluminium alloy sub-platter system totalling 7.0kg, with a black-anodised 4.0kg outer main platter and a silver-anodised 3.0kg inner sub-platter. Wow and flutter is an exceptionally low 0.03%. The system splits across two chassis components measuring 312 x 168 x 368mm and 350 x 160 x 270mm, weighing 26kg plus 9kg.

Sound and use context

Expect exceptionally stable, precise rotation reflecting the exceptionally low 0.03% wow-and-flutter figure combined with the distinctive dual-platter sub-platter system, representing TechDAS' most accomplished current turntable engineering ambition.

Pairing

Buyers should confirm tonearm and cartridge compatibility directly with TechDAS or an authorised dealer to complete this turntable's analogue front end.

Alternatives

TechDAS' own Air Force One Premium offers a considerably more substantial alternative for buyers wanting an even more ambitious current flagship engineering statement.
