The HELIX TWO MK3 is a belt-drive turntable from Dohmann Audio, a South African manufacturer known for uncompromising high-mass turntable engineering, built with a separate outboard power supply. The HELIX TWO MK3 brings Dohmann's 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 using an AC motor. The turntable and its separate power supply measure 480 x 400 x 200mm and 480 x 390 x 55mm respectively, weighing 38kg (main) plus 5kg (PSU) - a substantial commitment reflecting Dohmann's flagship-tier engineering ambition and isolation of sensitive mechanical components from power-supply-related noise.

Sound and use context

Expect exceptionally stable, well-controlled rotation reflecting the substantial 38kg main chassis combined with the separate outboard power supply's isolation from sensitive mechanical componentry, representing Dohmann's absolute flagship-tier current turntable engineering ambition.

Pairing

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

Alternatives

Other manufacturers' flagship-tier turntables offer alternatives for buyers wanting to compare similarly ambitious high-mass engineering.
