The INGENIUM PLUG&PLAY is a belt-drive turntable from AVID, built with an accessible plug-and-play design philosophy referenced directly in the model naming, offering a more compact platter and chassis than AVID's flagship Acutus-series models. The INGENIUM PLUG&PLAY brings AVID's considered engineering to a more accessible analogue playback platform.

Key specs that matter

Two speeds are supported - 33 and 45rpm - via belt drive using an AC motor. The platter is a 2.5kg design, considerably lighter than the flagship Acutus-series models' 10kg platters. At 370 x 305 x 130mm and 5.9kg, the INGENIUM PLUG&PLAY maintains a manageable, accessible turntable chassis consistent with its plug-and-play design philosophy.

Sound and use context

Expect a straightforward, dependable vinyl playback experience reflecting the accessible plug-and-play design philosophy, consistent with AVID's broader considered engineering approach at a more accessible scale than the brand's flagship Acutus-series models.

Pairing

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

Alternatives

AVID's own flagship ACUTUS REFERENCE MONO and Acutus Dark Iron offer considerably more substantial alternatives within the same broader turntable catalogue for buyers wanting AVID's most accomplished current engineering.
