Key specs that matter

Three speeds are supported - 33, 45, and 78rpm - via belt drive with a DC motor.

At 420 x 330 x 125mm and 11kg, the PERFORMANCE DC maintains a manageable, complete turntable package.

Sound and use context

Expect an accomplished, dependable vinyl playback experience reflecting the matched CLARIFY tonearm and VIRTUOSO V2 cartridge combination, providing capable performance straight out of the box.

Pairing

Because the tonearm and cartridge ship pre-installed and factory-matched, the PERFORMANCE DC arrives ready to play directly with any amplifier offering a phono input.
