TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
This new edition of the SQUARE CC vinyl turntable is a belt-driven model featuring an aluminum tone arm on which an ORTOFON OM10 cartridge is mounted. Its quality components make this turntable an attractive, high-fidelity solution for discovering or rediscovering the world of vinyl records, and listening to 33 and 45 rpm records.
MODES
The SQUARE CC turntable features 2 modes: preamplified and non-preamplified. A connector on the rear of the turntable makes it easy to switch between these two outputs. The integrated PHONO MM pre-amplifier amplifies the vinyl output by 34dB, so you can connect the turntable directly to your hi-fi system, amplifier or active loudspeaker.
ARM
The 20 cm long, lightweight and rigid aluminum tone arm incorporates a cell holder. Its one-piece, conical design eliminates reflections and standing waves. The arm is fitted with low-friction bearings to guarantee high reading accuracy. The arm's counterweight is specifically pre-set for the SQUARE turntable's top-of-the-range ORTOFON OM10 cartridge, eliminating the need for further configuration or adjustment.
This top-of-the-range cell features a diamond with an elliptical profile to ensure perfect tracking of the grooves on vinyl records. It offers a frequency response between 20 Hz and 25 kHz.
VINYL SUPPORT
The transparent Plexiglass® vinyl support reveals the rotation mechanism: a sub-platter mounted in a 0.001 mm main bearing with a hardened steel axle and brass ring to prevent vibration or bearing play. The sub-platter is rotated by a low-vibration belt system. The SQUARE turntable is driven by a mains-powered synchronous motor for maximum stability and silence.
ANTI-VIBRATION SYSTEM
What's more, the SQUARE CC turntable incorporates a tripod anti-vibration system developed by La Boite concept, to avoid parasitic vibrations that can interfere with vinyl playback. Thanks to these cork pads, the turntable rests on 3 points directing the vibration to the rear. This solution absorbs vibrations, translating only those of the vinyl groove. This technology neutralizes parasitic bass vibrations from a loudspeaker, allowing the SQUARE CC turntable and loudspeaker to be combined on the same surface.
SPEEDS
Two speeds are available: 33 and 45 rpm. A simple button on the SQUARE CC platter enables manual speed changes, making it easy to switch between the two speeds.
