PERAMBULATOR

The Metaxas PP1 uses a sensuous organic shape which is non-mirror image, CNC’d from a block of solid 6061 aircraft grade aluminium [or Titanium] to eliminate the usual reflections and refractions of resonances inherent in all turntables constructed from pure geometric shapes.

Metaxas constructs the round platter in such a way that the boundary between the lathe-turned aluminium base has organic undulations connecting it to a dedicated acrylic platter mat.

The recessed “label area” adds another level of isolation and evacuation.

An ultra-precision voltage regulated belt-drive system featuring the most advanced Swiss Maxon motor rotates the platter without adding any external speed variations.or vibrations.

Choose from two tonearm mounting options, both precut for our Combobulator Tonearm or any other Universal Tonearm.

The Stainless Steel Bearing housing is precision machined to 0.02mm tolerances to ensure that the sintered bronze sleeve fi ts snugly as does the mirrorfi nish polished bearing.

A 10mm synthetic DIAMOND ball bearing against a sapphire thrust plate and conical stainless-steel shaft supports the huge platter.

Extra-thick 15mm ultra-polished, antimagnetic 304 Stainless Steel shaft glides “frictionless” against the “sintered bronze” bearing. Simply drizzle a very small amount of the supplied bearing oil onto the bearing shaft and approximately 5mm of the bottle height of oil into the bearing housing. Very little oil is used.

The ultra-precision shaft “kisses” the sintered bronze sleeve to produce a very quiet and maintenance free bearing for the life of the turntable. The sintered bronze sleeve can be easily replaced [if necessary].

Three countersunk stainless steel M4 bolts connect the huge platter to the bearing making it easy to assemble.

A ultra-precise and quiet MAXON motor with its proprietory controller keeps the speed absolutely stable. We’ve designed the Perambulator to operate at exactly 33.3 and 45 RPM [switchable] for the 2mm thick rubber belts that we supply. If absolutely necessary, the motor can be easily re- programmed by USB for other belt types/diameters using the ESCON Software provided by MAXON with a standard WINDOWS 10 [Ten] OS [operating software] computer.

The extra-regulated motor controller adds another level of detail retrieval from LP vinyl discs.

A great bearing is simply “precision engineering”. We started with antimagnetic 304 Stainless Steel to produce a VERY inert structure that not only supports, but doesn’t react in any way to the oils and additives used in the bearing. We auditioned sintered bronze bearings from 3 manufacturers and settled on one that seems to have the necessary attributes of precision [no slack] and correct oil impregnation.

Finally, we selected a solid 1mm thick sapphire disc to act as a thrust plate for the precision 10mm zirconium [synthetic diamond] ball.

For en platespiller handler det først og fremst om full kontroll på vibrasjoner og resonanser - derfor denne helt spesielle formen på PERAMBULATOR No. 1 - der ingen flater er parallelle. Ingen paralelle flater, hele spilleren er bygd opp av kurver. Platetallerken er i resonansdød akryl.

Med CNC maskineringen får produsenten full kontroll på innvendig og utvendig form - og da med en form som antagelig er umulig å konstruere ved stansing og støping.

Som alle andre av dagens produkter fra Metaxas & Sins så blir også platespilleren fullt og helt CNC maskinert ut av en solid aluminimumsblokk:
"CNC’d from a block of solid 6061 aircraft grade aluminium "

Så handler det like mye om perfeksjon vedr omdreiningshastighet og wow/Flutter.

Sveitsiske Maxon - som er verdenskjent for sine ekstreme nøyaktige DC-motorer - står for driften av platetallerkenen - som da har resultert i en perfekt rotasjonshastighet og lavest mulig wow/Flutter.

Som Metaxas beskriver det: Et ULTRA-PRESISJONS spenningsregulert belte-drift system med de mest avanserte Sveitsiske Maxon motorer driver platetallerken uten å tilføre noen ekstern hastighetsvariasjon eller vibrasjoner.

Man kan kople platespilleren til PC`n via en USB tilkopling for omprogrammering om man av en eller annen grunn vil/må bruke et annet drivbelte enn det originale - for optimalisering av omdreiningshastigheten.

If absolutely necessary, the motor can be easily re- programmed by USB for other belt types/diameters using the ESCON Software provided by MAXON with a standard WINDOWS 10 [Ten] OS [operating system] computer.

Farge og finish / lakk er det samme som f.eks Mercedes, BMW, Porsche, m.fl... bruker og har man f.eks... en Mercedes og vil ha samme finish på platespilleren så er det bare å sende oss fargekoden - og man kan matche opp platespilleren mot bilen.
