Essential III SB is the one to chose when it comes to comfort needs. For the audiophile that has multiple 12“ LPs and 7“ Singles and likes to flip through them with ease. Essential III SB allows the listener to change speeds with the push of only a single button. Going from 33.3 to 45 rpm, and vice versa, within a second, Essential III SB is the perfect companion for everyone who needs to change vinyl in a hurry. The top grade OM10 pickup by Ortofon will guarantee for sonic pleasures all around. Essential III SB delivers lively, balanced and highly involving sound that will delight every vinyl lover. Essential III comes in the aesthetic high-gloss colors black, red and white.
The Essential III retains the simple yet elegant frame of the Essential II. Made from high-quality MDF for its acoustically neutral character, and now wrapped in a high-gloss paint finish (available in red, white or black); the main structure combines both elegance and functionality. The plinth is then mounted on three anti-vibration feet, for effective decoupling from the surface on which the turntable is placed.
One notable upgrade from the Essential II is the new gloss MDF platter which is anti-resonant and acoustically neutral in its performance. The platter uses a stainless steel bearing in a bronze bushing with Teflon-lined bottom for liquid-smooth rotation. The overall sound result is an open, exciting sound that arrives at a foot-tapping tempo.The Essential III SB uses the same 9V motor as its predecessor, but it’s also the first to use a new integrated grounding link that dramatically reduces electrical interference to unprecedented low levels. The motor is a premium, synchronous AC design that’s driven by a built-in signal generator, ensuring optimal speed stability and minimal resonances. The brand new aluminium pulley improves the performance and the appearance even further still.The Essential III SB is pre-fitted with an 8.6” aluminium tonearm for its lightweight, rigid characteristics. The gimbal bearing assembly uses sapphire bearings to allow for smooth tracking across a record, and the supplied counterweight allows for a variety of premium pick-up cartridges to be installed. The tonearm is supplied with an Ortofon OM 10 cartridge installed. Superior to the Essential II’s OM 5E cartridge, the OM 10 uses an elliptical profile and precision micro-mechanics to deliver a nice, full soundstage with plenty of impact.Essential III SB comes in the aesthetic high-gloss colors black, red and white.
