Ideal turntable for the Airtangent 2002 air-bearing tonearm.

Two completely separated and vibration damped cabinets: one for the platter and arm, the other for the motor and the integrated phono preamp.

Both cabinets are extremely effectively vibration damped by the patented
BASE TECHNOLOGY vibration damping system. US PAT NO: US 6296238.

Heavy 80mm acrylic platter that is non-concave for constant VTA over the record surface.

The heavy puck has an integrated spirit level for easy level adjustment.

Ultra precision machined and balanced, inverted ceramic bearing.

Very thin belt is used to minimize any transfer of vibrations from the motor.

One precision made motor is used for perfect and smooth rotation of the platter. The motor is very accurate and operates equally smooth at 33 and 45 rpm. Wide range trim pots are included for accurate speed adjustments.

Playing time is minimum 48 hours without forced charging.

Highly effective safety circuits are included to avoid problems with extensive battery currents.

Features of the Vitus Audio phono preamp:

Battery powered state of the art Vitus Audio MC/MM phono preamp is integrated.

Charging of the phono preamp and motor is automatic. Additional forced charging is available.

Based on substantial tests: opamp only, discrete only, and combinations
of the two, the Vitus Audio phono preamp currently uses both opamps and discrete where best suited.

The RIAA EQ uses both active feedback and passive correction. Feedback is
handled by the use of both current and zero feedback.

Mcap and Mcap Supreme capacitors are used for the RIAA correction.

There are 3 stages: MC step-up, RIAA EQ stage, and the output stage. See
simplified block diagram.
