Additional information

The Bergmann Audio Magne turntable is a high-end, precision-engineered turntable designed for audiophiles and music enthusiasts seeking exceptional sound quality and meticulous craftsmanship. It is part of Bergmann Audio's lineup of premium turntables, renowned for their innovative design and uncompromising performance.


Key Features:

  1. Air Bearing Tonearm System:
    The Magne turntable features Bergmann Audio's signature air-bearing tonearm, which eliminates traditional mechanical bearings. This design reduces friction and vibration, allowing for unparalleled tracking accuracy and minimal distortion.
    The air-bearing system is powered by a silent, high-quality air pump, ensuring smooth and consistent operation.

  2. Platter Design:
    The turntable utilizes a heavy, precision-machined platter made from high-density materials to ensure optimal rotational stability and inertia. This minimizes wow and flutter, contributing to a more accurate and natural sound reproduction.
    The platter is often paired with a high-quality mat to further reduce vibrations and enhance sound clarity.

  3. Drive System:
    The Magne employs an external, outboard motor system to isolate motor vibrations from the turntable platter and tonearm. This design choice enhances sound purity by preventing mechanical noise from interfering with playback.
    The motor is typically a low-noise, high-torque DC motor, controlled by a precision speed controller to maintain consistent rotational speed.

  4. Chassis and Construction:
    The turntable's chassis is constructed from high-quality materials such as aluminum, stainless steel, or composite materials, chosen for their rigidity and damping properties. This ensures a stable platform that minimizes resonance and external vibrations.
    The design often incorporates a minimalist, Scandinavian aesthetic, emphasizing both form and function.

  5. Modular Design:
    The Magne turntable is designed with modularity in mind, allowing users to upgrade or replace components such as the tonearm, platter, or motor system. This future-proofs the turntable and enables customization to suit individual preferences.

  6. Performance:
    The combination of the air-bearing tonearm, precision platter, and isolated drive system results in exceptional audio performance. The turntable delivers a wide soundstage, detailed imaging, and a natural, dynamic presentation of music.
    It is capable of revealing subtle nuances in recordings, making it ideal for high-resolution audio playback.

  7. Compatibility:
    The Magne turntable is compatible with a wide range of phono cartridges, allowing users to tailor the sound to their preferences. Its design accommodates both moving magnet (MM) and moving coil (MC) cartridges.

  8. Ease of Use:
    Despite its advanced technology, the Magne turntable is designed for ease of setup and operation. The air-bearing system is user-friendly, and the turntable includes features such as adjustable feet for leveling and isolation.
