Additional information
The E.A.T. Fortissimo S is a high-end turntable designed to be a smaller variant of the flagship Fortissimo model. It weighs 47 kg (104 lb) and features a 22 kg platter with 12 brass inserts and a top brass insert under a vinyl top plate, which enhances speed stability and reduces mechanical noise. The turntable is belt-driven and includes electronic speed change for 33.33 and 45.11 RPM, with a speed variance of ±0.07% for 33.33 RPM and ±0.08% for 45 RPM. The wow and flutter is ±0.008% for both speeds, and the signal-to-noise ratio is -73 dB.
The Fortissimo S employs a dual-motor design that is decoupled from the main chassis to reduce vibrations and motor noise. The chassis is designed in two parts, combining the dynamic delivery of a mass-loaded design with the low-noise characteristics of a suspended turntable. The turntable's dimensions are 550 x 250 x 440 mm (21.7 x 9.8 x 17.3 inches).
