Additional information
The Fern & Roby Montrose Heirloom Turntable is a high-end audio product designed for superior sound quality. It features a 28-pound brass platter and includes a Brass LP weight, which enhances performance by improving speed stability and reducing vibrations, leading to clearer sound and better detail. This turntable is built around Fern & Roby's Modular, Active, P.I.D. Drive Unit (MAP Drive), which uses real-time feedback from the platter to regulate the turntable's performance. The Montrose Heirloom also comes with the Schröder CB tonearm by Thrax, available with either ebony or carbon fiber arm wand, known for its low noise floor and nuanced calibration features.
The turntable's dimensions are 20 3/4" wide x 15" deep x 5" tall, and it weighs 65 lbs. It is made from Richlite, a material manufactured from compressed recycled paper and resin, and includes high-grade stainless steel and solid bronze components.
