Additional information
There is limited publicly available technical documentation for the Artemis Labs SA-1 turntable. Artemis Labs is recognized for producing high-end audio equipment, but detailed specifications for the SA-1 turntable are not widely published in mainstream audio databases or manufacturer archives. However, based on the general reputation and typical features of Artemis Labs products, here is an overview of what can be reasonably inferred:
Manufacturer: Artemis Labs
Type: High-end, belt-driven turntable
Target Market: Audiophiles and high-fidelity enthusiasts
Technical Specifications
Drive System:
Type: Belt drive (common for high-end Artemis Labs products)
Motor: Likely uses a low-noise, precision DC or AC synchronous motor for stable speed controlPlatter:
Material: Heavy, high-mass (metal or composite) for reduced resonance and improved speed stabilityTonearm:
Type: Precision, low-mass design (possibly removable for upgrades)
Mounting: Likely features a standard mounting interface for compatibility with a range of tonearmsSpeeds:
Playback Speeds: 33⅓ and 45 rpm (standard for high-end turntables)Suspension:
Type: Advanced vibration isolation system, possibly using multiple layers or decoupling mechanisms for isolation from external vibrationsConstruction:
Materials: High-quality metals and composites for rigidity and damping
Design: Minimalist, with attention to reducing mechanical noise and resonanceDimensions and Weight:
Typical Size: Comparable to other high-end turntables (approx. 40–50 cm wide, 30–40 cm deep, 10–20 cm high)
Weight: Heavy (likely 10–20 kg or more) for stability and vibration dampingOutput:
Standard: RCA/phono outputs (for external phono stage)Power Supply:
Type: External or internal AC/DC power supply, with low-noise regulation
