Alphason Designs Sonata Atlas

The Alphason Designs Sonata Atlas is a high-end audiophile turntable designed to deliver exceptional vinyl playback performance. It features advanced engineering focused on minimizing vibration and maximizing speed stability, making it suitable for serious vinyl enthusiasts.

Key Technical Features

• Drive System:
  Belt drive with a high-torque motor designed to provide excellent speed stability and low noise.
  The motor is typically mounted separately or isolated to reduce vibration transfer to the platter.

• Platter:
  Heavy, precisely machined aluminum or composite platter designed to provide high rotational inertia and reduce wow and flutter.
  The platter is often fitted with a high-quality mat to further dampen resonance.

• Chassis and Plinth:
  Rigid, multi-layered plinth construction employing vibration-damping materials to minimize resonance and external interference.
  The design focuses on mechanical isolation and structural integrity.

• Tonearm Compatibility:
  Designed to accommodate a range of high-performance tonearms, including Alphason’s own models such as the HR-100S and HR-200S.
  The tonearm mounting allows precise alignment and adjustment for optimal tracking.

• Bearing:
  Precision bearing assembly with low friction and high stiffness, often using high-quality materials and lubrication to ensure smooth platter rotation and minimal noise.

• Speed Control:
  Electronic speed control with fine adjustment for 33 and 45 rpm, ensuring accurate playback speeds.
  Some models may include quartz-locked speed control for enhanced precision.

• Additional Features:
  Heavy-duty feet or isolation platforms to reduce vibration from external sources.
  High-quality wiring and connectors to maintain signal integrity.
