The Grand Prix Audio Monaco features a direct-drive, suspension-less turntable with a DSP-controlled, brushless, 12-pole, DC motor. It can operate at speeds of 33 1/3rpm and 45rpm, each variable by up to ±1%, in 0.2% increments. It’s speed accuracy is better than 0.002% peak deviation from average speed, or a calculated 0.0014% RMS based on three-sigma statistical protocol. Wow & flutter: 0.002%. Rumble: not specified.

Dimensions: Turntable side-by-side with power supply, 24″ (615mm) W by 8″ (205mm) H (including feet) by 15.5″ (400mm) D. Turntable alone is approximately 13″ in diameter, plus the tonearm mount. Weight: 40 lbs (18.2kg).

FEATURES

DSP Signal Processing / Active Feedback Loop Technology:
Our speed control features a CPU utilizing a Digital Signal Processor that interrogates and maintains the speed of the platter thousands of times each revolution and thereby ensures frequency accuracy and distortion free playback that is simply not possible with conventional types of drive systems. A highly accurate test procedure has demonstrated the speed error to be an extremely low .002%! Speed accuracy equals frequency accuracy, which means there is virtually no distortion on playback.

Floating Platter, DC Motor, Phosphor Bronze Bearing and Internal Flywheel:
The magnesium platter and phosphor bronze flywheel are supported in a fully immersed bearing system that provides a pressurized film of oil that suspends and damps in the horizontal plane. Rotation is supplied by a low voltage brushless DC motor custom made to our specifications.

Carbon Fiber Plinth:
A high pressure high temperature cured composite structure is the ultimate for a turntable plinth. This material allows design of hollow organic shapes with compound curves and varying thicknesses to give a carbon fiber structure superior to any other for rigidity and damping with unparalleled elegance in form. When you add internal polymer damping the performance of this plinth is unrivalled in its vibration management and rigidity.

No mechanical Contact Oil Suspension Bearing and DC Drive System:
Our innovative and unique bearing and drive system achieves ultra low noise levels. There is no mechanical contact in the horizontal plane as the platter is suspended in a fully immersed pressurized film of oil. Power is supplied through the magnetic field produced by the brushless DC motor maintaining the no mechanical contact principle. No seals, no belts, no gears, no contact.

Separate Isolated Thrust Bearing:
The vertical position of the platter is fixed by a uniquely designed rigid single point contact thrust bearing. This bearing is separate from the Oil Suspension platter bearing. This state of the art ceramic bearing is fully immersed in oil.
