Resolution Mk1

About the Resolution Mk1

The Origin Live Resolution Mk1 is part of the Resolution series of turntables designed by Origin Live, emphasizing musical clarity, timing accuracy, and minimal coloration. It features a single-point cantilever suspension system that isolates the sub-chassis from vibration, avoiding the softening of leading edges found in suspended designs and the hardness of non-suspended designs. This results in superior pitch, rhythm, timing, rock-solid imaging, reduced coloration, refined presentation of low-level information, and easy separation of music and vocals. The armboard accepts 9.5" and 12" Origin Live tonearms or Rega arms. The turntable supports 33 and 45 RPM speeds and is configured for mains voltage based on the country of residence. While the Mk1 cannot be upgraded to Mk3 due to many changed parts, it laid the foundation for subsequent improvements in the Resolution line. The Mk1 shares the design philosophy of coupling and decoupling materials and components to optimize sonic performance, a hallmark of Origin Live's engineering approach.
