About the 30/2

The SME Model 30/2 is a reference-grade, high-mass belt-drive turntable designed for extremely low coloration and outstanding speed stability. Its heavy chassis and subchassis, machined from thick aluminum alloy, are coupled with a four-tower suspended subchassis system using fluid-damped towers and polymer isolation to minimise vibration and acoustic breakthrough. The massive main bearing uses a long, large-diameter spindle running in a sealed housing for low friction and long-term stability, while the outboard electronic speed control unit and high-torque AC motor provide very accurate 33 and 45 rpm speed regulation. With its very low noise floor, exceptional dynamic range, and superb detail retrieval, the Model 30/2 is widely regarded as one of SME's top turntables for no-compromise vinyl playback.
