About the 30
The SME Model 30 is a precision turntable that was formerly SME's flagship model and was considered the world's reference standard turntable for many years. It achieves outstanding performance through ingenious design, precision engineering, intelligent damping, and fundamental physics principles. The turntable excels at controlling and managing vibration, resonance, mechanical energy, and electrical fields. The main and sub-chassis resist flexing at low frequencies while high frequency resonance is attenuated by efficient extensional damping. The Model 30 comes equipped with the flagship SME Series V tonearm featuring Crystal Cable internal wiring. It features a heavy mass construction weighing over 42kg, a suspended suspension system with chassis fluid damping, close tolerance precision bearing, highly advanced drive system, independent mains transformer, and LEMO low power cables with RCA or XLR chassis connectors. A gold finish option is available.
