The Transrotor Artus FMD is a high-end, flagship turntable designed with a combination of polished aluminum and black acrylic chassis and an 80mm acrylic platter weighing 15 kg. It employs a cardanic suspension system allowing the turntable to move freely in all directions for perfect leveling and vibration isolation. The platter is driven by a Free Magnetic Drive (FMD) bearing system, which magnetically couples the motors to the platter assembly, eliminating mechanical contact and thus distortion from belts, pulleys, or motors. It features three motors and includes the Konstant FMD power supply, a chrome 370-gram record weight, and the Rotor Ring for improved performance. The turntable supports up to two tonearms on optional arm boards (9 or 12 inches). Dimensions are 55 cm width, 55 cm depth, and 120 cm height, with a total weight of approximately 220 kg. The Artus FMD is recognized as one of the best turntables available, combining German engineering excellence with a classic aesthetic and delivering truly holographic sound reproduction.
