Built around the concept of a modern “Solid-State-Masse-Laufwerke” design, it combines direct drive technology with a high-mass construction to deliver exceptional speed stability and low noise performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Motus II features a heavy mass plinth and platter, designed to minimise the impact of external vibrations and provide a stable platform for playback. At its core is a low-torque, in-house custom direct drive motor, working in combination with the high-mass platter to maintain precise and consistent rotational speed through inertia.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSpeed selection between 33⅓ and 45 RPM is handled via a discreet switch located beneath the front of the plinth, allowing for simple operation while maintaining a clean aesthetic. The turntable operates with extremely low noise, enabling high levels of detail retrieval from the record.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePower is supplied by a separate external power supply unit, helping to isolate electrical interference from the main chassis. The STST Vertex tonearm is a recommended pairing, though the flexible mounting system allows for a wide range of third-party tonearms to be installed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach Motus II is built to order, offering extensive customisation options including a wide selection of real wood veneers, painted finishes (including RAL colours), and multiple top plate materials such as acrylic, aluminium, chrome, stainless steel look, or carbon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKey Features:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• High-end direct drive turntable\u003cbr\u003e• Solid-State-Masse-Laufwerke (high-mass direct drive design)\u003cbr\u003e• Heavy mass plinth and platter for vibration control\u003cbr\u003e• In-house low torque direct drive motor\u003cbr\u003e• Stable speed via high-mass platter inertia\u003cbr\u003e• 33⅓ and 45 RPM speed selection\u003cbr\u003e• External power supply for reduced interference\u003cbr\u003e• Compatible with STST Vertex and third-party tonearms\u003cbr\u003e• Fully customisable finishes and materials\u003cbr\u003e• Built to order for bespoke systems\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTechnical Highlights:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Extremely stable and accurate speed performance\u003cbr\u003e• Low noise operation for maximum detail retrieval\u003cbr\u003e• High mass construction for vibration isolation\u003cbr\u003e• Flexible tonearm compatibility\u003cbr\u003e• Precision engineering and bespoke build quality\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConfiguration Options:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• 9” or 12” tonearm configurations\u003cbr\u003e• Wide range of plinth finishes (wood veneers, satin, gloss, RAL colours)\u003cbr\u003e• Top plate options including acrylic, aluminium (black or silver), chrome gloss, stainless steel look, or carbon\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat’s Included:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• STST Motus II Turntable\u003cbr\u003e• External power supply\u003cbr\u003e• Documentation\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNote:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach unit is built to order with a typical lead time of approximately three months.\u003cbr\u003eCustom finishes and configurations are available—please enquire to discuss options.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis product is available for in-store demonstration.
