As an evolution of the Motus range, it combines a high-mass direct drive system with a suspended sub-chassis design, delivering exceptional isolation, stability, and precision.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuilt around the concept of “Solid-State-Masse-Laufwerke”, the Motus II DQ integrates a heavy mass platter with a low-torque, in-house custom direct drive motor. The platter’s inertia ensures highly stable and accurate speed performance, while maintaining low noise operation for maximum detail retrieval.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA key feature of the Motus II DQ is its leaf spring-loaded sub-chassis, designed to isolate the playback system from external vibrations. The suspension system includes adjustable damping and the ability to fine-tune balance using brass weights, allowing precise setup based on tonearm and cartridge configuration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSpeed selection between 33⅓ and 45 RPM is controlled via a discreet switch located beneath the front of the plinth, maintaining a clean and minimal design. The turntable is powered by a separate external power supply to reduce electrical interference.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe STST Vertex tonearm is a natural pairing, though the flexible mounting system allows for a wide range of third-party tonearms. The design also allows the turntable to operate independently of the plinth, which is primarily aesthetic and fully customisable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKey Features:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• High-end direct drive turntable with suspended sub-chassis\u003cbr\u003e• Solid-State-Masse-Laufwerke (high-mass direct drive design)\u003cbr\u003e• Leaf spring-loaded sub-chassis for vibration isolation\u003cbr\u003e• Adjustable suspension damping\u003cbr\u003e• Brass weight system for precise tonearm balancing\u003cbr\u003e• In-house low torque direct drive motor\u003cbr\u003e• High-mass platter for stable rotational speed\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• Supplied with removable dust cover\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• Exceptional vibration isolation through suspended design\u003cbr\u003e• Extremely stable and accurate speed performance\u003cbr\u003e• Low noise operation for high detail retrieval\u003cbr\u003e• Adjustable setup for optimal system matching\u003cbr\u003e• Flexible tonearm compatibility\u003cbr\u003e• Precision engineering with 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 DQ Turntable\u003cbr\u003e• External power supply\u003cbr\u003e• Removable dust cover\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.
