New Horizon 201 black

Modern design of the New Horizon turntable innovates the classic layout and combines with high-quality finishes and reliable construction.

The platter is made of 20 mm thick transparent methacrylate and reaches a weight of nearly 2 kg. This considerably increases the inertia and fluidity of rotation for the benefit of musical reproduction dynamics.

The combination with the new fully adjustable New Horizon NH95 9” tonearm improves detail and clarity when listening. A major project that engaged us in the search for absolute excellence characteristics to extract the soul from our beloved records.

Synchronous AC Motor

The beating heart of the turntable is the 24VAC synchronous motor whose main characteristic is its extremely regular rotation, independent of mains voltage variations, since its speed depends on the mains frequency. The high torque and rotation speed of 500 rpm actively contribute to the regularity and fluidity of the platter rotation.

Inverted Bearing

One of the strengths of New Horizon turntables is the platter’s rotation pivot. The perfection of movement is the result of a meticulous design and several prototypes. Today, the production part has a robust three-piece aluminum and steel inverted bearing structure that guarantees maximum “silence” and very low rotational friction.
