Sonoro Platinum EAS automatic matte black

The Sonoro Platinum EAS Automatic Turntable offers a high-quality listening experience by combining modern technology with analog sound. This semi-automatic model stands out with its minimalist and elegant design, while incorporating practical features for vinyl enthusiasts. It is an appealing option for those seeking a balance between sound performance and aesthetics.

Elegant Design Meets Precision Engineering

The Platinum EAS Automatic boasts a sleek, contemporary design that blends seamlessly into any interior. Its robust chassis, available in a high-gloss lacquer finish, rests on decoupling feet to ensure optimal stability. The die-cast aluminum platter, paired with a belt-drive system, ensures precise rotation free from unwanted vibrations.

At the heart of this turntable is an optically regulated DC motor, ensuring stability and quiet operation. The S-shaped tonearm, adjustable in height, is equipped with low-friction precision bearings for smooth and accurate tracking of vinyl grooves.

Cutting-Edge Technology for Analog Sound

Sonoro has equipped the Platinum EAS Automatic with an Ortofon 2M Red cartridge, renowned for its sound quality and reliability. This moving magnet cartridge, featuring an elliptical diamond stylus, delivers detailed and balanced playback of vinyl records.

A built-in phono preamplifier is a major advantage of this turntable. It allows direct connection to active speakers or an amplifier without a phono input, simplifying the integration of the Platinum EAS into any existing audio system. For purists, a switch enables bypassing the preamp to use an external phono preamplifier if desired.

Versatile Connectivity for Modern Use

The Platinum EAS Automatic is not just an excellent turntable; it also adapts to modern needs with its extensive connectivity options. Gold-plated RCA connectors ensure optimal analog signal transmission to your hi-fi system.

The built-in Bluetooth functionality, utilizing aptX HD codec, enables high-quality wireless streaming to compatible speakers or headphones. This feature is particularly convenient for portable or discreet listening.

The USB port allows you to digitize your precious vinyl collection. By connecting the turntable to a computer, you can easily create digital copies of your records, ideal for preservation or on-the-go listening.

Smart Automation for Simplified Use

One of the standout features of the Platinum EAS Automatic is its automatic tonearm lift at the end of playback. This function not only protects your records and stylus from premature wear but also provides added user convenience. The motor automatically stops once the record is finished, saving energy and extending the lifespan of the components.

The semi-automatic mechanism still preserves the cherished ritual of vinyl enthusiasts: manually positioning the tonearm at the start of playback. This hybrid approach offers the perfect balance between tradition and modernity.

Immersive and Authentic Sound Experience

The Platinum EAS Automatic’s meticulous craftsmanship and carefully selected components result in exceptional sound reproduction. Listeners will appreciate the warmth and richness characteristic of vinyl, enhanced by the turntable’s precise playback.

The soundstage is wide and deep, allowing you to rediscover the nuances and details of your favorite recordings. The bass is firm and controlled, the midrange rich and natural, while the treble shines with clarity without harshness.

Seamless Integration into the Sonoro Ecosystem

The Platinum EAS Automatic integrates perfectly into Sonoro’s hi-fi range. It pairs ideally with the Maestro connected amplifier or the all-in-one Meisterstück system. Combined with the brand’s Orchestra speakers, it creates a complete and cohesive audio system, entirely designed and developed in Germany.

This synergy between Sonoro products ensures optimal compatibility and a smooth user experience, whether for traditional wired use or taking advantage of wireless features.
