Transrotor Alto: The Masterpiece of Adjustable Precision

TMD Magnetic Drive Innovation: At the core of the Alto lies the TMD (Transrotor Magnetic Drive). This hydrodynamic bearing uses a sophisticated magnetic coupling to transfer motion. By severing the physical connection between the drive motor and the platter, the TMD system effectively filters out motor noise and rotational jitter. The result is an incredibly stable, fluid rotation that allows your records to be heard against a backdrop of absolute silence.

The Industry-Leading Tonearm Base: The Alto’s defining feature is its ultra-sophisticated tonearm base. It offers a level of adjustability rarely seen in high-end audio:

• Precision Alignment: The pivoting arm-board allows for perfect mounting distance adjustments.

• On-the-Fly VTA: A large, knurled dial at the base enables smooth vertical height adjustments, which can be locked into place with a lateral tension knob. This ensures that your stylus rake angle is perfectly optimized for any cartridge or vinyl thickness.

A Future-Proof Open System: Designed to evolve, the Alto can accommodate up to three tonearms and dual motors for enhanced torque. The external motor block is decoupled by a specialized silicone-ringed aluminum disc, ensuring zero resonance transfer. When paired with reference components like the TRA 9 tonearm or a Merlo Reference MC cartridge, the Alto achieves a level of synergy that redefines the analog soundstage.
