ORIGIN LIVE SWIFT MK5

ORIGIN LIVE SWIFT Mk5

PLEASE NOTE: We import OL Turntables in to order, as everyone wants something different we cannot keep a “standard” table in stock to suit all needs! Made to order means you get the latest version with latest updates and any options you might want in the one ready to go package.

The Swift adds the Multi-Layer Platter to the basic design of the Aurora turntable, with its cantilevered design, motor power supply and decoupled arm board. The MLP layers work to diffuse surface resonance in the platter through vibrational interference, resulting in a texture in the music freed from resonant artefacts. This new turntable delivers a performance that surpasses its price point by miles, offering a sure investment for your system.

LIGHTSPEED: The Mk5 Motor Power Supply introduces a new PCB in the PSU on all decks offering even more speed stability and improved sonic performance than the former Light Speed Controller. Common problems like speed drift, motor jitter and cogging are avoided. Speed settings for 33.33 and 45 RPM are operated through one knob with no need for belt/platter change.

DC100 MOTOR: These high-grade Swiss motors demonstrate the powerful, smooth-running needed in a good turntable motor. Ironless cores eliminate eddy currents which result in low “clogging”, low vibration and speed stability. Motors are decoupled to minimize vibration and reduce audible noise.

MULTI LAYER PLATTER: The Multi Layer Platter (MLP) is trickle down tech from our flagship Voyager turntable, featuring an intricately designed top with over 1000 individual slots laser cut through the top layer. Combined with another composite layer underneath and carefully screwed on to the acrylic platter. The MLP layers work to diffuse surface resonance in the platter through vibrational interference, resulting in a texture in the music which is freed up from resonant artefacts.

BELT: The belt is manufactured in house using special material which increases grip and reduces stretch under instantaneous loading, using a unique material which dramatically improves on widely used neoprene rubber – benefits include increased dynamics and deeper bass performance.

STADARED ARMBOARD: Our standard armboard provides premium performance for the price point. Decoupled from the rest of the turntable, the armboard is balanced in equilibrium with the platter and bearing house.

ULTRA LOW FRICTION BEARING: Made in house, the new MK4 bearing has ultra low levels of vibration. The spindle rotates on a Tungsten carbide ball bearing centered on a hardened thrust pad for low friction and long life. Low bearing friction is essential to avoid vibration. Unlike decks which “float” the platter using air or magnetic bearings, we believe “earthing” the energy out of the platter is essential for sound purity.

HI-SPEC SUBCHASSIS: The sub-chassis plate balances the armboard with the platter and bearing house, decoupling both from the turntable plinth. Its mass heavy design also helps to effectively damp vibration travelling through the armboard and platter.

SUSPENSION SYSTEM: Our unique suspension avoids both the softening of leading edges often found in suspended designs and the hardness in many non-suspended designs. The results are:

Superior pitch, rhythm, and timing

Rock-solid imaging

Reduced colouration

Refined presentation of low-level information

Easy to follow separation in the music and vocals
