The Ovation turntable features a chassis made of aluminium and bullet-proof wood. Up to 100,000 tiny, stainless-steel balls are integrated into the precision-machined wood corpus for effective resonance absorption. The DC motor is powerful and smooth-running, with Optical Speed Control technology continuously monitoring a micro infrared strobe to ensure exact speed stability. The drive system is operated by four buttons, illuminated in blue, that are ergonomically integrated into the front left of the chassis.
