DIVA II(sp)™ - Black Turntable

Diva II SP: High-End Performance Turntable

The Diva II SP is an advanced analogue turntable designed to deliver dynamic sound with exceptional clarity and precision. Although it shares a similar aesthetic with the Diva II, the SP significantly raises the performance bar. Its enhanced tonal depth, remarkable detail retrieval, and impeccable timing create an immersive and riveting listening experience. By borrowing the power supply from the Volvere turntable and incorporating cutting-edge engineering, the Diva II SP embodies high-end audio excellence.

DSP-Controlled Power Supply

At the heart of the Diva II SP lies its DSP-controlled PSU, which completely eliminates inconsistencies in the mains power signal. This state-of-the-art digital signal processing engine provides precise calibration of the motor speed, ensuring smooth, controlled playback across all frequencies. By regulating power delivery, the DSP enhances bass and treble definition, delivering a sound that’s both smooth and dynamically rich. The result is tighter instrument separation, deeper bass extension, and a broader, more engaging soundstage.

Twin Belt Drive System

The twin belt drive system is a critical component that ensures superior platter stability. This dual-belt mechanism tightens up the sound, allowing instruments and vocals to emerge with greater clarity and detail. The added stability also helps maintain the rhythmic pace of your music, so each record plays with perfect timing. This precise control of the platter, coupled with the vibration-absorbing 5kg motor housing, prevents mechanical noise from colouring the audio, ensuring that every performance is true to the original recording.

Vibration-Tuned Chassis

The vibration-tuned chassis of the Diva II SP is crafted to provide maximum isolation from external disturbances. Machined from solid steel, it locks the tonearm and bearing in place to prevent any unwanted movement that could degrade audio quality. The chassis is also coated to absorb high-frequency vibrations, aligning them with low-frequency energy dissipation. This meticulous vibration management allows the turntable to produce a focused, neutral sound, free from any resonance or distortion.

Triple-Layer Suspension System

The triple-layer suspension further enhances the Diva II SP’s ability to isolate the music from external vibrations. Using Sorbothane, a high-absorption elastomer, the system damps vertical movement, while an additional foot layer adds a final level of isolation. This combination ensures that mechanical noise and acoustic feedback are kept to an absolute minimum, preserving every nuance of the original recording.

Heavy Aluminium Platter

The Diva II SP features a heavy aluminium platter that works in harmony with the screw-down record clamp and sapphire bearing. This setup drastically reduces background noise, enabling an incredibly quiet playback environment. The platter's mass provides high rotational inertia, which enhances speed stability and keeps your music perfectly timed. The cork composite mat offers an optimal interface between the record and the platter, ensuring that any vibration is efficiently transmitted to the subchassis.

Precision Bearing System

The turntable’s sapphire jewelled thrust point bearing, inherited from the Sequel and Volvere models, provides a significant upgrade over conventional designs. This bearing is self-lubricating and maintenance-free, ensuring a lifetime of smooth operation. Its self-centring design eliminates lateral movement and reduces rumble, making the Diva II SP exceptionally quiet and stable. By transmitting vibration from the record to the chassis with pinpoint accuracy, the bearing delivers smooth, open sound with rich detail and dynamic range.

Dynamic, Detailed Sound

Thanks to its meticulous design, the Diva II SP delivers an audio experience filled with dynamic sound and immersive detail. From the lowest bass notes to the highest treble frequencies, the turntable’s precision engineering guarantees a clean, transparent sound that’s full of life. Its ability to control vibration, eliminate noise, and ensure perfect timing allows your music to be heard exactly as intended, with every detail rendered faithfully.

With a combination of advanced features like the twin belt drive, DSP power control, and vibration-tuned chassis, the Diva II SP stands in a class of its own. For audiophiles seeking a truly high-end turntable, the Diva II SP offers the ultimate in sound reproduction.
