AVID VOLVERE™ Turntable

Precision and Power: The Heart of the Volvere Turntable

The Volvere is a turntable that brings engineering excellence into your listening space, delivering impeccable sound quality through innovative design and cutting-edge technology. Built on over two decades of refinement, this turntable integrates AVID’s DSP signal-generating power supply, ensuring pitch-perfect sound by eliminating mains interference and precisely calibrating motor speed.

Twin Belt Drive System and High-Torque Motor

At the core of the Volvere’s standout performance is its twin belt drive system, paired with a high-torque 55mNm motor. This motor provides four times the power of most alternatives, enhancing the rotational dynamics of the platter. The result? Music that is sharp and responsive, with no bass overhang to muddle the precision of notes. This is essential for maintaining the rhythm and tempo of any track, from the pulsing beats of rock to the nuanced flow of jazz.

The twin belt system ensures a perfect synergy between the motor and the platter, contributing to the dynamic bass response that makes the Volvere exceptional. Every note is played with clarity, with fast starts and stops, delivering the authentic sound experience audiophiles crave.

Unique Sapphire Bearing and Vibration Isolation

The Volvere’s engineering extends to its sapphire jewelled bearing, which eliminates lateral movement and reduces rumble noise. This component is inspired directly from AVID’s flagship designs and is paired with a tungsten carbide ball and fixed spindle. Together, they create a virtually silent system that allows listeners to enjoy the true essence of their music without the interference of mechanical noise.

To further enhance the listening experience, the Volvere’s frequency-tuned suspension system isolates external vibrations, ensuring that the stylus reads the grooves of the record without interference. Tuned to 3.5Hz, the suspension system blocks external disturbances from affecting the cartridge, creating a clean, distortion-free sound. This fine-tuning is vital for protecting records and ensuring accurate playback.

Substantial Sound and Sonic Clarity

With its heavy platter, precision-machined from solid aluminium and balanced with mass loading at the edges, the Volvere excels at delivering deep, authoritative bass. The integration of a high-density rubber absorbing ring acts as a wave trap, removing any lingering vibrations. Combined with a cork mat that reflects vibrations through the spindle and subchassis, the result is a stable, focused soundstage that captures the depth and breadth of any recording.

Listeners are often drawn to Volvere’s ability to transport them into the performance, whether it’s a thunderous bassline or the delicate subtleties of a symphony. The remarkable noise floor allows instruments to float within the soundstage, offering unparalleled front-to-back depth and left-to-right width. Every musical nuance is revealed, from the textural richness of strings to the punchy resonance of drums.

Single Action Record Clamp for Precision Playback

The Volvere comes equipped with a single action clamp, made from solid aluminium with a stainless-steel grounding point. This clamp automatically flattens records against the platter, ensuring proper coupling and preventing warping or unwanted movement during playback. The grounding element also aids in dissipating negative vibrations, allowing for better audio fidelity and more detail retrieval from each record.

This record clamp is key to reducing surface noise and preserving the integrity of the music, ensuring the listener hears the purest possible sound from their vinyl collection.

Bespoke DSP Power Supply for Consistent Performance

Integral to the Volvere’s high-level performance is its bespoke DSP power supply, a feature adapted from AVID’s reference models. The digital signal processing power supply eliminates the unpredictability of mains power, providing consistent motor speed calibration. This precision ensures that the music is always perfectly pitched, giving listeners the satisfaction of hearing their records exactly as the artist intended.

Timeless Craftsmanship and Innovation

The Volvere is not just a turntable; it’s a masterpiece of precision engineering. Designed and handcrafted with bespoke components like the subchassis, which is cast from large grain aluminium for optimal rigidity, and coated to dampen high-frequency vibrations, every detail of the Volvere is meticulously designed to ensure a neutral, focused sound. This high level of craftsmanship ensures that no musical information is lost, and the listener is drawn into a truly immersive experience.

Through its combination of innovative technology and time-honoured engineering principles, the Volvere turntable stands as a musical master capable of delivering breathtaking performance across all genres.
