Rekkord Audio M600 High End Manual Sub-Chassis Turntable

Rekkord M600 Delivers Reference-Class Performance in a Handcrafted Manual Turntable

Rekkord M600 manual sub-chassis turntable is a high-performance analogue deck handcrafted in Germany to meet the demands of discerning vinyl listeners. Built with precision and tuned for audiophile-grade playback, the M600 combines elegant construction with advanced mechanical engineering, making it a standout centrepiece in any high-fidelity system.

Rekkord M600 Features a Mass-Loaded Chassis and Vibration-Resistant Design

Rekkord M600 is a manual sub-chassis turntable designed around a dense, rigid wooden plinth that reduces resonant energy and provides a stable platform for playback. The chassis is finished in a choice of satin black or piano gloss black, both of which are visually refined and functionally robust.

A heavy aluminium platter, internally damped with a pouring compound, increases rotational stability and suppresses unwanted resonance. The platter spins on a precision brass bearing seated against a Teflon mirror for exceptionally smooth movement, reduced friction, and long-term reliability. These features ensure stable platter speeds at 33, 45, and 78 RPM, electronically regulated via a low-noise DC motor and polished flat belt drive.

Rekkord M600 Integrates a Custom 8.6" Aluminium Tonearm with VTA Control

Rekkord M600 turntable is fitted with a specially designed 8.6-inch aluminium tonearm, engineered for ultra-precise groove tracking. The tonearm operates on a 4-way ball cardan bearing system machined from solid aluminium, offering exceptionally low friction and fluid movement across the record surface.

The tonearm height (VTA) is user-adjustable, allowing exact cartridge alignment for improved stylus contact and accurate soundstage reproduction. A carbon fibre headshell provides torsional rigidity while minimising resonance, offering the ideal foundation for both factory-fitted and user-selected cartridges. Internal E(asymotion) Wire tonearm cabling preserves audio integrity with minimal signal loss and excellent channel separation.

Rekkord M600 Is Available with or Without the Ortofon Quintet Red Cartridge

Rekkord M600 offers flexibility in setup. For those seeking plug-and-play operation, the turntable is optionally available with a factory-mounted Ortofon Quintet Red MC cartridge. Known for its vivid dynamic range and detailed sonic character, the Quintet Red features an elliptical stylus that tracks with precision, delivering open, balanced sound and outstanding stereo imaging.

For vinyl enthusiasts preferring to use their own cartridge, the Rekkord M600 can be supplied without a cartridge on pre-order. This configuration caters to audiophiles who want to integrate the M600 into an existing setup or match it with a specific cartridge to achieve a desired tonal signature. The universal headshell and standard mount allow seamless compatibility with a wide range of premium moving magnet and moving coil options.

Rekkord M600 Employs Refined Drive System and Smooth Cueing Mechanism

The Rekkord M600 belt-drive system uses a precision flat belt and a speed-controlled DC motor, delivering rotational accuracy and pitch stability across all supported speeds. This setup isolates motor vibrations from the platter, preserving the tonal clarity of vinyl playback.

A viscosity-damped tonearm lift ensures smooth, controlled stylus placement, reducing wear on both records and cartridge. The cueing system also allows gentle lifting mid-playback, enabling track changes or brief pauses without interrupting platter motion.

Rekkord M600 Offers Professional Output and Seamless Integration with Hi-Fi Systems

Rekkord M600 audiophile turntable includes a phono-level RCA output and a dedicated ground connection, ensuring clean signal transfer to any preamp or integrated amplifier with a phono stage. With a signal-to-noise ratio of 72 dB and rumble rejection of 48 dB, the M600 operates with exceptional quietness, revealing low-level musical detail without mechanical interference.

Supplied accessories include RCA interconnects, a dust cover, and a singles adapter, offering a complete out-of-box experience ready for immediate system integration.

Rekkord M600 Reflects German Craftsmanship and Analogue Precision

Hand-assembled in the Black Forest, the Rekkord M600 embodies a legacy of mechanical expertise and modern audiophile innovation. Its minimalist exterior hides a complex, carefully tuned mechanism that brings analogue music to life with warmth, detail, and depth.

Whether chosen with the Ortofon Quintet Red or pre-ordered without a cartridge for a custom build, the Rekkord M600 is engineered to anchor a reference-grade vinyl system with style, accuracy, and long-term reliability.
