Product Overview & Specifications
Positioned between the minimalist TecnoDec and the fully suspended Gyro, the Michell Engineering Revolv is an unsuspended, high-precision turntable handcrafted in the UK. Engineered for absolute clarity, speed stability, and emotional engagement, the Revolv features a 19 mm solid aerospace-grade aluminum tooling plate chassis designed for direct mechanical grounding, paired with Sorbothane™ vibration-dampening feet containing six specialized damping nodes to decouple the deck from environmental micro-resonances.
The turntable employs a high-inertia Delrin® platter fitted with 10 mm peripheral brass weights to optimize rotational momentum and pitch stability. Its inverted mono-helix oil-circulating main bearing continuously lubricates the contact point during playback. Driven by a freestanding, fully grounded, and shielded motor pod machined from solid aluminum billets, the system physically isolates motor vibrations from the platter and tonearm while offering electronic speed selection.
KEY FEATURES & PROPRIETARY TECHNOLOGIES
- 19 mm Aerospace-Grade Aluminum Chassis: Precision-machined solid tooling plate providing an ultra-rigid, unsuspended platform for direct mechanical grounding.
- Freestanding Shielded Motor Pod & Electronic PSU: Freestanding motor housing machined from solid aluminum billets, linked via a shielded interconnect to eliminate vibration transfer and RF noise. Includes electronic speed control.
- Delrin® Platter with Peripheral Brass Mass: High-density Delrin® platter featuring 10 mm peripheral brass weights to maximize peripheral mass and rotational inertia.
- Inverted Mono-Helix Main Bearing: Hydrodynamic oil-circulating inverted bearing drawing oil to the thrust ball for smooth, friction-free operation.
- Sorbothane™ Isolation Feet: Features six vibration-damping nodes per foot to absorb structure-borne resonances and room feedback.
- Precision Tonearm Coupling: Rigid tonearm mounting via a custom-machined aluminum arm plate; upgrade-ready modular architecture.
- Handmade in the UK: Designed, engineered, and hand-assembled in the United Kingdom.
