IF you own Exposure Electronics amplification and have been hoping for an analogue source from the UK hi-fi company, here’s the good news – say hello to the new 360 turntable.
“This is a case of ‘you asked, we listened’. Our customers have, for a while, been asking us for an Exposure turntable that seamlessly complements our range of electronics,” the company explains.
The Exposure 360 has been crafted in collaboration with a leading British turntable manufacturer, we’re told. Guess which one?
“It is designed to be that perfect partner for the Exposure range, as well as being in keeping with the company’s ethos of creating products that consistently outperform their direct competitors at prices that are as astounding as their performance.”
The 360 has super lightweight plinth, in which a core of polyurethane foam, a material developed for the aerospace industry, is sandwiched between an extremely thin and rigid high-pressure laminate.
“The dual-layer float glass platter’s increased mass, designed for high speed stability, sits atop the sub-platter, which in turn is part of the bearing assembly and comprises a single piece of machined aluminium, also designed for enhanced speed stability. The bearing features an ultra-low friction brass hub which is anchored to the plinth using a machined aluminium collar.”
The low-noise, synchronous 24-volt motor is driven by an aluminium drive pulley with belt. A dedicated, separate power supply, hand-tuned and precision-matched to the motor for each turntable unit, prevents the entry of unwanted noise and ensures that delicate low-level signals are protected from potential sources of interference. The power supply unit has push-button speed selection, advanced anti-vibration control and electronic fine speed adjustment.
“The 360’s integrated tonearm features an arm tube designed using intelligent redistribution of mass to ensure fewer points of possible resonance, while its mounting is braced to the bearing housing to ensure maximum rigidity and accuracy.”
The Isolation feet are made from santoprene rubber and reinforced by aluminium.
The 360 comes in a grey matt finish with high gloss black polymer edge trim and a red turntable mat. The turntable is supplied with a smoked polystyrene dust cover. Partner the 360 with your choice of MM or MC cartridge.
The Exposure 360 turntable is available now, priced at £1,300.
Now, given all the clues here, and the photo, we’ll let you guess the company Exposure partnered with for the 360.
