PHONOGRAPH
THE TURNTABLE BASE FOR THE REGA NAIA
HOUSING AND MATERIALIZATION: Padouk solid wood (no chipboard, no MDF and no HDF panels, no veneers and no veneer layer panels), height-adjustable copper panels, exo-skeleton with copper inlays, 19-fold applied transparent high-gloss lacquer (not colour-pigmented)
TO RECEIVE; the REGA NAIA (graphene impregnated carbon fiber skeleton base with Tancast 8 foam core, ceramic upper and lower struts, zirconium reinforced alumina central bearing, titanium vertical bearing, titanium spindle, tungsten balance staff and weight, skeletonized aluminium feet, ceramic platter and RB Titanium tonearm) and its power supply.
REGA NAIA: Height 115 mm; Width 420 mm; Depth 350 mm; Weight 4.65 kg; Weight power supply 3 kg
DIMENSION AND WEIGHT: Height 322 mm; Width 470 / 530 mm; Depth 470 / 530 mm; Weight 53 kg
The PHONOGRAPH is a synthesis of fine art, concert grand piano making, and above all cutting edge mathematical science with a balance of form and proportion that is derived from golden ratio, prime numbers and Fibonacci sequence geometry: the natural laws of physics and mathematics at the heart of its design.
The turntable base forms a protective cellar for the REGA NAIA. It ensures that no matter which approach to sound dissipation is used (as light and/or as heavy as possible), this concept makes full use of it. Structure-borne and airborne sound components are thus absorbed to the maximum. Vibrations of less than 0.000003 mm/s are absorbed. At very low frequencies of less than 0.1 Hz, there is practically no relative movement between the mass and the housing.
Compared to a conventional CD output signal, the voltage of an MC system is one 10,000th (0.35 mV). To prevent the electromagnetic field of the power supply from contaminating the low voltage of the MC cartridge, a precisely calculated distance was chosen between the power supply tunnel and the turntable protection compartment. Thomas Alva Edison's phonograph and Emil Berliner's gramophones further modulated and influenced the overall design of the record player base.
Our skilled artisans use time honored techniques that have been handed down through generations to produce something that modern engineering and mass production simply cannot replicate. There are very few cabinet makers in the world today who produce work of this quality and detail.
