Suspension
The platter is held above the chassis in a magnetic field, creating the visible floating state before playback begins.
Technology
Levitation,

controlled.
ML1 suspends its platter in a stable magnetic field before playback begins. The engineering is precise. The result is visible.
What Levitation Means
The platter does not rest on the chassis.
In a conventional turntable, the platter is mechanically supported by a bearing, spindle or contact structure. In ML1, the platter is held above the base by magnetic levitation.
There is no belt. There is no axle. The direct mechanical connection between motor and platter is removed entirely.
The Levitation Principle
Two magnetic fields. One stable gap.
ML1 creates a stable suspension zone beneath the platter. The levitation gap does not drift and does not require active correction during playback.
Stability
The levitation gap remains stable during playback without active correction. The floating platter is the operating condition, not a temporary effect.
Separation
With no belt and no axle, rotation is controlled without the traditional mechanical connection between motor and platter.
The First Movement
The platter rises before the first note.
The first thing ML1 does is silent. Before the stylus reaches the groove, before the record begins to turn, the platter rises into position.
That moment is the point of the technology: the engineering is not hidden. It is the beginning of playback.
Controlled Motion
Stable playback. Two speeds.
The floating platter rotates at controlled speed without a traditional belt or axle. ML1 supports both standard playback speeds for vinyl listening.
33⅓ RPM
Standard playback speed for 12-inch vinyl records.
45 RPM
Playback speed for 7-inch records and releases that require faster rotation.
UPS Safety System
The platter never falls unsupported.
If power is interrupted, the UPS Safety System triggers in under 200 milliseconds. The tonearm lifts and support feet rise beneath the floating platter before it settles.
Power interruption detected
The UPS Safety System detects the interruption and triggers the safety sequence.
Tonearm lifts
The tonearm is raised from the record surface to protect the stylus and the groove.
Support feet rise
Support feet rise beneath the platter before the floating state is lost.
Platter settles safely
The platter comes down onto support, not onto the chassis unsupported.
What Levitation Changes
Engineering you can see.
Levitation changes the mechanical structure of the turntable, but it also changes the way playback begins.
Less mechanical contact
The platter floats above the chassis instead of resting on a traditional bearing or spindle.
A visible playback ritual
The rise of the platter becomes part of the listening sequence before the record begins.
A sculptural presence
A floating platter changes the object in the room. ML1 is not simply a turntable with a visual effect; the visible suspension is the structure.
Calibration & Precision
Controlled rotation is verified, not assumed.
Every ML1 is checked during calibration. Reflective markers beneath the platter are used to verify rotational precision and speed accuracy.
The levitation may be visible from across the room, but the precision is confirmed at the workshop.
