The SME Model 30/12 Turntable Weighing in at 118 lbs., (including power supply and tonearm) and occupying a 35% greater footprint than the Model 30/2, SME’s new massive Model 30/12 turntable and V-12 tonearm create the new reference standard in analog reproduction. Evolutionary rather than revolutionary, the Model 30/12 was created essentially as a complimentary companion to the superb Series V-12 tonearm (see below), though the reversible arm board also allows for use of SME 9-inch tonearms. Utilizing all technology and features from the Model 30/2, the Model 30/12’s differences are mainly ones of scale. For example, the upgraded suspension now boasts 60 purpose-molded “O” rings creating 120 shock-absorbing strands to support the sub-chassis, which has been increased in thickness by 16%. Additionally the main chassis has received a 19% increase in thickness as well. These enhancements to the area of mass and stability afford an increase in overall rigidity that ensures a vast improvement in acoustic neutrality. In other words, the worlds best turntable just got even better!
