The crystal clear sound you want from a turntable

The U-Turn Audio Orbit Special Turntable sound starts with the acrylic platter, which offers improved rotational consistency for clearer playback and overall warmer sound. The external, low-noise motor on this record player moves operational sounds away from the needle so you hear only the music, not the vinyl player.  Since every turntable is designed and individually tuned in U-Turn Audio’s Massachusetts workshop, you will experience a precise sound that’s rigorously tested and truly unique.

As for the needle itself, every Orbit Plus vinyl record player comes with a pre-installed Ortofon 2M Red Cartridge, a magnetic cartridge designed for optimal tracking and limited surface noise. Even your well-loved and most worn records will skip less and sound better.

Easy operation that puts you in control

A built-in adjustable counterweight on the turntable's tonearm gives you control over the precision with which the needle tracks record grooves, avoiding damage to your records or a distorted sound. The manual cue lever on this vinyl turntable lets you drop the needle exactly where you want, while remaining easy to operate. Plus, it's fast and easy to switch between 33 and 45 rpms, depending on your record collection. No more nickels taped to the cartridge — just the perfect sound just the way you want it.

A turntable that looks as good as it sounds

Made with sustainably-sourced American rift walnut or maple, the U-Turn Audio Orbit Special Turntable offers a stylish, warm look that can fit seamlessly into almost any decor. As a result, the standout design on this record player meets both function and fashion. Plus, the included dust mat and felt cover help keep your turntable in pristine condition, meaning less maintenance and more time enjoying your vinyl collection.

Ready to use out of the box

Out of the box, your Orbit Special turntable includes everything you need to start enjoying your music collection. Just plug it into your sound system via the supplied RCA cables, and start listening to your records as they were meant to be heard.

The cornerstone of your vinyl experience

The Orbit Special record player offers a clear, distortion-free, neutral sound profile that fits in seamlessly with almost any sound system. That means the right sound no matter the kind of music you love.

If you love the Orbit Special’s look, the Audioengine HD3 Powered Speakers come in a matching walnut and offer a compact, powerful sound. They also feature a versatile input so you can switch from your turntable to another audio source with ease.

If you want to truly hear every ting on the triangle and strum of the guitar, try pairing the Orbit Special with the SVS Prime Tower Speaker. Featuring crossover points for each woofer, this all-in-one speaker provides low frequency extension and an accurate, impressive mid-range that takes full advantage of your turntable’s crystal-clear sound profile.

beautiful looking and sounding turntable. No frills, just all the good stuff. Upgraded to this TT from an AT-LP120, which was a nice table with all it's bells and whistles, but i was looking for something with more style and better sound. I've made the right choice. Getting the belt on was a few minutes of audible groaning, but after that i've spent many hours already this week enjoying my collection.
