VPI Model One Turntable

VPI Model One Turntable

COMING SOON! 

VPI is pleased to unveil Model One, the first turntable in its new Forever Series. Drawing on over 45 years of experience in high-end audio manufacturing, VPI’s design and engineering team has crafted this stunning new turntable. The Forever Series ushers in a new era of performance and modularity, offering products that can evolve with the user.

At the heart of the VPI Model One is the new motor drive and platter module. This module is mounted on a thick aluminium plate and features resonance-cancelling damping to reduce vibrations and enhance sound clarity. The belt-driven motor operates at 500 rpm and features a two-speed pulley for precise speed control. Its inverted bearing minimises surface area contact between the platter and bearing, reducing friction and boosting performance.

A standout feature of the VPI Model One is the new VPI S-Tonearm Module, which offers enhanced precision and build quality. This 10-inch, S-shaped, statically balanced tonearm features solid aluminium architecture to eliminate tube resonances, ensuring pure sound reproduction. Vertical Tracking Adjustment in the arm base allows for precise height adjustments, while Azimuth adjustment is available in the headshell. ABEC 5 bearings provide ultra-low friction, eliminating chatter and ensuring long life. One continuous length of VPI high-purity copper wire runs from the headshell to the RCA connection, delivering a pure signal.

The Model One also introduces VPI’s new 3-Point Floating Suspension system, designed for superior isolation from external vibrations. This advanced 3D isolation system stabilises the turntable, minimising motor noise and reducing both external and internal vibrations.
