Reed Muse 1C
Turntable
Reed Muse 1C is their first step into traditional design, middle range turntable market, while keeping their commitment to the highest quality and representing their passion for innovations.
Shaped with traditional 70’s design elements in mind, Reed Muse 1C features robust, stable and resonance-free wooden body, however a lot of Muse 1C technologies, including main bearing and drive traction control, are inherited from their flagship Muse 3C.
Traditionally, Muse 1C can play 33 and 45 RPM records.
However if you have 16 RPM or 78 RPM LPs, you will find these operation modes in Muse 1C as well.
For your convenience, 78 RPM speed can be manually adjusted in range of 70-85 RPM.
Muse 1C also features electronic inclinometer (electronic level dedicated to measure turntable slope/tilt angle), which allows the user to achieve perfect horizontal alignment without using additional tools.
Muse 1C can be fitted with one centre or off-centre mount tonearm with effective length ranging from 9.5 to 12 inch.
