They said perfection was impossible, strive for excellence and settle for a job well done. Acutus was born from twenty years of chasing perfection and remains almost unchanged today after a quarter century in production. Launching not only the company, but an ethos to strive for perfection in everything we do, today it is the Acutus Classic.
Introducing the Acutus Dark Iron, an exquisite rendition that revolutionizes both aesthetics and functionality in the world of audio equipment. Melding unparalleled sound quality with a stunning new colour scheme, this rendition redefines elegance and innovation. The Dark Iron variant radiates sophistication, boasting a captivating hue that accentuates its sleek design and embodies a timeless allure.
SEQUEL RANGE
Allowing you to experience the very best that vinyl has to offer, the Sequel will impress you with its combination of crisp clean clarity, outstanding solidity and precise sound.
Cascading key features from our iconic Acutus, Sequel has a focus and immediacy, coupled with delicacy and finesse that is very beguiling.
Many of the engineering innovations we have pioneered in our flagship models are equally relevant to all our turntables.
Nowhere is this more evident than in the Volvere and having evolved over two decades, this latest generation incorporating our latest external DSP signal-generating power supply, which totally removes the vagaries of the mains signal, allows the precise calibration of motor speed so everything is pitch perfect.
DIVA II RANGE
The Diva II SP may look near identical to the more affordable Diva II, but in practice, the SP is streets ahead of its already impressive junior sibling. Greater tonal depth, vastly improved detail retrieval, and an immaculate sense of timing ensure riveting listening.
INGENIUM PLUG&PLAY
Since its introduction in 2013, the Ingenium has been winning awards globally and become the benchmark for entry level audiophile players. With the increased popularity of vinyl, especially with novice customers and younger enthusiasts, in 2018 we raised the bar yet again of this popular design.
Ingenium Plug&Play builds on its predecessor, retaining many features, making some aesthetic improvements and a more straightforward installation. Complete with quality fitted tonearm and cartridge, it is ready to use within ten minutes.... really Plug&Play
AVID: 'A Very Interesting Design'
In 1977 when a friend showed the 16-year-old Conrad Mas his home constructed turntable, claiming that it was perfect, it triggered a lifelong obsession: to produce a genuinely flawless turntable, one without compromise.
Over the coming years, starting from scratch, Conrad re-examined and questioned every element of existing turntable design and manufacture, even when the textbooks said impossible. He soon realised that all turntables were limiting their true fidelity, typically because they concentrated on the technical values of rumble, wow and flutter measurements without attacking the real problem: vibration!
Family connections provided Conrad with access to universities that wanted to test his new theories, patents were applied for and the young man even started working in a foundry to better understand the process of casting metals. Little by little new designs emerged, step by step a radical project moved from paper into production and after almost two decades the Acutus turntable was born. Not just an improvement over existing decks, but a true innovation.
Today, the company has fulfilled Conrad’s dream of designing a complete analogue audio system, from ‘groove to ear’. From cartridges and cables, amplifiers and speakers and now everything in-between, AVID is universally recognised as providing the pinnacle of listening pleasure through unstinting research and development in sound engineering.
Operating from two factories in England, with distribution across some 50 countries, the AVID team is dedicated to pushing the physical and technical barriers in search of more than just sound quality and flawless design. Music should be an experience to savour and remember, captivating you, opening up thrilling new sound barriers every time you relax and unwind.
Today, Conrad is CEO of the company he founded back in 1995. But he is a CEO with a difference, remaining at the cutting edge of every innovation in equipment that now takes the listener all the way, from vinyl record to final sound.
AVID a complete, and completely engrossing, experience.
