Micro Seiki was founded in 1961 by Kosaku Komiya as a precision engineering company. Initially, \u00a0it made mechanical components for watches and measuring instruments, and later in 1968 it specialized in turntable production. The company was successful in both Japan and abroad. In Europe it established its position of a luxury brand. The first turntable launched around 1973 was the MR-711 equipped with a direct drive. However, it is the SZ 1T model from 1984 that has become the flagship product. In 1986, the SX 555 FVW turntable was recognized as a reference model by the industry magazine Stereoplay.
\nThe company designed and manufactured all Luxman turntables, as well as produced for brands like: ADC, Denon, Sharp, Toshiba, Hitachi, Sanyo, Sansui, Kenwood, Telefunken, SABA and H. H. Scott. Many devices were also created for brands such as: Quelle, Neckermann and RadioShack. Micro Seiki was a market leader in the research and development of drives and tonearms, but it was also probably the all-time biggest producer of turntables. It never expanded to other audio equipment production.<\/p>\n

The BL-111 is an exceptional belt-drive turntable launched by Micro Seiki in 1980. It is the top model of the “BL” series, made with the highest precision from the best quality and most durable materials. The turntable was equipped with specially selected, massive elements, which were refined to the hundredth of a millimeter to ensure faithful sound reproduction that could surprise even the most demanding listeners. The plate of 10 kg was made of a single piece of bronze and subjected to a unique processing (the same as used by the American Navy in the production of cannons). The bases for mounting the tonearm of the A-1200 series are equally stable and solid. The BL-111, as it is a turntable for experienced users, enables the use of five types of bases and compatible tonearm models:<\/p>\n

A – 1201
\nMicro\/MA – 505X, S, 707X
\nAudio Craft\/AC – 300MK II
\nSaec\/WE – 407\/23
\nTechnics\/EPA – 99<\/p>\n

A – 1202
\nSaec\/WE – 308N, 308SN<\/p>\n

A – 1203
\nFR\/FR – 64, 64S, 14
\nDenon\/DA – 303, 305, 307, 399, 401
\nVictor\/UA – 5045<\/p>\n

A – 1205
\nMicro\/MA – 505XII, SII, 808X
\nAudio Craft\/AC – 3000MC<\/p>\n

A – 1206
\nShure\/SME – 3009SII, SIII<\/p>\n

All operating systems, such as the power switch and speed control, were centrally located at the top of the enclosure, for easy use.<\/p>\n

The presented model is equipped with the legendary SME 3009 tonearm, widely regarded as one of the most iconic tonearms in the history of analog audio. Designed and manufactured in Great Britain by SME (Scale Model Equipment), it has served as a benchmark for vinyl enthusiasts and designers of the world’s finest turntables for decades. The SME 3009 combines timeless elegance with exceptional engineering precision. Its lightweight yet remarkably rigid construction was developed to achieve maximum tracking accuracy and extract the finest details from the record groove. High-quality low-friction bearings provide outstanding freedom of movement, while the precise tracking force adjustment system and highly effective anti-skating mechanism allow perfect matching with a wide range of phono cartridges. The advanced geometry of the tonearm and its carefully controlled resonance characteristics enable it to reveal an extraordinary amount of detail while preserving the naturality, musicality and emotional character of the recording. Every aspect of the design was engineered to ensure accurate tracking, low distortion and consistent performance across a wide variety of musical genres. It is no coincidence that the SME 3009 became one of the most widely used tonearms in reference analog systems throughout the world. Its exceptional operating refinement, reliability and timeless design have made it one of the most desirable and highly respected tonearms among collectors and enthusiasts of high-end analog audio. Even today, decades after its introduction, the SME 3009 remains a symbol of British engineering excellence and one of the most sought-after tonearms ever produced.<\/p>\n

In our projects we do not use veneers that are thin, unreliable and, above all, not resistant to damage! <\/strong><\/h5>\n
We use only the highest quality veneers,\u00a0 i.e. wood sheets of 3-5mm thickness. Thanks to this solution and the bonding technology we have developed, our products are equipped with durable and beautiful enclosures.<\/h5>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":53888,"template":"","meta":{"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false},"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[590],"product_tag":[536,542,540,736,584,758,270,737,738],"class_list":["post-53878","product","type-product","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","product_cat-turntables","product_tag-audio-equipment","product_tag-audio-equipment-after-renovation","product_tag-equipment-audio-vintage","product_tag-retro-turntable","product_tag-gramofon-en","product_tag-turntable-after-renovation","product_tag-vintage-en","product_tag-vintage-turntable","product_tag-vintage-turntable-after-renovation","product_shipping_class-big-columns","first","instock","featured","sold-individually","shipping-taxable","purchasable","product-type-simple"],"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t
