SME Model 15

摘要

Readers familiar with the SME range will recognise instantly that this new £5373 design is, in essence, the much-loved Model 10 'with a full suspension'. It increases the space requirements but is still a relatively compact turntable, and looks so, thanks to the absence of a rectangular base. SME has realised that clients liked the compactness of the Model 10 but wanted the added benefits of a true suspended chassis, as in the Model 20/3 [HFN Mar '11]. How this was done is sublimely clever. SME added three 'circles' to the bottom plate, and fitted the towers with one near the arm, a second at 10 o'clock and the last front-and-centre. As a three-footed construct, it's easy to level, especially thanks to the adjustable feet, offering perfect fine-tuning as regards height, isolation and other parameters that the Model 10 achieves only with careful placement.
