The Dohmann Helix One Mk3 turntable is engineered to deliver unparalleled performance in analog playback. It results from many years of research, development, collaboration and listening by internationally acclaimed analogue designer Mark Döhmann and his team. See this YouTube video.
When a stylus moves through the grooves of a record, it converts vibrational energy into an electric signal. The shape and cut of the grooves contain an immense amount of information. The objective of any quality analog music system is to interpret this information as accurately as possible. For that to happen, the stylus needs to operate in an environment free of any vibrational energy & resonance that is not a result of its interaction with the grooves. However, in practice, there is a lot of energy moving through a turntable system that the stylus picks up in addition to the vibrations associated with the grooves it is designed to do. This unwanted energy can be heard as distortion, smear, added harmonics, and channel imbalances. These types of sonic phenomena often obscure the micro details within the recording and add a colouration to the music.
The Dohmann Helix One Mk3 turntable was designed to create the ultimate turntable system in mind. Döhmann Audio has incorporated some unique design features and technologies to achieve this ambition, including a fully integrated MinusK vibration isolation system utilizing NSM technology.
The PowerBase contains the power supply, control software to drive the new motor and special high frequency / RF absorption features. It also contains a suspension stabiliser to lock the table from moving during record changeover, a lighting control system and power filtration functions.
