SOTA Millennia Vacuum Turntable  Ref: SOTTMILV

The Millennia uses Sota’s internally damped, multi-layer 15-pound vacuum platter system with the ultra Vinyl Format platter mat. It incorporates Sota’s inverted bearing assembly design, utilizing a polished sapphire thrust plate with zirconium bearing. The Sota self-sensing record-hold-down system uses a high-tech pneumatic sensing circuit to provide vacuum clamping and maintenance of exact low-pressure vacuum hold-down. The Millennia’s synthesized sine-wave drive (with electronic speed control and speed change) 24 pole A/C Stepper Motor drive system is housed in a separate, high-mass stand alone cabinet and is powered by Sota’s Electronic Flywheel power supply. Additional damping has been added to the cabinet as well as adjustable feet for fine tuning. The Millennia Vacuum Turntable includes the Cosmos Armboard and Reflex Clamp. The Cosmos Armboard is multi layers of acrylic, aluminum and lead in a constrained mode and high polished. The ultimate mechanical clamping system, the Sota Reflex Clamp assures intimate contact between the record and the mat over its entire surface.
