New from British turntable legends, Michell, comes the Revolv. A turntable that brings decades of engineering excellence from the Gyro to an extended product range, allowing more audiophiles to experience the precision, clarity and enduring quality that defines the Michell name.

Positioned between the minimalist TecnoDec and the new Gyro, Revolv elevates the design ethos and engineering achievements from the past four decades, reimagining just how good the TecnoDec platform can be when mixed with elements from the Gyro.

 “The GyroDec has long been a much coveted product for discerning audiophiles. Now, with the launch of Revolv, we’ve taken many of the key Gyro features, such as the constant development of skeleteal turntable design, and developments in manufacturing and measurement, to provide a deck with the highest levels of musical detail and dynamism for its price point,“ remarks Jonathan Nye, managing director of Michell Audio. “We are very confident that this engineering tour-de-force will delight many fans of analogue music reproduction and can’t wait for them to experience it.”

Revolv is a rigid design, which provides direct mechanical grounding from its inert 19mm aerospace-grade aluminium chassis, machined from a single block. The high mass design provides a stable mechanical foundation to control and dissipate unwanted vibrations. The feet each incorporate six bespoke Sorbothane™ damping nodes to isolate the turntable from external vibration. These innovations, combined with the precision tonearm mounting, rigidly coupled to the chassis for optimal energy transfer and cartridge stability, minimise colouration for precise dynamic control, enhanced low-level resolution and the preservation of nuance in the music.

One of the most famous of Gyro innovations, the inverted bearing, is carried over to the Revolv. A mono-helix groove actively circulates oil to the thrust point and bearing walls for consistent low-friction rotation. This ensures minimal wear and longevity and clearly demonstrates Michell’s ethos of robust engineering solutions that do not follow the convention if there is a better way.

Another proven feature is the Delrin® platter, a material chosen for its vibration damping properties and a boundary impedance closely matched to vinyl, which gives it a very neutral sound characteristic. As with the Gryo, the platter includes the signature solid-turned brass weights. These give the platter extra mass and subsequently more momentum when spinning, which serves to greatly improve speed stability and keep wow and flutter to ultra low levels.

Drive comes from a new isolated, free-standing motor and highly regulated PSU that is grounded and electromagnetically shielded to prevent interference. Machined as a clamshell, from a single billet of aluminium, the housing for the power supply follows the design cues of the recently launched Apollo phono stage. Speed selection, 33.3 or 45 RPM, is easily controlled via electronic switching.

The UK designed and manufactured Revolv has been created to grow with its owner. The minimalist footprint, timeless engineering and upgrade-ready architecture makes it a turntable that can be built up and built around, to give many years of listening pleasure and genuine pride of ownership.

Michell Revolv will be available from November
