INTRODUCING THE WORLDS HEAVIEST AND ONLY COPPER RIM DRIVE TABLE IN THE WORLD

Why: Copper is the densest and most ductile(soft but tough) and lowest resonance of all non ferrous metals and produces an extremely stable platter for the ULTIMATE vinyl playback.

The same size platter in Aluminium is 35 Lbs vs. 80 lbs for copper.

How does such a massive platter stop...common question

The platter has a 6 second start up and and 8 second breaking to a full stop, and the motor acts as a platter break when loading records....

This is no secret but has cost prohibitive until now YOU CAN BUY factory direct, manufactured in our Aerospace facility click to see the manufacturing of the platter......

Turntables of the calibur sell for $100,000.00. The MOMENTUS is $ 24,999.00 a factory direct price. The table has $ 7500.00 of precious metals prior to manufacture.

40kg PURE COPPER PLATTER WITH PATENT PENDING DECOUPLED RIM DRIVE SYSTEM

We have developed the world’s purest (99.9999 % copper) and most massive copper platters for the MOMENTUS and (coming soon) GEM Rim Drive turntables.

Inspired by our restoration work on the ONKYO PX-100M. We re-machined two factory platters to original condition (25 LB PLATTER.....THE momentus is 88LBS)) and the sound produced by this platter was remarkable. The fact is only 50 were produced and the market value is anywhere from $ 20,000.00 to $40,000.00 US fund.

The other famous tables includes the MICRO SEIKI DX 5000 with 35 LB Copper Platter (Gunmetal was also a term used) but the shape and function was not optimized based on today’s understanding of resonance and platter control.(Information link on ONKYO) http://www.audioscope.net/onkyo-px100m-p-2083.html

MOMENTUS "The MONSTER" Platter

RIM Drive and the monstrous moment of inertia produces speed accuracy and dynamics never before heard.

The largest PURE copper platter ever manufactured and in use today

DC Servo Direct Rim Drive Super Torque with 24,000 pulse drive control (each revolution counts 24,000 points for accuracy and the MOMENT of inertia combined with the rim drive provides perfect rotational accuracy

Material: 99.999% pure copper

Includes Stainless Steel eye Bolts and lifting bar for platter installation (see pic end of page)

Vinyl Drive Rim

Bearing Shaft is Pure Micro Grain Carbide .5 inch diameter x 1.5 inches deep

Platter Weight: 88Lbs 40 Kg's

Platter Dimensions: 11.7 Inches Top Section and 13.5 inch rim drive diameter x 2.125 thick

CNC machined within .0003 (less than a micron) in total cylindricity

Table Dimensions: 23 inches Wide - 17 inches Deep - 8 inches Tall - with Center Weight 9.5inches Tall

Total Weight: 200-220Lbs

TTW Audio takes the COPPER platter to direct rim drive and this seriously raises the bar for high performance turntable speed and dynamics as well as the quitest, ink black backgorund possible..

Our machining capability and experience and large 5 AXIS mill turn CNC machining Centers allow us to machine the platter to weights and tolerance previously not possible.

The MOMENTUS COPPER platter begins life at 105 Pounds water cut from solid billet of aged copper plate, no expense spared. The purest material manufactured in the USA.

Rotational MASS and Energy Management; The newly engineered PURE COPPER platter is the result of years of engineering and machined as a single unit providing “ZERO " platter run out and "ZERO " out of round, and ZERO out of balance.

Our proprietary assembly and final machining techniques make for the worlds heaviest and MOST ACCURATE platter, and yes we can prove it. The platter is machined to the highest end of Aerospace tolerances that are seen when we machine jet engine rings and components. The same care, quality and craftsmanship are instilled in our design and machining processes.

Using in house tooling designed for aircraft rings and components we are able to machine all the features simultaneously - specifically the outer rim and the bearing bore, .0001 maximum run out after machining. The revised carbide bearing system with improved manufacturing techniques providing 0 out of balance and less than .0004 rim drive run-out allows perfect rotation with .01 or less wow and flutter

™Dampening Decoupled Outer Rim Drive System

The exclusive Acetyl Outer Rim Drive and the extreme tolerances required to run the rim drive system easily provided a top flight rim or high tension Belt Drive System. The final selection of belt or rim is a personal choice – you have two drives in one; both more effective than other turntables by design, tolerances and passion. This is the most unique decoupling system ever designed for a record player. The 13.5 inch Acetyl Rim ™Drive is mated to the main platter with special tension fit installation. This provides a mechanical decoupling from the driven rim to the record platter.

The solid plinth is machined from a 60 LB billet of MIC-6 Aluminum on a 4 AXIS CNC Mill to exacting precision. The bearing well is machined to +/-.0003 for perfect mating to the 3.5 diameter brass bearing housing. This top grade material has properties inherent with stability and dampening. Accuracy is paramount for the rotating platter system.

MIC 6® Aluminum Cast Plate is produced by continuous casting with each thickness individually cast. By utilizing the most recent developments in casting techniques, the molten metal is continuously fed, eliminating defects from lapses and seams. Thermal gradients are stabilized since heat is removed from both plate surfaces at a balanced rate. The employment of a SNIF filtering and degassing system ensures an end product free of voids and impurities.

1 MM Thick Black Powder Coat: The stunning finish is piano black gloss baked powder coating. The plinth is wet sanded (30-40 hours) when complete bringing the finish to a deep, black and very rich finish. The finish is extremely durable; the aluminum will not be exposed if chipped due to the robust nature of the coating.

™The Silent Drive - RIM Drive

The massive NON COGGING powerful speed control RIM Drive motor provides unparalleled "PRAT" and drives the 88LB Platter to pitch accuracy never heard of before

The 24 Lb multi decoupled Stainless Steel Motor Housing provides superb vibration free operation. The base features a fully inset ¼ inch silicone dampening o-ring inset in the specially machined grooves in the polycarbonate base for isolation and superb coupling to any surface.
