Magne turntable system

Fully airbearing turntable with lineair tracking airbearing tonearm.

The platter – centred by a spindel – floats on an air film. Magne turntable system is extremely simple to adjust and operate.

Magne T.T. system

Magne means “strength”. In Nordic mythology Magne is the super baby, son of Thor, the God of Thunder, and when he is three days old he is so strong that he can lift a dead giant away from his father, who is pinned underneath. Magne is one of the few Gods, who survive Ragnerok, the nordic armageddon, and rebuilds the new world.

Airsupply

The air supply has been the object of our greatest attention. The goal is to design a silent air supply, which could be placed in the listening room, and deliver an even, clean and dry air flow.The pump is an oil free, long life unit, which do not require much maintenance.

The impulses from the pump are absorbed in an encapsulated reservoir. This results in an even airflow to the air bearing. The air supply is mounted with a filter, which prevents dust particles in entering the system. The filter is replaceable when necessary.

Airbearing Turntables

“Air bearings are superior to traditional bearings, as airberings do not generate mechanical friction, and therefore no mechanical noise – thus the perfect starting point for the highest achievable analog sound.”

— Johnnie Bergmann

Linear tracking airbearing tonearm

In the design of the tonearm, we stay to our idea of simplicity: As few parts and assemblies as possible, to avoid resonances. The armtube is traditional for Bergmann tonearms- well considered construction in few parts, made as a double tube construction, with damping in between the tubes. All parts are assembled by 2 component epoxy – simple and vibration free design to secure as pure and coherent reproduction.

Johnnie Bergmann

As a teenager, I bought my first audio system- Micro Seiki table, Rega arm, Ortofon cartridge, NAD pre-/amp and Dali speakers. All hifi magazines, I came across, were read carefully. At that time- in the 80.ties- I became familiar with the airbearing technic. To me it was obvious the most optimal way to build the perfect turntable.
