Relveo Record Player

Description

Relveo seamlessly fuses the precision engineering of its acclaimed predecessors with the unmistakable visual identity of AVID’s iconic Acutus flagship. The result is a masterpiece of form and function, where cutting-edge technology meets timeless aesthetic refinement.

Refined Evolution
RELVEO distils over 30 years of innovation into a refined evolution of AVID’s award-winning designs. A heavier platter, optimised motor-to-mass ratio, and separate DSP power supply ensure precise speed and exceptional musicality. Its conical, resiliently coupled suspension offers excellent isolation, easier setup, and a superior user experience.

Meticulously crafted to deliver an exceptional musical experience, every detail reflects decades of refinement, the ultimate expression of their design philosophy and engineering expertise.

Natural Pairing
The RELVEO turntable comes equipped with the award-winning ALTUS tonearm, designed to reveal every subtle detail hidden in your vinyl. With crisp clarity, rock-solid imaging, and immersive realism, this will transform your listening experience.

Cascading technologies from AVID’s flagship tonearm, ALTUS features micron-tolerance bearings and our unique dual adjustable bias compensation system. This package delivers pinpoint focus, striking immediacy, and a delicate musicality that captivates, ensuring precision playback and long-term enjoyment.

Power Supply
Relveo enjoys a bespoke designed Power Supply for its high torque motor. Incorporating our latest generation DSP signal-generating interface as used in AVID’s reference turntables within its own casework and large mains transformer, this totally removes the vagaries of the mains power signal and allowing precise calibration of motor speed. Like all their turntables, each power supply is calibrated to the drive motor, tuning out vibration and maximising torque power, giving you clear, transparent sound with fast and controlled dynamic bass response, everything you need to enjoy your favourite music.

Motor
Relveo uses a synchronous high torque motor, more powerful than motors used in common alternative designs. That extra power, along with their twin belt drive is put to good use, maximising the platter dynamics so music starts and stops like it should, without bass overhang slurring notes. Timing is superb, the all-important rhythm of music fully preserved and laid bare for you to enjoy.

Clamp
AVID’s single action clamp, crafted from solid aluminium with a stainless-steel grounding point, automatically flattens your records to the platter surface and aids the negative vibration present within the record to pass through the spindle to the subchassis below.

This reduces the noise floor of the record itself, allowing you to hear more information and realism from your cherished records.

Platter
Precision machined balanced from a solid billet of aluminium, the platter is mass loaded at the edge, giving it a high rotational inertia. Coupling with the drive hub with their unique bearing, there is no lateral movement and no rumble noise common to other designs. AVID’s new resin impregnated felt mat offers a perfect interface to reflect vibration, keeping it in the record so it passes away more efficiently through the spindle.

Bearing
Derived directly from the Acutus, the fixed spindle is press fitted into the subchassis, which allows optimum vibration transmission. Common with all AVID turntables, the captive tungsten carbide ball placed in the spindle top, locates centrally in our uniquely designed sapphire jewelled thrust point. With zero lateral movement we manage to eliminate rumble noise making AVID turntables silent. The bearing is also self-lubricating and maintenance free for life.

Subchassis
Cast from large grain aluminium, their uniquely designed subchassis optimises rigidity where its most required to keep the tonearm and bearing coupled to prevent any loss of musical information. A coating is applied to specifically damp high frequency vibration, so that both high and low frequency vibration is time aligned during dissipation, give a clear, focused and neutral sound.

Suspension
The resilient, coupled suspension system provides exceptional immunity to acoustic feedback, ensuring a focused and richly detailed listening experience. Utilizing their conical Sorbothane, an advanced, high-absorption elastomer, it effectively damps both vertical motion and micro-vibrations. This makes it particularly effective in environments with suspended floors, maintaining clarity and stability even under challenging conditions.
