Michell Revolv Turntable

New model for 2026! Very limited stock coming in December 2025.

The Michell Revolv represents a bold new chapter for a legendary brand, a turntable conceived from a fresh perspective to be the vibrant heart of a modern vinyl system. It is not an evolution of a past design, but a new creation that distills Michell's core engineering principles into a contemporary, user-friendly, and musically captivating package. The Revolv merges a sophisticated multi-layered plinth, a high-mass acetal platter, and a custom carbon fibre tonearm to deliver a performance of unwavering stability and profound musicality. It is engineered to be both the perfect first step into high-end audio and a satisfying final destination for the discerning vinyl enthusiast.

Key Features

• Constrained-Layer Damped Plinth: A sophisticated, multi-layered "sandwich" chassis of aluminum, acrylic, and damping materials creates an incredibly rigid and inert foundation.
• High-Mass Acetal Platter: A 17mm, high-mass platter machined from acetal, a material chosen for its self-damping properties and mechanical impedance similar to vinyl itself.
• New Inverted Bearing: A newly implemented inverted bearing design with a modified single-point contact and a pumped oil lubrication system for silent, stable rotation.
• Isolated Internal Power: A low-noise DC motor is powered by an inboard PSU that is housed in its own isolated steel sub-enclosure, shielding the audio path from interference.
• Custom Carbon Fibre Tonearm: Features a custom, single-piece carbon fibre tonearm with an integrated headshell and adjustable VTA for masterful tracking and easy setup.
• Electronic Speed Control: Effortless switching between 33⅓ and 45 RPM at the touch of a single, elegant button.

A Foundation of Silence and Stability

The Revolv is built upon an advanced, multi-layered plinth that uses the principle of constrained-layer damping to create an exceptionally inert and non-resonant base. This sophisticated "sandwich" construction combines the rigidity of aluminum with the damping properties of acrylic and other materials, effectively canceling out mechanical vibrations. By dissipating unwanted energy as heat, this design ensures that the turntable provides a silent background, allowing the delicate details retrieved by the stylus to be heard with stunning clarity and purity.

The Heart of the Rotation

At the center of the Revolv's performance is the combination of its platter and bearing. The 17mm-thick, high-mass platter is precision-machined from acetal, a material prized in turntable design for its excellent self-damping characteristics and a mechanical impedance that closely matches that of a vinyl record. This synergy allows unwanted energy from the stylus-in-groove to be effectively transferred and dissipated. This platter spins on a newly implemented inverted bearing, which utilizes a modified single-point contact and a pumped oil lubrication system to ensure an incredibly smooth, stable, and silent rotation with an exceptionally low noise floor.

Precision Power, Intelligently Integrated

The Revolv features a low-noise DC motor, providing the stable and accurate drive necessary for high-fidelity playback. In a clever marriage of convenience and performance, the power supply is located inboard but is housed within its own isolated steel sub-enclosure. This intelligent design shields the highly sensitive tonearm wiring and cartridge from any potential electrical interference generated by the power supply, delivering the performance benefits of an external unit with the clean aesthetics of an integrated design. Speed selection is effortless, with a single button providing precise electronic switching between 33⅓ and 45 RPM.

Masterful Tracking, Effortless Setup

Paired with the Revolv is a custom-designed, single-piece carbon fibre tonearm engineered for exceptional rigidity and minimal resonance. The one-piece construction, from the integrated headshell through to the counterweight stub, eliminates joints that can introduce vibration and compromise performance. This lightweight yet incredibly stiff design allows the cartridge to track the record groove with supreme confidence and accuracy. With user-friendly features like adjustable Vertical Tracking Angle (VTA), the tonearm allows for precise cartridge setup and optimization, making it easy to extract the maximum performance from your chosen cartridge.

What’s Included with Your Revolv Turntable
