Ars Cyprium (latin: ore from Cyprus). This was what the Romans called copper, the first metal to be used by mankind. Since the Stone Age, over 10,000 years ago, man has been using copper. We have taken the exceptional properties of copper, and in conjunction with our special polymer we have developed a compound platter. The musical reproduction benefits from breathtaking soundstaging and stereo depth, the representation of the instruments gains substance.

The whole sound characteristic becomes clearer and more relaxed. Platter drive is via a maintenance-free belt. The AC version of the Raven has a modified motor control.

The armboard is made from bronze as standard. OEM-Stillpoint feet are also supplied as standard. A significant update is the provision of a new motor control unit. This is even better than its predecessor and is designed to provide support for the three-motor drive option.

Three-motor drive for Raven and Raven AC turntables

Three-motor drive for Raven and Raven AC turntables

Technical details:

Our three motors run absolutely syncronous thanks to a sophisticated motor control The diameters of the drive pulleys are accurate to within half a hundredth of a millimetre The drive belt thickness is ground to a tolerance of one hundredth of a millimetre We have taken the advantages of our unique drive system to the limit and have developed a three-motor drive for the Raven One and Raven AC.

We have achieved perfect syncronicity between all three motors with our new, highly developed motor control system. The extremely precisely machined drive belt, coupled with finely toleranced and matched pulleys give the concept the optimal basis for the precision we demand. If you were of the opinion that the Raven's drive system was unique, then of course you were right! But the new three-motor drive picks up where our unique single motor drive leaves off.

The Raven or Raven AC is now available as a three-motor version. Of course, any existing Raven One or Raven AC can also be upgraded.

Our new armboards make changing to another tonearm on the Raven AC easier. Where before it was necessary to replace the armboard, now it is simply a matter of exchanging the adapter insert.
