E.A.T Forte S Turntable

The E.A.T. Forte S takes the premium mass loaded aspect of the Forte and implements it on a smaller scale; however, there is nothing small about this turntables performance as it incorporates premium features throughout.

  • Luxury build quality with extensive mass-loading principles incorporated throughout
  • Sizeable alloy platter featuring magnetic decoupling and vinyl top-plate
  • Dual motor system providing consistent speed stability
  • Various colour-ways with superior finishing for a deluxe appearance
  • Magnetic feet that assist with decoupling the turntable from the surface beneath
  • Fitted with EAT's F-Note 12" Aluminium Tonearm

 

PLINTH

The plinth for the Forte makes use of the mass loaded principle and employs a large heavy chassis that provides great levels of stability intended to support the platter and tonearm. The plinth uses metal sand pellets to add further weight and add anti-resonance properties to the turntable as well as separating the record from the electrical components of the turntable.   

The Forte’s chassis is fitted with large magnetic feet containing their own stabilisation system, that decouples the turntable from the surface beneath, and any vibrations given off from the motor. The platter for the Forte S is driven by a dual motor system that assists in providing consistent speed stability. 

PLATTER

The platter once again adopts the high-mass principle used in the chassis and is composed of two separate parts. The platters base is made using two different alloys, used to help reduce energy flow. The base of the platter spans 350mm in diameter, and has magnets integrated into the alloy to assist in decoupling from the plinth and reducing the strain on the bearings from the platters 15kg weight, ensuring playback and speed consistency. 

On top of the alloy section of the platter sits a layer of melted vinyl, to provide a smooth, stable surface on which to place your records. E.A.T. also employ Thermoplastic Elastomer (TPE) damping in the base of the platter which assists in reducing any variances and improves the tolerances of the turntable.

TONEARM

The Forte is available with a wide choice of tonearm options, including the flagship E.A.T. F-Note. When installed with an F-Note, the performance is exceptional and truly worthy of the turntable's high-end status. To discuss your tonearm options, please use the contact form below.
