Michell Gyro Turntable

Michell Gyro Turntable

The Michell Gyro Turntable has always defined the standard for precision analogue playback. Since its introduction in the early 1980s, the Gyro has been an icon of audiophile engineering — a blend of sculptural beauty and technical excellence. Now, Michell Engineering has taken this legendary design further than ever before.

This latest generation Michell Gyro Turntable represents a complete re-engineering of its internal architecture. It’s not a redesign for looks — it’s a reinvention of performance. Every component has been scrutinized, refined, and optimised to deliver a quieter, more stable, and more emotionally engaging sound.

At a glance, it’s unmistakably a Gyro. But when you look — and listen — closer, you’ll realise it’s something entirely new.

A Reimagined Chassis for Pure Performance

At the heart of the new Michell Gyro Turntable is a redefined chassis crafted from precision-machined, 19mm aerospace-grade aluminium tooling plate. This upgrade replaces the cast aluminium of earlier models, achieving previously unattainable levels of rigidity, stability, and low resonance.

Carefully positioned embedded brass weights balance the tonearm assembly while absorbing unwanted vibration. Around the tonearm mount, foam-based damping inserts suppress micro-reflections, ensuring the stylus tracks with absolute precision. The result: deeper dynamics, greater transparency, and an effortlessly natural soundstage.

Precision Power Meets Perfect Isolation

Every element of the Michell Gyro Turntable’s drive system has been redesigned to deliver absolute rotational stability and silence. The motor system — housed in a solid, freestanding aluminium pod — operates completely independently from the main chassis. This decoupled design eliminates vibration transfer and preserves the purity of musical detail.

The motor pod and power supply are both CNC-machined from aerospace-grade aluminium and linked via a fully grounded, shielded interconnect to block radio-frequency interference. An advanced electronic speed control system ensures rock-solid 33⅓ and 45 RPM accuracy, while new shielding and grounding provide pristine signal integrity.
