Description
The idea
… was obvious. The design of the smaller brother offered an incentive to build a larger drive on this basis. Since many enthusiasts want to operate two tonearms in parallel, we have taken up this topic. It should not just be an “upscaling” of the existing concept, but should also set new accents in addition to the already known ease of use.
The mission
… was to further develop the technical basis of the Woodpecker and advance into new dimensions. Operating two tonearms was one requirement, but the drive needed to be further refined. For this purpose, we have modified the control of the Woodpecker and operated the two motors in a kind of “master-slave” configuration.
The arrangement at 180° to each other ensures that the platter is driven tangentially – one-sided pull is not possible. Thus wobbling movements of the platter are reduced to an absolute minimum.
A further reduction in rumbling noises accompanies this. The synchronization accuracy could be increased again compared to the Woodpecker.
The result
… is an even greater sovereignty in the sound image – excellent measurements and a timeless appearance, paired with easy handling. Because we have created a world first in the Blackbird with an integrated template that allows you to easily adjust your tonearm and stylus. You will be amazed at how easy adjustment can be.
The sound
… confident, dynamic, powerful, and yet neutral. No matter which tonearm you use, you can immerse yourself in the fascination of music in a relaxed manner, because you have the certainty that no detail, no matter how small, of your black treasures will be withheld from you. Forget all technology, enjoy music in all its beauty!
