After more than three years idea-crunching and countless man hours of CADing, prototyping, programming and real-life testing, we built our first commercially available turntable:
The Reed Muse 3!
Is it somehow unique? Well, yes! Whether you are fan of friction-driven turntables (Idler wheel)or belt- drive, the Reed Muse 3C should catch your eye.
Thanks to its unique and innovative design, you can convert your friction-driven turntable to a belt-driven machine in 5 minutes!
The Muse 3C is powered by two direct current motors and by design is friction-driven, however its major innovation is possibility to convert it to a belt-driven system in minutes by replacing traction rollers and putting on a belt (and, of course, setting a switch to a correct position). 
To prevent possible mechanical vibration, we use traction rollers (be it friction or belt) of different diameters, spinning at different velocities and having mathematically non-multiple diameters to driving disc diameter. Disc velocity is stabilized by quartz-based phase locked loop (PLL) system, so average speed deviation depends solely on the parameters of quartz crystal.
The turntable drive is equipped with both mechanical and electronic protection systems. The Muse 3C also features electronic inclinometer (electronic level dedicated to measure turntable, slope/tilt angle), which allows user to achieve perfect horizontal alignment without using additional tools.The turntable can be equipped with one or two tonearms with effective length ranging from 9.5” to 12”.
To ensure accurate tonearm mounting we include the SMARTractormade by Acoustical System.
