Fluance RT85 Reference High Fidelity Vinyl Turntable

Fluance, a Canadian-based audio brand, is dedicated to producing high-end HiFi Turntables, Powered Speakers, and Home Theater Speakers that deliver exceptional audio performance and an extraordinary customer experience. The company's mission is to enable everyone to experience audio in its purest form.

HiFi Turntables from Fluance offer stunning sound quality, achieving the truest analog sound reproduction by playing traditional LP and EP vinyl records. Powered Speakers provide room-filling sound for any home audio setup, from turntables to TVs to Bluetooth music streaming. The brand's Home Theater Speakers complete the cinema experience with immersive Surround Sound Speaker Systems.

Fluance was founded in 1999 in Canada with the goal of recreating audio performances as the artist intended. The company has since expanded its product line to include Powered Speakers and HiFi turntables. Fluance's unique offerings are the result of developing high-performance drive units for its speakers, cutting-edge isolation materials and technologies for its turntables, and hand-crafted wood cabinets and plinths for a warm, natural sound.

The company's passion lies in providing audio enthusiasts with an immersive cinema experience and lively music performance in the comfort of their homes. The Reference turntable, for instance, delivers a warm, uncompressed listening experience, allowing users to get lost in the music. With no electronics in the signal path, from stylus tip to gold-plated RCA outputs, the turntable ensures an exceptionally pure sound.

The Ortofon 2M Blue cartridge on the Reference turntable features a rich, elegant, and natural sound, adding greater dynamics and resolution to reproduce more detail while maintaining a flat frequency response for a pure, uncolored sound. The high-density, greater-mass acrylic platter helps achieve a consistent speed, damping unwanted vibrations and aiding in the cancellation of undesirable reverberations. This results in a 3-dimensional soundstage with improved bass definition, a richer midrange, and greater signal clarity.

Precision playback is ensured through the turntable's servo-controlled belt drive motor with a speed-regulating optical sensor, which continuously measures and adjusts variances in linear velocity and acceleration within a few hundredths of a percent, resulting in a wow and flutter of 0.07%. The decoupling of the drive from the plinth suppresses motor vibrations and noise, maintaining accurate speed and significantly reducing rumble.

The mass-loaded, multi-layered MDF wood chassis inhibits the transfer of unwanted resonance, while the 3 rubber, spike-type adjustable isolation feet minimize surface contact, providing immunity to environmental vibrations for greater low-frequency signal pickup and improved imaging.

The Fluance Reference turntable includes a dust cover, bubble level, headshell with the Ortofon 2M Blue cartridge, counterweight, acrylic platter with belt, power adapter, cables, 45 adaptor, and accessories for a complete and high-performance vinyl playback experience.
