The ART

‘ART V2’ stands for Aligned Resonance Transport Version 2.

Construction and design of the ‘ART V2’ are characterized by the principles of

analogue transports.

‘ART V2’ is a direct driven mass transport and uses a magnetic stabilizer for smooth

rotation of the compact disc.

The base of the ‘ART V2’ consists of a heavy granite stone plate weighting ten

kilograms on which the electronic components and the clock circuit are mounted

floating as well. The housing is made of a wooden top coated with grey varnish

(NEXTEL) and a 2mm steel chassis that benefits of the resonance defeating mass of

the granite plate for stability and smooth performance.

‘ART V2’ weighs approx. eighteen kilograms. The clock generator is mounted

floating for protection from resonances to provide a maximum of independence of

the internal clock from outer noise sources. As a result ‘clock jitter’ is avoided at the

root.

The pick up unit is mounted within a 5mm thick mill-cut aluminium plate and fixed

by high tension polyester straps within the wooden top.

The display of the ‘ART V2’ is a vacuum fluorescent display that is emitting a red or

blue light, depending on the fitting. In rooms with low ambient light best results will

be achieved.

The display will inform you about the current state of the ‘ART V2’, i.e. the track

number and the time position of the current track in minutes and seconds etc.

Care

Please allow the ‘ART V2’ to adapt to the climatic conditions in your room after

transport. As known for every optical device low temperature and humidity may

cause it to be covered with condensation. Leave the top of the ‘ART V2’ open for

several hours before switching on the first time after transport.

Please always use a soft, lint-free cloth for cleaning the ‘ART V2’.
