New Horizon
Series 100 modellen GD129/NH91
Nieuw aan het New Horizon firmament
is een doorontwikkeling van de GD121 die GD129
is gedoopt. Wat het meest in het oog springt,
zijn de verschillende af werkingen in licht en
donker hout, naast de bestaande zwarte
uitvoering. Het zal misschien alleen de
oplettende vinylliefhebber opvallen, maar de
toonarm is volledig vernieuwd en door New
Horizon zelf gefabriceerd. Deze NH91 toon - arm
is nog steeds recht, maar nu 9 inch in lengte en
gemaakt van Alumide®, een aluminium versterkt
polymeer met een enorme stijfheid, hetgeen de
klank en werking van de toonarm ten goede komt.
Zelfs azimuth en antiskating kunnen worden
ingesteld, hetgeen uniek is voor draaitafels in
deze prijsklasse. De stijlvol vormgegeven
behuizing is een enkele 25 mm hoge gelamineerde
sokkel van resonantie-arm hout. Deze sokkel is
uitgevoerd met drie brede, massieve stelvoeten
van natuurrubber wat stabiele en loodrechte
opstelling op elk oppervlak mogelijk maakt. De
12 mm hoge transparante (acryl) draaischijf
weegt een respectabele 1050 gram en is voorzien
van een groef die aflopen van de snaar
onmogelijk maakt. De aandrijving geschiedt
middels een AC synchroonmotor die de
noodzakelijke energie via een ronde siliconen
snaar naar de draaischijf overbrengt. Om te
wisselen van 33 naar 45 tpm volstaat het
simpelweg omleggen van de snaar. De ontkoppeling
van de motor wordt met vier afgestemde veren
bereikt. De GD129 meet 450 x 365 mm (bxd) en
wordt geleverd inclusief stofkap.
Model GD129
The 129 is a beautiful 100% Made in
Italy turntable. Oh yes, the 129 is the new
turntable completely made in Italy. The
exclusive design and the availability of three
modern finishes make it contemporary and able to
meet the expectations of the most demanding.
This model adopts for the first time the New
Horizon tonearm realized respecting the basic
principles of the philosophy: to face the
problem, to analyze all the aspects, to simplify
the solution and to create something unique and
effective. An easy turntable with sound as a
great protagonist .
Synchronous AC motor
The turntable pulsating heart is the compact
24VAC synchronous motor whose main feature is
its extremely regular rotation, independent from
the variations of the mains voltage, given that
its speed depends on the mains frequency. The
high torque and the rotation speed of 500 rpm
actively contribute to the regularity and
fluidity of the plate rotation.
Mechanical suspension
129 is a set of mechanical parts in action. The
largest internal source of noise and vibrations
is the motor that must be isolated as much as
possible from all other parts of the turntable.
The engine insulation in New Horizon turntables
is made by an exclusive mechanical suspension
system. Through precision steel springs,
calibrated on the suspended weight of the motor
and the pulley, the oscillation transmission to
the plinth is efficiently blocked.
Belt drive
The transmission of the motion to the plate is
obtained by a special belt in natural rubber.
The choice of this material ensures an excellent
energy transfer and a good decoupling from the
vibrations produced by the engine during the
operation.
Inverted bearing
One of the strong points in New Horizon
turntables is the plate rotation pivot. The
perfection of the movement is the result of a
accurate project and several prototypes. Today
the piece in production has a sturdy inverted
bearing structure in three pieces of aluminum
and steel that guarantee the maximum “silence”
and a very low rotation friction.
9'' Arm NH91
The NH 91 is a 9″ straight cardanic arm entirely
designed and built in New Horizon laboratories.
Vertical and horizontal movements based on very
low tolerance ball bearings and hand assembly
ensure the best coupling of components. It is
the result of continuous research and passion
that pushes us incessantly to offer a fantastic
product.
Plinth HD
129 is a rigid-base turntable. It is essential
that the base, or plinth, is able to keep stable
the fixing of the other parts of the apparel and
to stand opposite to the transmission of
vibrations and resonances: our choice at New
Horizon is the compressed recycled wood pulp and
artificial resins. This material is extremely
smooth and heavy and its isomorphic composition
works much more efficiently than the solid wood.
Methacrylate plate
The appearance is extremely important: on New
Horizon turntables there are only laser-cut
plates in Crystal Methacrylate. This material
with a high specific weight combines the
excellent ability to disperse the vibrations
kinetic energy, to the elegance of a perfect
transparency.
Output on RCA terminals
New Horizon turntables are interfaced in the
best way with all your electronics. An excellent
insulating material plate accommodates the
gold-plated RCA output terminals. The ground
connection is not necessary because the 129 has
its own internal shielding.
