Acoustic Solid Solid 110 Metal Polished Turntable at Vinyl Sound Toronto Canada *Package 1 contains WTB-370 Tonearm Only! No Cartridge! Microcontroller motor control M2 with crystal oscillator* **Package 2 contains WTB-213 Tonearm Only! No Cartridge! Microcontroller motor control M2 with crystal oscillator** The Solid 110 Metal is a belt-drive turntable from Acoustic Solid (Germany), available at Vinyl Sound in Toronto, Canada. Built entirely from CNC-precision-machined aluminum, the Solid 110 Metal features a 6 kg, 30 mm thick polished aluminum platter, a Berger Lahr synchronous motor with belt drive, and Acoustic Solid's proprietary Microcontroller M2 motor control system with crystal oscillator for exceptional speed stability measured at 0.08% synchronization. Available in two packages — Package 1 with the WTB-370 tonearm and Package 2 with the WTB-213 tonearm — neither package includes a cartridge, allowing the listener to select their preferred cartridge to complete the system. All-Aluminum Construction and Resonance Optimization Acoustic Solid designed the Solid 110 Metal around a single guiding principle: eliminate resonance at every structural level. The 50 mm base carrier plate and feet are machined from solid aluminum and decoupled from the chassis via special Teflon discs and silicone mixture dampers. The stainless steel bearing axle is housed in a cast liner and cast bearing bottom, itself damped and decoupled with additional Teflon discs, with a polished ceramic ball at the contact point for smooth, low-friction rotation. Height adjustment is provided through threaded spikes decoupled by felt feet, giving the Solid 110 Metal a stable, level foundation on any surface. The acoustically optimized drive shape of the chassis is not merely cosmetic — it is engineered to minimize the transmission of structural vibration to the platter and stylus. Microcontroller M2 Motor Control Speed accuracy on the Solid 110 Metal is governed by Acoustic Solid's Microcontroller M2 system with quartz crystal oscillator, delivering a synchronization figure of 0.08% as measured with an Ortofon measuring computer. Both 33.3 and 45 rpm speeds are selectable at the touch of a button, with fine adjustment available at any time without interrupting playback. The Berger Lahr synchronous motor drives the platter via a Nylon-silicone mixture belt, isolating motor vibration from the platter bearing. Power is supplied via a switching power supply with IEC plug, rated at 240 V / 47-63 Hz input and 32 V / 0.46 A output. Key Features Full Aluminum Chassis and Platter: Entire construction machined from aluminum, including the 6 kg, 30 mm thick CNC-turned and hand-polished platter for maximum mass and rigidity. Microcontroller M2 with Crystal Oscillator: Quartz-referenced motor control delivers 0.08% speed synchronization, with one-touch 33.3 and 45 rpm switching and real-time fine adjustment. Berger Lahr Synchronous Motor: German-made synchronous motor with Nylon-silicone belt drive isolates motor noise and vibration from the platter and bearing assembly. Multi-Layer Resonance Decoupling: Teflon disc and silicone damper isolation at the base plate, feet, and bearing housing suppresses structural and airborne resonance throughout the chassis. Polished Ceramic Ball Bearing: Stainless steel axle with cast bearing housing and polished ceramic ball contact point for low-friction, low-noise rotation. Genuine Leather and Plexiglas Platter Mat: 3 mm Plexiglas pad with genuine leather mat supplied as standard for optimal record contact and vibration damping at the record interface. Two Tonearm Packages: Available with the WTB-370 (Package 1) or WTB-213 (Package 2) tonearm — cartridge not included, allowing full flexibility in cartridge selection. Plug and Play Setup: IEC power cable and straightforward assembly make the Solid 110 Metal accessible without specialist installation.

The Acoustic Solid Solid 110 Metal is a belt-drive turntable from Acoustic Solid of Germany, built entirely from CNC-machined aluminum with a 6 kg hand-polished platter, Berger Lahr synchronous motor, and Microcontroller M2 quartz-referenced speed control. It is available in two tonearm configurations and is designed as a high-precision analog source component for serious vinyl listening. How does the Acoustic Solid Solid 110 Metal compare to the Pro-Ject X2 B or Rega Planar 6? The Solid 110 Metal sits above the Pro-Ject X2 B and Rega Planar 6 in terms of chassis mass and material quality. Where the Rega Planar 6 uses a lightweight phenolic resin plinth and an external Neo PSU for speed control, and the Pro-Ject X2 B combines an MDF and aluminum sandwich chassis with an Ortofon 2M Silver cartridge, the Solid 110 Metal uses a full all-aluminum construction throughout, a heavier 6 kg platter, and Teflon-and-silicone multi-stage resonance decoupling at every structural joint. The Microcontroller M2 quartz oscillator also offers real-time fine speed adjustment not available on either competing model as standard. Does the Acoustic Solid Solid 110 Metal come with a cartridge? No. Both Package 1 (WTB-370 tonearm) and Package 2 (WTB-213 tonearm) are supplied without a cartridge. This allows the buyer to select a cartridge that matches their phono stage, system character, and budget. Vinyl Sound Toronto can advise on cartridge matching for either tonearm configuration. What is the Microcontroller M2 and why does it matter? The Microcontroller M2 is Acoustic Solid's proprietary motor control system using a quartz crystal oscillator as its speed reference. It governs the Berger Lahr synchronous motor to maintain a synchronization accuracy of 0.08%, verified with an Ortofon measuring computer. It also allows one-touch switching between 33.3 and 45 rpm with real-time fine adjustment at any point during playback, without stopping the turntable. Where can I buy the Acoustic Solid Solid 110 Metal in Toronto or Canada? The Acoustic Solid Solid 110 Metal is available in Toronto, Canada at Vinyl Sound, an authorized Acoustic Solid dealer. Vinyl Sound's team can assist with tonearm package selection, cartridge recommendations, phono stage matching, and setup support. What phono stage does the Acoustic Solid Solid 110 Metal require? The Solid 110 Metal requires an external phono stage, as none is built into the turntable. The appropriate phono stage will depend on the cartridge chosen — a moving magnet cartridge requires an MM phono input, while a moving coil cartridge requires an MC phono stage with appropriate gain and loading. Vinyl Sound can recommend compatible phono stage options from brands such as Pro-Ject, Nagaoka, or Lehmann Audio to complete the analog front end.
