SME Model 30 MK2 The Model 30/12 and Series V-12 tonearm offers performance over 30% better than the Model 30. A precision turntable of uncompromising quality and engineering excellence. Heavy mass, extensional dampening, ingenious suspension and intelligent acoustic treatment contribute to the audio excellence. A new highly sophisticated drive system provides a significant advancement in speed control and accuracy. The Model 30/12 is the former SME flagship turntable and once judged as ‘the best turntable of all time’ and for many years considered to be the world’s reference standard turntable. These accreditations are derived from the ingenious design, precision engineering and fundamental physics.
