The GMT System Turntable

• The GMT System features a new drive system called the Omega Drive. The Omega Drive is a novel, proprietary, three-phase PID motor that has been developed from the ground up by the Wilson Benesch GMT Consortium. The Omega Drive is a patented design.

• Stage One Step Up Transformer, with two separate transformers for each channel with silver wiring and an amorphous core. The transformers are shielded and have a dedicated ground.

• The GMT System has been developed with a holistic approach whereby the turntable and all sub systems have been optimized to create a unified system developed by Wilson Benesch.

• In addition to the Omega Drive, Wilson Benesch has developed the Alpha Isolation System, Piezo Remote VTA System, two new tonearms and two new cartridges.

• The Alpha Isolation System has been developed in collaboration with a leading optical measurement system isolation company. The Alpha Isolation System is a microprocessor controlled pneumatic system that isolates the GMT System from vibration. Fully autonomous, operating with micro-meter precision, providing isolation to 1.7Hz.

• Both the GMT System Turntable and the Alpha Isolation System are fully compatible with the Wilson Benesch R1 System Rack. Together the system forms a highly optimized complete analogue replay system.

• The Piezo Remote VTA System is the world’s first remotely adjustable VTA System. Fully controllable from the listening position using the Wilson Benesch GMT System App, allowing unprecedented accuracy with adjustment to within 25 nanometers.

Graviton Tonearms

• Two new tonearms have been developed through collaboration with the Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre (AMRC) in Sheffield, England. Along with supporting work completed by the FEMTO Institute in Besancon, France as part under the SSUCHY Project.

• The Tesselate Ti Arm wand offers a higher mass arm wand design when integrated with the Piezo Remote VTA System. Complete with a tapered, helically wound single piece Carbon Fiber arm tube.

• The Tesselate Al Arm wand offers a lower mass arm wand design when integrated with the Piezo Remote VTA System. Complete with a tapered, helically wound single piece Carbon Fiber arm tube.

• Both the Ti – Titanium and Al – Aluminum Arm wands are comprised of additively manufactured counterbalance structures with infill internal latticing that provides integrated particle damping from a structure that is geometrically optimized to provide maximum stiffness and optimal weight distribution across the arm wand. These additively manufactured structures are formed by melting powered titanium with a laser to create a complex three-dimensional structure using state-of-the-art manufacturing technology. As such, when combined with the Piezo Remote VTA System, the Tesselate Ti and Al arm wands are the most advanced tonearms ever conceived and developed.

Tesselate Cartridges

• The Tesselate Ti Cartridge has been developed by Wilson Benesch. It features a custom designed OEM generator, with a bespoke cantilever design that has been precisely optimized to match the Graviton Ti Arm wand.

• The Tesselate Al Cartridge has been developed by Wilson Benesch. It features a custom designed OEM generator, with a bespoke cantilever design that has been precisely optimized to match the Graviton Ai Arm wand.

• Both the Ti – Titanium and Al – Aluminum Cartridges are comprised of additively manufactured cartridge case structures. Just like the arm wand counterbalance structures, the Cartridges feature infill internal latticing that provides integrated particle damping from a structure that is geometrically optimized to provide maximum stiffness and optimal weight distribution across the cartridge.

R1 System Rack

• A modular rack system design to provide optimal conditions for the operation of state-of-the-art digital and analogue audio equipment.

• Designed to provide level, stable and precise platform for optimal operation of installed components.

• to transmit energy away from highly sensitive components and subsequently absorb this energy within the racking system

• to isolate components from energy generated by loudspeakers in the listening space, transferred though the structure of the racking from the ground

• to isolate each component from energy generated by other audio equipment installed on the racking system

GMT Control App

• Allows remote control stop and start of the GMT System Turntable.
• Allows 33/44/78 speed setting, plus customizable speed control.
• Displays speed lock on the app display.
• Allows arm wand lift and lower.
• Allows remotely controlled precision VTA Adjustments with an accuracy of 25 nanometers.
• Allows saved preset for VTA Settings

The Wilson Benesch GMT System

The GMT System Turntable frames current technologies and renders them in the past. Imagine physically manually adjusting the VTA on a tonearm from the position of the turntable, whilst trying to hear the nuanced differences. Now envisage the future, being able to make the same adjustments remotely from your listening position to within 25 nanometers - a degree accuracy within VTA adjustment that has prior to now been unthinkable. The Piezo VTA remote control adjustment system, like all sub-systems in the design, is a result of collaborative contributions made by so many.

The GMT System Turntable redefines turntable design. It creates a new dialogue between the vinyl enthusiast and their replay system, changing the user's experience of analogue replay forever and setting a new standard within the high-fidelity high-end audio market.
