MAG-LEV Audio ML1 Wood Edition

The MAG-LEV Audio ML1 Wood Edition transforms vinyl playback into a striking fusion of high-end audio engineering and kinetic design. Its signature levitating platter appears to float above the wooden plinth while the record is playing, creating an exceptional visual experience without compromising the precision expected from a premium turntable.

At the heart of the ML1 is MAG-LEV Audio’s patented magnetic drive technology. A sophisticated system of coils, magnets and electronic sensors suspends and rotates the platter without a conventional mechanical drive connection. The design minimizes mechanical contact and helps isolate the record from unwanted vibration during playback.

The turntable is equipped with a Pro-Ject 9cc carbon-fibre tonearm, valued for its combination of low mass, rigidity and resonance control. It is paired with an Ortofon OM10 moving-magnet cartridge, providing a refined and detailed presentation suitable for high-quality home audio systems.

Multiple integrated sensors continuously monitor platter speed, tonearm operation and system temperature. Anti-magnetic shielding and enhanced vibration-control solutions complement the magnetic levitation architecture and contribute to stable, controlled playback.

The platter is manufactured from a composite consisting of 80% ABS and 20% glass fibre, combining structural rigidity with carefully controlled weight. The Wood Edition is finished with natural wood veneer, giving the technologically advanced construction a warmer and more architectural character.

Custom high-end RCA outputs allow the ML1 to be integrated into a dedicated hi-fi system. With its levitating platter, carbon-fibre tonearm and unconventional engineering, the MAG-LEV Audio ML1 Wood Edition is designed not simply as a turntable, but as a statement piece for a sophisticated listening environment.
