THE WAND 14-4 TURNTABLE

30th June 2022

A creation of New Zealand, expect to see a range of The Wand tonearms and the 14-4 turntable re-launching in the UK

The Wand 14-4 turntable is so called because of the 14” platter made up of four acrylic layers, designed to damp vibration and noise transfer. 

THE WAND 14-4 TURNTABLE

The platter is complete with a screw down record clamp machined from acrylic to match the platter allowing the record label to be seen while playing.

THE WAND 14-4 TURNTABLE

The main structure of the unit is made from German plywood, asymmetric in shape, hand oiled and fitted with a Zentroidal three point suspension system.

THE WAND 14-4 TURNTABLE

The centroid of suspension, the ‘stillest point’, is close to the playing arc to maximise shock and vibration rejection.

THE WAND 14-4 TURNTABLE

The Wand will accommodate 9.5in, 10.3in or 12in Wand tonearms (or other brands).

THE WAND 14-4 TURNTABLE

Fitted with a DC Motor, the design offers 33 or 45rpm (plus 78rpm as a factory option).

The 14-4 has a  lid, although it’s mechanically outside the playing system.

Price? It’s not fixed just yet. Expect something around £3.5k with arms starting at around £1.5k with a saving of 10% if purchased together.
