Published on 06/29/14 at 16:09The T560 is a vinyl cutting lathe, cutting realtime using a custom metal yoke/support/cutting mechanism. It uses a Technics 1200mk2 [or later] for vinyl platter and playback monitoring arm.
A rack of analog gear is used to
1] optimize the signal for vinyl [subs/extreme highs, balance, stereo/mono control, horizontal treble, vertical treble].
2] Volume control of cut/playback monitoring.
3] Amp dispatch levels , 3 band eq, groove spacing, cutter diamond temp control, motor control switch
4] monitoring R/L/ST/horiz treble/vert treble
5] Peak metering
6] cutter amp
the cut vinyl extrusion is removed by vacuum pump directly from the cut.
sounds are 3D and fat. extreme care in set-up needed both sonically, and physically !
Some wow & flutter [option extra motor available], some background noise, like tape, but low.
very long learning curve ! loads of parameters to balance and each cut is different.
Good build quality. Good design.
Quality product.
