Michell Gyro and Michell Revolv Turntables: A New Era for Michell Engineering

Michell Audio has once again redefined precision analogue playback with the unveiling of two exceptional turntables — the new Michell Gyro and the Michell Revolv. These designs mark significant milestones for the British HiFi manufacturer, combining decades of engineering heritage with cutting-edge technology for a new generation of vinyl enthusiasts.

Michell Audio: Engineering the Future of Analogue

With the introduction of the Gyro and Revolv, Michell reaffirms its position at the forefront of British high-end turntable design. Both models share a philosophy rooted in mechanical precision, vibration control, and enduring build quality — the hallmarks of Michell's reputation for musical clarity and longevity.

For those seeking the ultimate expression of Michell's engineering mastery, the new Michell Gyro delivers a reimagined take on a HiFi icon. Meanwhile, the Michell Revolv brings the brand's signature precision and musical integrity to a more accessible level — without compromise.

The New Michell Gyro Turntable: Evolving an Icon

Since its debut in 1982, the Michell GyroDec has defined what a reference turntable should be. Now, with its most significant redesign to date, the new Michell Gyro combines timeless aesthetics with entirely re-engineered internals for a new standard in performance and refinement.

A Re-Engineered Chassis for Unmatched Precision

At the heart of the new Gyro lies a solid 19mm aerospace-grade aluminium chassis, replacing the previous cast design. This upgrade enhances rigidity and consistency across the entire structure, reducing coloration and improving imaging and energy control.

Using advanced finite element analysis and AI-assisted modelling, Michell engineers optimised vibration control, mass distribution, and damping — resulting in a lower noise floor and greater musical precision.

Performance Enhancements and Technical Innovations

The Gyro's legendary three-point suspension now features a new Equilibria™ self-centring system, lowering the resonant frequency from 4.5Hz to 3.5Hz for improved bass definition and pitch stability.
Custom Sorbothane™ isolation feet, each with six contact nodes, further minimize vibration and external interference.

The signature inverted bearing has been redesigned with a double-helix oil pump, doubling lubrication flow for reduced friction. A new shielded motor assembly with electronic speed control (33.3 & 45 RPM) ensures quieter, smoother operation.

Refined Design and Modern Construction

Visually, the new Gyro remains instantly recognisable — yet more refined. The Delrin® platter now features a sleek, grooveless edge, while the base transitions from acrylic to high-mass aluminium, enhancing rigidity and suspension accuracy.

From its AI-modelled chassis to its vibration-tuned suspension, this is the best Gyro Michell has ever built — retaining its iconic form while delivering breathtaking sonic performance.

Price: £5,995 (without tonearm or cartridge)

Introducing the Michell Revolv Turntable: Performance Redefined

Positioned between the TecnoDec and the Gyro, the all-new Michell Revolv opens the door to Michell's engineering ethos in a more compact and approachable form.

Designed and built entirely in the UK, the Revolv captures the brand's dedication to longevity, modular design, and emotional engagement through music.

Precision Engineering Meets Simplicity

Built around a solid 19mm aerospace-grade aluminium chassis, the Revolv offers exceptional rigidity and mechanical grounding. Each foot features six Sorbothane™ damping nodes, isolating the deck from external vibration for superior resonance control.

Like the Gyro, the Revolv uses Michell's inverted bearing system, here employing a mono-helix oil channel for consistent, low-friction rotation. Its Delrin® platter, combined with peripheral solid brass weights, provides remarkable speed stability and tonal neutrality.

Advanced Power and Isolation

The Revolv's independent motor system is housed in a shielded, free-standing aluminium pod, completely isolated from the turntable to eliminate vibration transfer.
Both the motor unit and its matching PSU are CNC-machined from solid aluminium billets, ensuring exceptional RF shielding and grounding integrity.

This meticulous attention to detail ensures outstanding pitch stability, minimal wow and flutter, and an uncompromised signal path.

Core Features of the Michell Revolv

1. 19mm aerospace-grade aluminium chassis

2. Unsuspended design for direct mechanical grounding

3. Precision tonearm coupling with machined aluminium arm plate

4. Advanced Sorbothane™ isolation feet (six damping nodes)

5. Inverted mono-helix bearing for smooth, consistent rotation

6. Shielded motor pod and PSU with electronic speed control

7. Delrin® platter with 10mm peripheral brass weights

8. Designed, engineered, and hand-assembled in the UK

Price: £3,995 (without tonearm or cartridge)

A Platform for Growth and Longevity

The Michell Revolv is built to grow with its owner — featuring an upgrade-ready architecture and timeless engineering that ensures it will be a part of your system for decades.

According to Michell Audio's Managing Director Jonathan Nye, the Revolv "blends the key innovations of the Gyro with a refined TecnoDec platform, offering exceptional musical detail and control."

Conclusion: Two Turntables, One Vision

With the new Gyro and Revolv, Michell Audio continues its mission to refine the art of analogue playback.
The Gyro stands as the pinnacle of Michell's engineering heritage, while the Revolv brings that DNA to a broader audience — both united by precision craftsmanship, musical transparency, and British design excellence.

Whether you're rediscovering the magic of vinyl or upgrading your system, Michell's new turntables deliver performance, longevity, and emotion — the true essence of high-end analogue audio.
