The Michell TecnoDec is the entry-level turntable from Michell. Drawing heavily from the advanced design principles of its acclaimed sibling, the GyroDec, the TecnoDec incorporates premium features that elevate it well beyond its category.

Here’s a detailed look at what makes the Michell TecnoDec a standout:

Pure Sorbothane Feet Inserts

The TecnoDec is equipped with specially designed Sorbothane feet inserts, which provide exceptional isolation from structural vibrations. This ensures that the delicate playback process remains unaffected by external disturbances, delivering a purer sound reproduction.

Impedance-Matched Platter

The platter is a crucial component of any turntable, and Michell has designed the TecnoDec's impedance-matched platter to perfection. Its material is chosen not only for its vibration-dampening properties but also because it closely mimics the characteristics of vinyl. This design choice ensures a neutral sound signature, faithfully preserving the original recording’s integrity.

Free-Standing Motor Unit

One of the TecnoDec’s most impressive innovations is its free-standing motor unit, machined from a solid block of aircraft-grade aluminum. By separating the motor from the rest of the turntable, Michell minimizes the transfer of motor-generated vibrations to sensitive components. The motor connects to the platter only through the drive belt, effectively isolating it and significantly enhancing audio clarity.

Inverted Oil Circulating Main Bearing

A groundbreaking feature of the TecnoDec is its inverted oil circulating main bearing. Unlike traditional designs where the point of rotation is at the bottom, Michell's bearing places the rotation point at the top. The innovative Archimedean screw system ensures consistent lubrication throughout the bearing assembly. This constant lubrication eliminates noise and vibration, providing a seamless and precise platter rotation, which is critical for accurate sound reproduction.
