February 16, 2024 – Music lovers looking for the perfect deck to partner with their much-loved Exposure Electronics hi-fi components need look no further: the new Exposure 360 turntable has arrived.
British hi-fi brand Exposure Electronics is, as the company’s full name suggests, one whose focus tends to be firmly on electronics. With the launch of its first ever turntable, does this mean that the company is diversifying?
“Not exactly,” says Exposure. “This is more a case of ‘you asked, we listened’. Our customers have, for a while, been asking us for an Exposure turntable that seamlessly complements our range of electronics.”
The new Exposure 360 has been crafted in collaboration with a leading British turntable manufacturer and is designed to be that ‘perfect partner’ for the Exposure range, as well as being in keeping with the company’s ethos of creating products “that consistently outperform their direct competitors at prices that are as astounding as their performance”.
The turntable is built around a super lightweight plinth, in which a core of polyurethane foam (a material developed for the aerospace industry) is sandwiched between an extremely thin and rigid high-pressure laminate.
A dual-layer float glass platter, whose increased mass is designed for high speed stability, sits atop the sub-platter, which in turn is part of the bearing assembly and comprises a single piece of machined aluminium, also designed for enhanced speed stability. The bearing features an ultra-low friction brass hub which is anchored to the plinth using a machined aluminium collar.
The low-noise, synchronous 24V motor is driven by an aluminium drive pulley with belt. A dedicated, separate power supply, which is hand-tuned and precision-matched to the motor for each individual turntable, prevents unwanted noise from entering the turntable and ensures that delicate low-level signals are protected from potential sources of interference. The power supply unit provides push-button speed selection, advanced anti-vibration control and electronic fine speed adjustment.
The 360’s integrated tonearm features an arm tube designed using intelligent redistribution of mass to ensure fewer points of possible resonance, while its mounting is braced to the bearing housing to ensure maximum rigidity and accuracy.
Isolation feet are made from santoprene rubber and reinforced by aluminium.
The 360 turntable features Exposure’s signature minimalist design, and comes in a grey matt finish with high gloss black polymer edge trim and a distinctive vibrant red turntable mat. The turntable is supplied with a smoked polystyrene dust cover and is suitable for use with MC, MM or other cartridges (not included).
