What's Inside

Clamp
Avid’s single action clamp automatically flattens your records to the platter and channels vibration present within the record to the chassis below. This reduces the noise floor of the record itself, allowing you to hear more information and realism from your cherished records.

Platter
Precision machined from billet aluminium the metal platter gives a solidity and stability to the sound. Topped with Avid’s composite cork mat, interfacing the record to repel record vibration so it quickly transfers through Avid’s clamp bearing system, music is clear and crisp, exposing every minute detail in the mix.

Bearing
Using the uniquely designed sapphire jewelled bearing common to all Avid’s turntables, Avid manage to eliminate rumble noise making Avid’s turntables silent. This is achieved due to the zero-lateral movement within the self-lubricating bearing which is also maintenance free for life.

Such is Avid’s attention to detail; Avid temperature lock the bearing housing to the drive hub so that there is prefect concentricity and no chance of misalignment. This offers unparalleled mechanical tolerances for consistent speed, so the musical dynamics of your music is preserved.

Chassis
Avid’s uniquely designed chassis cast from large grain aluminium, optimising rigidity where its most required, keeping the tonearm and bearing locked into their respective positions. Any unwanted movement here will result in loss of musical information. A coating is applied to specifically damp high frequency vibration, so that both high and low frequency vibration is time aligned during dissipation, give a clear, focused, and neutral sound.

Suspension
Avid’s resilient coupled suspension offers formidable immunity against acoustic feedback, keeping your listening experience focused and full of detail. Trapped between two layers of Sorbothane, a high absorption elastomer damps both plains of vertical movement. An additional foot layer maximises isolation from the supporting surface, adding another barrier to unwanted noise.

Motor
Machined from solid steel, the stand-alone 5Kg motor housing absorbs any vibration, preventing any getting into the turntable structure. The high torque motor providing the smooth silent operation to rotate the platter, making sure you keep the rhythmic pace of your music rock solid.

Power Supply
Although rare in affordable turntables, the benefits of an external power supply are hard to deny. Avid have equipped the Diva II with a purposed designed mains transformer and electronics to construct a supremely smooth and consistent rotational force. Feeding a powerful motor, the resulting stability and the huge dynamic sound is instantly recognisable as AVID.
