Description
The Gold Note Mediterraneo X Turntable represents the meeting point between the past and the future of Gold Note design. Inspired by the iconic Mediterraneo, this advanced record player reimagines analogue playback with cutting-edge engineering and refined aesthetics. Designed for enthusiasts seeking a truly next-generation high-end turntable, it blends traditional craftsmanship with sophisticated digital control.
Every function is managed via an integrated touchscreen display, allowing precise adjustment of speed and motor torque to match different records and musical styles. A built-in timer tracks stylus usage, helping monitor wear and maintain peak performance. Mediterraneo X is not just an evolution; it is a statement of how analogue heritage can be elevated through modern technology.
Advanced Motor Control and Precision Engineering
At the heart of the Gold Note Mediterraneo X Turntable lies a proprietary belt-drive system powered by a 12V ultra-precise synchronous motor. Controlled by a Quadral-Core microcontroller enhanced with an audio-grade converter, the system ensures perfect speed stability with no vibrations or fluctuations. Electronic fine pitch control allows accurate adjustment of both 33â…“rpm and 45rpm, with settings stored in memory for consistent performance.
The EPDM 70 shores rectified belt ensures smooth transmission, while wow and flutter are kept below 0.1% and rumble at an impressive -82dB. The Split-Spindle™ system and ceramic 4.3mm bearing further enhance rotational accuracy, delivering exceptional stability and remarkably quiet operation.
High-Mass Composite Platter for Ultimate Stability
The 7kg platter of the Gold Note Mediterraneo X Turntable is machined from solid aluminium and enhanced with high-density POM in a composite structure designed to minimise vibrations. With a substantial 45mm thickness, it guarantees outstanding rotational inertia and maximum precision in speed consistency. This high-mass design ensures superior energy control, reducing resonance while improving dynamic expression and low-frequency authority.
The result is a sound presentation that feels solid, powerful and incredibly detailed. Every rotation remains stable and consistent, preserving micro-dynamics and subtle tonal textures. The platter’s engineering plays a vital role in achieving the remarkable realism and musicality that define the Mediterraneo X listening experience.
Catenary Plinth and Italian Craftsmanship
The plinth construction reflects Gold Note’s dedication to structural excellence and Italian artistry. It consists of three carefully engineered layers: a large machined aluminium top plate, a 3mm stainless steel interface, and a lower plinth crafted from solid Italian wood shaped in the signature catenary curve. Inspired by the works of Michelangelo and Galileo, this distinctive form maximises rigidity while maintaining constant mass distribution.
The structure minimises unwanted resonances and enhances overall stability, resulting in superior detail retrieval and dynamic precision. Height-adjustable anodised aluminium feet provide optimal isolation and levelling. Every element of the Mediterraneo X Turntable demonstrates meticulous craftsmanship and uncompromising attention to acoustic performance.
B-7 Ceramic X Tonearm Integration
The Gold Note Mediterraneo X Turntable is supplied with the advanced B-7 Ceramic X tonearm, engineered to extract the finest detail from every record. Featuring ceramic bearings and precision construction, it ensures noiseless tracking and exceptional clarity. The tonearm’s refined geometry complements the turntable’s stability, delivering outstanding channel separation and tonal accuracy.
Premium internal wiring preserves signal integrity from cartridge to phono stage. Please note that while product images may show a cartridge fitted for demonstration purposes, the cartridge is available separately unless otherwise specified. This allows users to select a cartridge that perfectly matches their personal preferences and system requirements for a fully customised analogue setup.
Elegant Design with Modern Convenience
Beyond its technical excellence, the Gold Note Mediterraneo X Turntable offers refined usability and premium finishing. A smoked acrylic dust cover with hinges protects the mechanism while preserving its elegant appearance. High-quality RCA connectors at the rear ensure a reliable connection, and a dedicated phono cable is included for seamless integration.
Powered by an 18V DC supply with universal 100–240V compatibility, the system operates efficiently with a maximum consumption of 27W. Measuring 470mm wide and weighing 25kg net, it conveys both visual presence and mechanical authority. Mediterraneo X is a complete high-end analogue solution, combining beauty, precision and innovation in one exceptional record player.
