Radius5 Record Player 2with Nima Tone Arm


The design of the Radius5 record player has many special features not found in other similar turntables. Partnered with the NIMA tone arm, the Radius5 has unparalleled performance in its class.

Available in transparent acrylic, lacquered walnut veneer and lacquered maple veneer the Radius 5 borrows elements and technology from Roksan's world class record players to combine innovation and practicality in this stunning piece of design.

Radius 5's drive mechanism utilises a custom made synchronous motor fitted with a precision machined solid aluminium alloy pulley. The main bearing housing and spindle are designed and high precision machined from solid brass and stainless steel alloy to ensure smooth running and longevity.

The single piece solid acrylic platter is precision machined to ensure speed stability and then frost finished for smart aesthetic appearance. The Main Bearing, Platter and Nima arm are mounted on the sub-plinth and three point de-coupled from the main plinth. The motor assembly, also mounted to the main plinth, is further de-coupled to avoid motor noise and vibration break through. The sub-plinth thus isolates the cartridge/record interface and preserves detail, timing and dynamics.

Three chromed adjustable spiked feet assist levelling and optimum coupling to the surface upon which the Radius 5 rests. Matched to the NIMA arm, Radius 5 provides unparalleled performance demonstrating a perfect balance between design, technology and value. Its superior resolution and composure extracts plenty of detail in a well organised, crisp and informative manner.
