The Ultimate Model 30.

The Model 30/12 and Series V-12 tonearm offers performance over 30% better than the Model 30.

A precision turntable of uncompromising quality and engineering excellence.
Heavy mass, extensional dampening, ingenious suspension and intelligent acoustic treatment contribute to the audio excellence. A new highly sophisticated drive system provides a significant advancement in speed control and accuracy.

The Model 30/12 is the former SME flagship turntable and once judged as ‘the best turntable of all time’ and for many years considered to be the world’s reference standard turntable. These accreditations are derived from the ingenious design, precision engineering and fundamental physics. The net result being an outstanding performance of detail, resolution and neutrality with a dynamic range that does justice to the original sound.

The Model 30/12 is effortless in controlling and managing vibration, resonance, mechanical energy and electrical fields. Weighing over 50kg it is significant in relation to mass and density. The main and sub-chassis’ resists flexing at low frequencies whilst high frequency resonance is attenuated by efficient extensional damping.

Customer Reviews (4.6 / 5 · 5 reviews)

Emily ★★★★★

The platter spins up to speed so smoothly and stays dead quiet — the isolation from the motor is clearly leagues ahead of my old deck. I’m hearing details in familiar records I never noticed before.

Henry ★★★★★

Installing the Series V-12 arm was surprisingly intuitive, and the isolation from the motor is so good that I hear detail in my records I have never noticed before. The build quality of the platter alone justifies the investment.

Ruby ★★★★★

After switching from my previous table, the speed stability with the 30/12 is immediately obvious—records just sound more solid and focused. The Series V-12 arm tracks warped vinyl effortlessly, and the whole setup feels built like a tank.
