The Model 15 Mk. 2 is where SME’s unique Suspended Suspension System begins. Included are all the basic feature sets of the Model 6 and Model 12 with improvements and additions that make the Model 15 Mk. 2 a class leading example of analog engineering. Combining the small footprint of the smaller ‘tables with high-density construction, suspension, and fluid damping makes for an incredibly neutral and resolving presentation. A high-precision bearing, isolated transformer, and noise-free motor means silent rotation—always the key to high vinyl resolution. And to fully tailor the ’15 to your tastes, multiple arm options to choose from (Model 309, Series IV, and Series V, all wired with Mono-Crystal Silver) and the option of finishing the Model 15 Mk. 2 in the brilliant 75th anniversary Diamond Finish make it a high-value, highly capable ’table that delivers both musicality and punch.
The turntable system that sets the foundation for its bigger siblings.
