The Helix One Mk3 is engineered to deliver unparalleled performance in analogue playback and is the result of many years of research, development, collaboration and listening by internationally acclaimed analogue designer Mark Dohmann and his team.

OVERVIEW

The Helix One Mk3 was designed with the objective in mind to create the ultimate turntable system. To achieve this ambition, Dohmann Audio has incorporated some unique design features and technologies, including a fully integrated MinusK vibration isolation system utilising NSM technology, a mechanical crossover network which is designed to dissipate mid and high frequency vibrations, floating armboards, a custom designed Swiss-manufactured motor designed to Dohmann Audio’s specifications and carefully designed resonance dissipation pathways within the chassis. The PowerBase contains the power supply, control software to drive the new motor and special high frequency / RF absorption features. It also contains a suspension stabiliser to lock the table from moving during record changeover, a lighting control system and power filtration functions.
