Walker Audio, one of the world’s leading manufacturers of high-end audio products, introduces the new Proscenium Black Diamond V turntable.
The Proscenium Black Diamond V (PBD V) features improvements to the air supply, record clamp and motor base assembly…and the company’s newest discovery! A specially-treated, fine-grained crystalline material, that reduces static build-up and cancels the effect of virtually all EMI, RFI and microwaves, is employed at strategic locations in the turntable’s operation. This dramatically reduces the noise floor and prevents distortion from ambient electrical noise being introduced into a system’s electronic components.
The PBD V turntable is friction-free due to the air-bearing arm and platter, resonance-free due to its adjustable air suspension, electrical-noise-free due to the PBD V upgrades and the linear-tracking arm plays records exactly the way they’re made, eliminating tracking errors.
The result is the most accurate, realistic-sounding turntable ever made. The sound is amazing with the blackest of black backgrounds, transparency is crystal-clear, dynamics are explosive, soundstaging is expansive and the bass is profound. Many considered the previous PBD turntable to be the best turntable in the world, but the new Proscenium Black Diamond V is an uncompromised work of audio art that has to be experienced to be believed.
“Most people don’t realize the amount of music that can be found in the grooves of an LP,” says president Lloyd Walker. “It is our goal to extract every detail, every nuance of the music from the LP and reproduce it with realism and clarity that captures the passion of the performance. Nothing can do that like a well-recorded LP and no turntable can do it better than this one. Analog playback is still superior to every other technology, and with this turntable it has taken a quantum leap forward. Music lovers owe it to themselves to hear the PBD V.”
Walker Audio has received more than 85 industry awards for its audio and video components and accessories. All previously-purchased Walker Proscenium turntables can be upgraded to the Black Diamond V specs. The Proscenium Black Diamond V turntable is priced at $105,000.00 USD.
