Dr. Feickert Blackbird

The idea

… was obvious. The design of the smaller brother offered incentives to build a larger drive on this basis. Since there are many lovers who want to operate two tonearms in parallel, we have taken up this topic. It should not only be an “upscaling” of the existing concept, but also set new accents in addition to the already well-known ease of use.

The mission

… was to further develop on the technical basis of the Woodpecker and to advance into new dimensions. Running two tonearms was one requirement, but the drive needed to be refined again. For this we have the control of the Woodpecker modi? ed and operate the two motors in a kind of “master-slave” configuration.

The arrangement at 180° to each other ensures that the platter is driven tangentially – one-sided traction is not possible and thus wobbling movements of the platter are reduced to an absolute minimum.

This is accompanied by a further reduction in rumbling noises. The synchronization accuracy could be increased again compared to the Woodpecker.

The result

… is an even higher level of sovereignty in the sound – excellent measured values ​​and a timeless appearance, paired with the simplest handling. As a world first, we have implemented an integrated template with the Blackbird, with which you can easily adjust your tonearm and cartridge. You will be amazed how easy adjustment can be.

The sound

… sovereign, dynamic, powerful and yet neutral. It doesn’t matter which tonearm you use, you can immerse yourself in the fascination of music, because you have the certainty that not even the smallest detail of your black treasures will be withheld from you. Forget all technology, enjoy music in all its beauty!
