SME Synergy Mk2 Black with Synergy Tonearm

The SME Synergy Mk2 is a precision-engineered integrated turntable designed to provide a complete high-end vinyl playback solution with minimal setup. It combines a high-mass CNC-machined aluminium chassis and suspended sub-chassis with an advanced electronic drive system, the SME-designed Synergy tonearm based on the Series IV platform, an Ortofon MC Windfeld Ti moving-coil cartridge, a NAGRA-designed built-in phono stage and premium Crystal Cable internal wiring. The complete system is factory configured for straightforward installation while retaining the precision engineering associated with SME.

High-Mass Aluminium Chassis

The main chassis is precision machined from a solid billet of premium-grade aerospace aluminium. The high-mass construction provides a rigid foundation for the suspended sub-chassis, main bearing and tonearm while maintaining the compact footprint characteristic of the Synergy design.

Main Chassis	CNC-Machined Aluminium Billet
Sub-Chassis	CNC-Machined Aluminium
Construction	High-Mass / Precision Machined
Finish	SME Black

Suspension & Isolation

The sub-chassis is suspended on an advanced isolation system designed to control primary resonance. Four adjustable feet use polymer isolators and are mechanically de-coupled from the main chassis, providing a stable and controlled interface with the supporting surface.

Suspension	Advanced Isolated Suspension
Feet	4 Fully Adjustable Feet
Foot Coupling	Mechanically De-Coupled
Isolation Material	Polymer Isolators

Precision Main Bearing & Platter

The Synergy Mk2 uses a precision-machined 19 mm high-chrome tool-steel spindle that is ground and super-finished before being supported in a sealed bearing housing with individually fitted sintered-bronze bearings. The aluminium platter weighs more than 4.6 kg and incorporates an iso-damped, diamond-turned upper surface designed for secure record contact.

Spindle	19 mm High-Chrome Tool Steel
Bearing Housing	Sealed
Bearing	Individually Fitted Sintered Bronze Bearings
Platter Material	Machined Aluminium Alloy
Platter Weight	Over 4.6 kg
Platter Diameter	304 mm
Platter Surface	Iso-Damped / Diamond-Turned
Record Clamp	Reflex-Type Screw-Down Clamp

Synergy Tonearm

The Synergy Mk2 is equipped with the dedicated Synergy tonearm, based on the acclaimed SME Series IV design. It uses a one-piece pressure die-cast magnesium arm tube with internal damping and premium Crystal Cable wiring. The tonearm is factory configured with the supplied Ortofon MC Windfeld Ti cartridge for precise integration with the turntable and built-in phono stage.

Tonearm	Synergy Tonearm / Series IV-Based Design
Arm Material	Pressure Die-Cast Magnesium
Effective Mass	10.5 g
Cartridge Balance Range	5–16 g
Vertical Tracking Force	0–3 g
Overhang	17.8 mm
Offset Angle	23.635°
Internal Wiring	Crystal Cable

Ortofon MC Windfeld Ti Cartridge

The Synergy Mk2 is supplied as a factory-configured package with the Ortofon MC Windfeld Ti moving-coil cartridge. The cartridge is pre-installed and aligned as part of the integrated system, reducing the setup required before listening.

Cartridge Type	Moving Coil (MC)
Cartridge	Ortofon MC Windfeld Ti
Installation	Factory Fitted
System Configuration	Factory Matched

Built-In NAGRA Phono Stage

A dedicated NAGRA-designed phono stage is integrated into the Synergy Mk2, allowing the turntable to provide a line-level output directly to a compatible amplifier. This eliminates the need for a separate external phono preamplifier in a conventional setup.

Phono Stage	Integrated
Design	NAGRA
System Integration	Factory Configured
External Phono Stage Required	No

Crystal Cable Wiring

The tonearm is internally wired with premium Crystal Cable using pure mono-crystal silver conductors. The wiring is integrated into the factory-configured signal path between the cartridge and the built-in phono stage.

Internal Signal Wiring	Crystal Cable
Conductor	Pure Mono-Crystal Silver
Signal Path	Cartridge to Integrated Phono Stage

Advanced Drive System

The Synergy Mk2 uses a custom bi-phase AC synchronous motor controlled by a dedicated electronic speed-control unit. The control system generates two independent precision sine waves and matches them to the motor to provide accurate and stable platter rotation.

Drive Method	Belt Drive
Motor Type	Bi-Phase AC Synchronous Motor
Motor Control	DSP-Based Electronic Control
Playback Speeds	33⅓ RPM / 45 RPM
Speed Memory	Independent Settings
Fine Speed Adjustment	±0.01% Increments

Speed Control Unit

The dedicated Speed Control Unit provides precise electronic management of the motor. Independent settings are available for 33⅓ and 45 RPM, with fine pitch adjustment performed using the rotary control on the front panel.

Construction	CNC-Machined Billet Aluminium
Speed Selection	33⅓ RPM / 45 RPM
Fine Pitch Adjustment	±0.01%
Control	Switched Encoder / Rotary Control

Separate Power Unit

A separate mains Power Unit houses the transformer away from the Speed Control Unit and the turntable's audio signal cables. This physical separation helps maintain a clean analogue signal environment.

Power Unit	Separate External Unit
Transformer	Located Away from Audio Signal Cables
Configuration	Dedicated External Power Supply
