New Horizon 121 Manual Turntable
Attention to detail, high quality materials, exclusive projects and a captivating design that combines modernity with an elegant classicism: nothing less to be expected from a product entirely MADE in ITALY.
It derives directly from the entry level model of the range. New Horizon 121 proposes the same project, while the adoption of a thicker and heavier crystal clear methacrylate platter increases authority and fluidity to the reproduced music compared to the basic model. The high quality of the materials and the construction care are common to the other models in the New Horizon range.
An affordable turntable for everyone. A product that's second to none.
A MADE in ITALY product to be proud of.
Features
Synchronous AC motor
The turntable pulsating heart is the compact 24VAC synchronous motor whose main feature is its extremely regular rotation, independent from the variations of the mains voltage, given that its speed depends on the mains frequency. The high torque and the rotation speed of 500 rpm actively contribute to the regularity and fluidity of the plate rotation.
Belt drive
The transmission of the motion to the plate is obtained by a special belt in natural rubber. The choice of this material ensures an excellent energy transfer and a good decoupling from the vibrations produced by the engine during the operation.
One of the strong points in New Horizon turntables is the plate rotation pivot. The perfection of the movement is the result of a accurate project and several prototypes. Today the piece in production has a sturdy inverted bearing structure in three pieces of aluminium and steel that guarantee the maximum “silence” and a very low rotation friction.

Aluminium arm
The straight 8,6″ arm is supplied and ready for operation. Equipped with an MM cartridge with carbon stylus and calibrated on the right reading weight. Also the anti-skating is self-regulated. The aluminium rod ensure the necessary rigidity, letting the cartridge extracting the best sound from the grooves of the vinyl.
Plinth HD
101 is a rigid-base turntable. It is essential that the base, or plinth, is able to keep stable the fixing of the other parts of the apparel and to stand opposite to the transmission of vibrations and resonances: our choice at New Horizon is the compressed recycled wood pulp and artificial resins. This material is extremely smooth and heavy and its isomorphic composition works much more efficiently than the solid wood.
Methacrylate plate
The appearance is extremely important: on New Horizon turntables there are only laser-cut plates in Crystal Methacrylate. This material with a high specific weight combines the excellent ability to disperse the vibrations kinetic energy, to the elegance of a perfect transparency.
Output on RCA terminals
New Horizon turntables are interfaced in the best way with all your electronics. An excellent insulating material plate accommodates the gold-plated RCA output terminals and the separate earth connector.
