Vertere Tempo Precision Motor Drive

The Vertere Tempo Precision Motor Drive is a microprocessor-controlled and programmable device that provides a smoother drive with lower noise and distortion to the record player motor, resulting in improved detail, dynamics, timbre, timing, and musicality. Its exceptional attention to detail, including gold-plated PCB and carefully selected components, ensures a clean final delivery of power to the motor.

Vertere Tempo Precision Motor Drive

Tempo Precision Motor Drive is based on the reference motor drive utilising some its most advanced control circuit design, implemented to advance beyond the SG motor drive with which the RG-1 and SG-1 Record Players have already had worldwide praise.

The music we hear when playing vinyl records, in reality, comes from the motor! The motor is the only source of energy in the system.  It is this energy that drives the record past the stylus thus making the music we hear.

Any amount of noise or fluctuation in the drive system will adversely impact on the music.  Detail, dynamics, timbre, timing and musicality are just some of the qualities that will suffer as a result.

The Tempo takes control of the record player motor and provides it with smoother drive with lower noise and lower distortion. Its internal circuit as with the reference motor drive is uniquely microprocessor based providing a pure sine wave in the digital domain and then converted to analogue via an on-board DAC. Two waveforms are derived, a cosine and a sine, which are then amplified using two bridged amplifiers to power the motor.

Exceptional attention to detail from gold plated PCB, four fully regulated voltage rails powering different sections of the circuit to carefully selected components ensure in-control and ‘clean final delivery of power to the motor.
