{"title":"SME","description":"\u003cp\u003eSME began in 1946 as the Scale Model Equipment Company, which is where the initials come from, making precision models for the exhibition and model engineering trade. By 1950 it was machining precision aircraft parts for Rolls-Royce, Hawker, and Martin Baker. Audio arrived almost incidentally in 1959, when founder Alastair Robertson-Aikman designed a pickup arm because he wanted a better one for himself. The arm was so obviously superior that it became the business.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat order of events explains SME better than anything else. This is a precision engineering company that happens to make turntables, and it still runs a separate engineering division serving aerospace, motorsport, medical, and automotive customers from the same Steyning works in West Sussex. The tolerances the turntables are held to come from that world, not from audio.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe current range is stated in the company's own tiers: the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/sme-model-60-turntable\"\u003eModel 60\u003c\/a\u003e at Ultimate Performance, the Model 35, the Model 12, the integrated Synergy, and the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/sme-model-8-turntable\"\u003eModel 8\u003c\/a\u003e, which SME itself calls an entry-level design. The engineering is uncompromising in specific, checkable ways — hydraulically damped main bearings, suspensions with independently controlled vertical and horizontal behavior, and, on the Series VA and Vi arms, armtubes CNC-machined from high-density polymer resin rather than metal, for a lower resonance signature. The Model 60's motor is fed by a dedicated DSP engine generating independent sine waves, holding 33.33 rpm to within five thousandths of a percent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003ca href=\"\/products\/sme-m2-series-tonearm\"\u003eM2 Series tonearms\u003c\/a\u003e are available on their own, for turntables that deserve better than what they came with — and an SME arm on a \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/dr-feickert\"\u003eDr. Feickert\u003c\/a\u003e deck is a combination worth asking about. \u003ca href=\"\/pages\/contact\"\u003eDiscuss an SME turntable\u003c\/a\u003e with us.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"sme-model-60-turntable","title":"SME Model 60 Turntable","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Model 60 is the most technically advanced turntable SME has ever made, an entirely new flagship design introduced sixty years after the company entered high-end audio.
