Acoustic Solid - Solid 110 Metal Aluminum Matte Turntable

*Package 1 contains WTB-370 Tonearm Only! No Cartridge! Microcontroller motor control M2 with crystal oscillator*

**Package 2 contains WTB-213 Tonearm Only! No Cartridge! Microcontroller motor control M2 with crystal oscillator**

The Solid 110 Metal Aluminum Matte is a belt-drive turntable from Acoustic Solid (Germany), available at Vinyl Sound in Toronto, Canada. Sharing the same core engineering as the Solid 110 Metal Polished, this variant presents the identical 6 kg, 30 mm thick CNC-machined aluminum platter and Microcontroller M2 quartz crystal motor control in a understated matte aluminum finish. Driven by a Berger Lahr synchronous motor with Nylon-silicone belt and multi-stage Teflon-and-silicone resonance decoupling throughout, it achieves a speed synchronization of 0.08% as measured with an Ortofon measuring computer. Available in Package 1 with the WTB-370 tonearm or Package 2 with the WTB-213 tonearm — cartridge not included.

All-Aluminum Construction and Resonance Optimization

Acoustic Solid engineered the Solid 110 Metal around a single guiding principle: eliminate resonance at every structural level. The 50 mm base carrier plate and feet are machined from solid aluminum and decoupled from the chassis via special Teflon discs and silicone mixture dampers. The stainless steel bearing axle sits in a cast liner and cast bearing bottom, itself damped and decoupled with additional Teflon discs, with a polished ceramic ball at the contact point for smooth, low-friction rotation. Height adjustment is provided through threaded spikes decoupled by felt feet, giving the Solid 110 Metal a stable, level foundation on any surface. The acoustically optimized drive shape of the chassis is engineered to minimize the transmission of structural vibration to the platter and stylus.

Microcontroller M2 Motor Control

Speed accuracy is governed by Acoustic Solid's Microcontroller M2 system with quartz crystal oscillator, delivering a synchronization figure of 0.08% as measured with an Ortofon measuring computer. Both 33.3 and 45 rpm speeds are selectable at the touch of a button, with fine adjustment available at any time without interrupting playback. The Berger Lahr synchronous motor drives the platter via a Nylon-silicone mixture belt, isolating motor vibration from the platter bearing. Power is supplied via a switching power supply with IEC plug, rated at 240 V / 47-63 Hz input and 32 V / 0.46 A output.

Key Features

• Matte Aluminum Finish: The same full-aluminum chassis and platter as the Polished variant, presented in a refined matte finish for a understated, contemporary aesthetic.
• 6 kg CNC-Machined Aluminum Platter: 30 mm thick platter CNC-precision turned and finished by hand for maximum mass, rigidity, and rotational stability.
• Microcontroller M2 with Crystal Oscillator: Quartz-referenced motor control delivers 0.08% speed synchronization with one-touch 33.3 and 45 rpm switching and real-time fine adjustment.
• Berger Lahr Synchronous Motor: German-made synchronous motor with Nylon-silicone belt drive isolates motor noise and vibration from the platter and bearing assembly.
• Multi-Layer Resonance Decoupling: Teflon disc and silicone damper isolation at the base plate, feet, and bearing housing suppresses structural and airborne resonance throughout the chassis.
• Polished Ceramic Ball Bearing: Stainless steel axle with cast bearing housing and polished ceramic ball contact point for low-friction, low-noise rotation.
• Genuine Leather and Plexiglas Platter Mat: 3 mm Plexiglas pad with genuine leather mat for optimal record contact and vibration damping at the record interface.
• Two Tonearm Packages: Available with the WTB-370 (Package 1) or WTB-213 (Package 2) tonearm — cartridge not included.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Acoustic Solid Solid 110 Metal Aluminum Matte?

The Acoustic Solid Solid 110 Metal Aluminum Matte is a belt-drive turntable from Acoustic Solid of Germany, built entirely from CNC-machined aluminum with a matte finish, featuring a 6 kg hand-finished platter, Berger Lahr synchronous motor, and Microcontroller M2 quartz-referenced speed control. It is available in two tonearm configurations and shares identical internal engineering with the Solid 110 Metal Polished variant.

What is the difference between the Solid 110 Metal Polished and the Solid 110 Metal Aluminum Matte?

The Solid 110 Metal Aluminum Matte and Solid 110 Metal Polished are mechanically identical — same 6 kg platter, Berger Lahr motor, Microcontroller M2, bearing assembly, and resonance decoupling system. The distinction is purely aesthetic: the Polished variant features a mirror-polished aluminum finish, while the Matte variant presents a subdued, brushed matte aluminum surface suited to listeners who prefer a more understated look in their listening room.

How does the Acoustic Solid Solid 110 Metal compare to the Pro-Ject X2 B or Rega Planar 6?

The Solid 110 Metal sits above the Pro-Ject X2 B and Rega Planar 6 in chassis mass and material quality. Where the Rega Planar 6 uses a lightweight phenolic resin plinth with an external Neo PSU for speed control, and the Pro-Ject X2 B combines an MDF and aluminum sandwich chassis, the Solid 110 Metal uses a full all-aluminum construction throughout with a heavier 6 kg platter and Teflon-and-silicone multi-stage resonance decoupling at every structural joint. The Microcontroller M2 quartz oscillator also provides real-time fine speed adjustment not available on either competing model as standard.

Does the Acoustic Solid Solid 110 Metal Aluminum Matte come with a cartridge?

No. Both Package 1 (WTB-370 tonearm) and Package 2 (WTB-213 tonearm) are supplied without a cartridge, allowing the buyer to select a cartridge that best matches their phono stage and system. Vinyl Sound Toronto can advise on cartridge pairing for either tonearm configuration.

Where can I buy the Acoustic Solid Solid 110 Metal Aluminum Matte in Toronto or Canada?

The Acoustic Solid Solid 110 Metal Aluminum Matte is available in Toronto, Canada at Vinyl Sound, an authorized Acoustic Solid dealer. Vinyl Sound's team can assist with tonearm package selection, cartridge recommendations, phono stage matching, and full setup support.

What phono stage does the Acoustic Solid Solid 110 Metal require?

The Solid 110 Metal requires an external phono stage, as none is built into the turntable. The appropriate phono stage depends on the cartridge selected — a moving magnet cartridge requires an MM phono input, while a moving coil cartridge requires an MC stage with suitable gain and loading. Vinyl Sound can recommend compatible phono stage options to complete the analog front end.
