** Exclusive in Victoria to Stereophonic & Vinyl Revival **
A modern classic with a twist
The turntable has been at the heart of home audio since the first Encel Hi-Fi store opened in Richmond in 1958. The turntable has evolved through the years from the basic mechanical contraptions of early gramophones to today’s finely tuned instruments of precision analogue audio. Now, in an era dominated by digital, the Encel S brings back the warmth, depth, and tactile joy of vinyl.
Designed for vinyl devotion
The Encel S is built for anyone who loves the magic of music in its classic analogue form. Its 8.6" S-shaped aluminium tonearm tracks records with precision, and is equipped with a detachable headshell. This makes swapping and upgrading cartridges a breeze, so you can experiment with different sounds and make upgrades with a quick twist of the collar. In the box you’ll find an Ortofon 2M Red moving magnet cartridge to get you started — pre-fitted to a headshell and factory-aligned.
From 33 to 45 RPM, speed changes are handled electronically with a simple rocker switch, letting you move effortlessly between your favourite albums and EPs. A heavy steel platter and TPE motor suspension ensure absolute stability, while magnetic anti-skating and a precision drive belt keep your LPs playing smoothly.
Thoughtful design, built by hand
Every Encel S is built by hand, using quality materials chosen to last a lifetime. It includes a built-in switchable phono preamp for easy integration into any audio system — meaning a separate phono preamp isn’t needed, but can be used if you so choose.
A high quality phono cable with gold-plated RCA connectors and a turntable dust cover are included as standard, rounding out a package designed for serious listening and everyday ease.
