AVID Acutus Reference Mono Turntable (Dual Mono Power Supply)

The AVID Acutus Reference Mono represents the ultimate evolution of the Acutus platform — a no-compromise reference turntable that advances performance through a fully dual-mono drive and power architecture.

Building on the Acutus Reference, this version introduces dedicated, independent power supplies for each motor phase. By separating the drive system into a true dual-mono configuration, the Reference Mono achieves significantly lower noise, improved channel stability, and even greater rotational precision.

At its core, the Acutus Reference Mono retains AVID’s most advanced engineering — including the upgraded inverted bearing system, high-mass platter, and finely tuned suspension. These elements work together to deliver exceptional speed stability, ultra-low noise, and effective isolation from external vibration.

The key distinction lies in the motor control system. With dual-mono DSP-controlled power supplies, each phase of the motor is driven independently, reducing crosstalk and minimizing micro-variations in torque. This results in a more stable rotational platform, with improvements in timing accuracy, low-level detail retrieval, and overall musical coherence.

The audible benefits are immediate: a deeper, quieter background, more precise imaging, and enhanced dynamic contrast. Complex passages are rendered with greater separation and control, while subtle musical cues emerge with increased clarity and realism.

Designed for use with the finest tonearms and cartridges, and hand-built in the UK to AVID’s exacting standards, the Acutus Reference Mono is aimed squarely at systems where absolute performance is the goal.

What Sets the Reference Mono Apart:

• True dual-mono power supply architecture
• Independent motor phase control for reduced noise and crosstalk
• Improved rotational stability and torque consistency
• Greater low-level detail retrieval and timing precision
• Enhanced separation, imaging, and dynamic expression

Key Features:

• Reference-level high-mass turntable design
• Upgraded inverted bearing system for ultra-low noise
• Enhanced platter mass and damping for superior stability
• Advanced suspension for effective vibration isolation
• Dual-mono DSP-controlled external power supplies
• Exceptional control of resonance and energy dissipation
• Compatible with high-performance tonearms
• Hand-built in the UK

The AVID Acutus Reference Mono is the most refined expression of the Acutus platform — delivering greater control, lower noise, and a heightened sense of realism through its fully realized dual-mono design.
