The Reed Muse 3A turntable was created using the form follows function principles of Bauhaus design.

REED MUSE 3A TURNTABLE

The entire body of the Reed Muse 3A Turntable, including the bottom, is made out of birch plywood, which Reed says makes it durable, stable, and non-resonant.

The turntable is available in three different colours: Carnelian Red, White and Black. The platter, which is raised slightly above the main body, and hidden feet create an illusion of a light, almost hovering item, although the turntable is quite heavy.

BEARING

The main bearing system of the Reed Muse 3A is the same as in the Muse 3C. It uses a reverse sliding thrust ball bearing for the main axis. The bearing ball is made from stainless steel and the lateral stability is achieved by using a very durable and low-noise sliding bearing.

BELT OR FRICTION DRIVE SYSTEM

The Muse 3A turntable has a user changeable traction system. It can be switched to a belt drive or friction drive very easily, in the same way as the Muse 3C. The main difference between the models Muse 1C, Muse 3C and Muse 3A is that Muse 3A uses a single, powerful, precision Coreless DC motor. A system like this is designed to ensure less noise coming from the drive system which may be transferred to LP and phono cartridge.

REED MUSE 3A DIGITAL CONTROL SYSTEM

The Reed Muse 3A has a digital control system indicator, which specifies the rotating speed of the platter and other important operating system information. In addition, the display shows an inclinometer connected to a very accurate level, which is important for correct horizontal adjustments.

The Reed Muse 3A allows a customer to mount one or two tonearms, either centred or off-centre mounting, of an effective length from 9.5″ to 12″.
