Zeus LP12 motor speed controller and sensor (B) version

The Zeus board is designed and tested in the UK.

• Accurate motor pitch – essential to lock in the timing and enhance the listening pleasure of your vinyl
• CE, UKCA approved and marked.
• Precise electronic switching between 33.3 rpm and 45 rpm
• Automatic speed sensor calibration.
• Highly accurate and pure sine wave frequency synthesis generated for 50Hz or 67.5Hz controlled to 0.001 Hz
• Internal platter optical platter feedback sensor to lock platter rotation at rock-solid speed. +/- 0.003 rpm. Optical speed sensing automatically compensates for worn belts, pulleys, bearings, motors and stylus drag utilizing PID control.
• Control motor parameters such as frequencies, phase angle, and voltage amplitude via a serial interface. Adjusting these values enables the smoothest motor operation with minimum noise and vibration. Values may be saved once the optimum setup is achieved. The boards will ship with suggested default values but are fully configurable to suit your setup via a USB serial connection.
• Super quiet mode – Configurable option to reduce motor drive once the platter is at full speed. This reduces motor vibration and noise still further.
• Configurable Auto rotation on the application of main power
• Configurable low-power auto sleep timer when turntable idle.
• Combined black anodized aluminium switch/OLED display to indicate exact platter rotation speed and WOW. An alternative ordering option is the standard Linn style red/green LED*
• Automatic OLED display blanking (1-60 mins)
• Speed change is controlled by holding the power switch for four seconds. (Visual speed change badge and flash provided on OLED).
• Stylus and bearing run-time wear tracking counters
• Fits on the original Linn Valhalla cross brace mounting.
• Ready for Linn Karousel bearing.
• Class A motor drive circuitry.
• Less heat is generated than in the original Valhalla due to the redesigned PSU section (no more burned-out resistors).
• Can be installed in Linn Axis – just wire the motor and existing power switch to the Zeus (soldering required).
• Specially selected quiet production – We select the quietest boards for our Zeus range.
• Supply 110v-230v 50/60Hz.
• Works with 50Hz and 60Hz synchronous Linn/Premotec/Philips/Airpax 110V motors.

We also have a special top plate available in black or silver with a modification for the sensor flat cable, instead of routing it through a motor or bearing hole.

*Please specify in cart checkout notes if you would like the red/green LED switch option instead of the OLED.
