CPS1 – Hearing is Believing

THE FIRST CYLINDER PLAYBACK SYSTEM

Most cylinder playback devices use off-the-shelf vinyl technology - tonearms, cartridges and electronics - to play cylinders even though this format has little in common with LPs.

CPS1 is a system of custom components designed to work together and play cylinders with ultra-low distortion and minimal wear.

The CPS1 transport is designed for the most rigorous production environments with easy, fast auditioning; exceptionally quiet transfers; and new features that facilitate work on problem cylinders.

Our vTrace® series cartridges are unique – the only specifically designed cartridge to accurately trace the vertical modulations and unusual geometry of cylinder grooves, reducing distortion and noise to new lows. When combined with our damped, double de-coupled tonearm, vTrace can track early recordings at forces as low as 1.4 grams, reducing record wear and potential damage to near zero.

Thanks to its ergonomic design and rugged construction, CPS1 is the easiest-to-use and fastest platform for sound archives and audio preservationists as well as serious cylinder collectors.

With CPS1, the true sonic quality of cylinder recordings is finally revealed and previously unheard musical nuances are experienced.

All CPS1 Technologies products are designed and manufactured in the USA.
