At its heart is VPI's direct-drive and motor-control technology: a three-phase BLDC motor with each phase powered by its own internal Class D amplifier, making the Statement a powerhouse of precision and speed stability. Housed in an engineered, machined, vented casing, the direct drive is ready to spin at the press of a button, seamlessly switching between 33 and 45 rpm. Handmade in the USA, the Avenger Statement is available now at Vinyl Sound in Buffalo, NY USA.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Avenger Statement pairs the multi-arm Avenger Tripod chassis, with its upgraded chassis and armboard, with VPI's high-torque three-phase BLDC direct-drive motor for exceptional speed stability. A one-second start\/stop and 2,500 pulses\/revolution speed monitoring keep rotation precise, while the machined aluminum and acrylic construction and 12-inch, 25 lb solid aluminum platter reject resonance. The \"sandbox\" layout lets you mount multiple tonearms to compare cartridges and setups, and this configuration ships with the JMW-12 Fatboy Gimbal tonearm, making it a true reference-level analog centerpiece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eItem Code\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAV-S\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMotor Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDirect drive, 3-phase BLDC (per-phase Class D amplification)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMotor Torque\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2.68 Nm\/sec\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpeeds\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e33 \/ 45 rpm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStart\/Stop Time\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1 second\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpeed Monitoring\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2,500 pulses\/revolution\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eChassis\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAluminum and machined acrylic, upgraded Avenger Tripod with upgraded armboard\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePlatter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e12 inch aluminum, 25 lbs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTonearm Included\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eJMW-12 Fatboy Gimbal\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFootprint\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e21.75 x 16.75 in\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOverall Size\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e22 x 17 x 10 in\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTotal Weight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e70 lbs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eVPI Fatboy Gimbal 12-3D Tonearm\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBearing Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFull gimbal bearing\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePivot to Spindle\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e300 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEffective Length\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e313.0 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEffective Mass\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e12.5 g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOverhang \/ Offset\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e13 mm \/ 17.37°\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAverage RMS Distortion\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.267%\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eInternal Wire\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNordost Reference wire\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3D technology (epoxy resin, Delrin, copper, aluminum, steel)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAdjustments\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAdjustable drop counterweight, azimuth side weights, VTA, Limo connection\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy Buy from Vinyl Sound?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVinyl Sound is an authorized VPI dealer in Buffalo, NY USA.
