The wonderful and still unique entry-level drive from Scheu Analog offers high-end sound and looks - now also in the Maxi version
Masterful craftsmanship for analog perfection
The Scheu Cello turntable is a true masterpiece of German engineering, designed for music lovers who don't want to compromise on analog playback. It combines timeless design, high-quality materials and precise workmanship to create a listening experience that captures the soul of every record and reproduces it faithfully.
Design and workmanship
The Scheu Cello impresses with a minimalist, modern design that is an eye-catcher in any environment. The housing is made of solid acrylic, which not only provides an aesthetically pleasing appearance, but also offers acoustic advantages. The thickness of the material minimizes vibrations and resonances that could affect the sound. The turntable is available in various colors, including black, clear and white, so it can be perfectly integrated into any living environment.
With its elegant yet robust design, the Cello record player exudes unparalleled value. All components are carefully crafted and perfectly matched to ensure long-lasting performance and excellent sound quality.
Technical precision
The Cello has a number of technical features that make it an exceptional record player. The solid, precisely turned platter is made of 40 mm thick acrylic, which effectively absorbs resonances and ensures stable rotation. This guarantees precise playback of the records and minimizes distortion.
Another technical highlight is the drive unit. The Cello turntable uses a separate, external DC motor that keeps vibrations away from the chassis. The motor drives the platter via a finely tuned silicone belt, ensuring exceptionally smooth rotation and accurate speed. The motor also allows easy switching between 33 and 45 revolutions per minute.
Tonearm and scanning system
The turntable is specially designed for use with 9-inch tonearms, making it an ideal choice for music lovers who value compact precision. With its 30 mm thick platter made of high-quality acrylic, the Cello offers optimum resonance control and ensures precise and detailed sound reproduction that captures the soul of every record.
Compact sound wonder
Thanks to its compact dimensions of just 42.5 cm wide and 33 cm deep, the Cello can easily fit into tight spaces. It is particularly suitable for use on wall brackets, where its stable construction and effective decoupling allow it to develop its full potential even where space is limited. This space-saving design makes the Cello the perfect choice for music lovers who don't want to compromise on sound quality or aesthetics - even in smaller living spaces.
Versatility and adaptability
The Scheu Cello is available in two versions: with a standard or double-layer base. The double-layer base offers even better insulation properties and further minimizes vibrations. This is particularly advantageous in rooms where external influences such as impact sound play a role.
In addition, Scheu offers the option of further upgrading the Cello turntable with a variety of accessories such as record clamps, improved mats or installation bases. This modularity makes the Cello turntable a long-term investment that can be individually adapted to the user's requirements.
The turntable delivers exceptional sonic performance, making it a favorite among audiophiles. Thanks to its precise construction and high-quality materials, records are reproduced with impressive clarity, detail and dynamics. The bass is deep and powerful, the mids are warm and natural, and the treble is captivating with its delicacy and brilliance.
The use of high-quality components combined with the careful construction of the turntable preserves the original sound signature of the recording, so you can enjoy an authentic listening experience.
The great advantage of this turntable is that it can be placed in the smallest of spaces and feels most at home on wall mounts. As a complete package, it is set up and ready to play immediately.
