Verus, a New Way to Spin Vinyl
Prior to the ground-breaking Certus turntable
common audiophile wisdom held that the path to audio nirvana was by means of
a belt drive turntable. This advancement of the analog audio arts, the
Certus, proved that direct drive, when implemented properly, is capable of
so much more than previously realized. Now, Teres Audio brings the benefits
of the Certus motor technology to audio enthusiasts at an affordable price.
The Verus motor supercedes our Reference motor and is now the
standard motor for all 200 series Teres turntables.
Details
- Non-cogging multi-phase permanent magnet synchronous motor
- High resolution digital drive signal synthesis
- Speeds supported: 33-1/3, 45 and 78
- Motor torque adjustment: 7 steps.
- Motor height: 4.3 or 6.1" (to the O-ring center)
- Controller dimensions: 8.45"w x 9.75"d x 3.5"h
- Configurable sleep timer (shuts off after 42 minutes of uninterrupted
operation)

Direct Coupling
Verus introduces a simple and effective drive methodology we call Direct
Coupling. Direct Coupling utilizes a large diameter pulley, an o-ring and
gravity to directly couple the motor to the platter eliminating the
degradations introduced by belts and idler wheels. This simple and direct
approach in combination with the micro precise speed from the Certus inspired
multiphase synchronous motor results in a quantum leap in speed stability
compared to traditional belt drive systems. The beauty and elegance of the
Verus solution is only surpassed by the resulting quality of sound.
Along with rock solid speed stability the Verus motors micro-precise speed
eliminates smearing and distortions that are not typically attributed to
motor or drive issues. You must hear for yourself how articulate, delicate
and tuneful your records will sound with the Verus motor.
Flexibility
Switches in the Verus controller allow for precise control of both motor
speed and torque. This enables the user to customize motor parameters
according to individual tastes. The subtle differences from the torque
settings are quite interesting with lower settings sounding smoother and
higher settings sounding more controlled and articulate. The Verus controller
technology establishes spot on speed accuracy that will not drift over time
and never needs to be readjusted.
