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. Verus is a plug and play
upgrade and is highly recommended for all Teres models. Special upgrade
pricing is available for customers interested in trading in their existing
Signature or Reference Motors.
Available for non Teres Turntables
The Verus motor is easily adapted to many non-Teres turntables. All that
is required is the ability to position the Verus motor against the turntable
platter. The Verus motor simply leans against the platter and gravity provides
the proper pressure. No sensor or strobe disk is required to achieve constant,
consistent non-cogging platter speed. The Verus motor is available in two
heights placing the center of the drive mechanism at 4.3 or at 6.1 inches.
Due to its superior speed and stability, the Verus motor will bring
extraordinary musical value to any turntable to which it can be applied.
Price: $1690

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.
