SME Unveils High-End Model 8 and Model 35 Turntables, Revolutionary Series Vi Tonearm, and SME Music LabelBritish audio engineering powerhouse SME has introduced a stunning lineup of new high-end hi-fi products, including the all-new Model 8 and Model 35 turntables, the cutting-edge Series Vi tonearm, and its own record label — SME Music.Starting with the SME Model 8, this premium turntable is a comprehensive redesign of the former entry-level Model 6. Housed in a high-density polymer chassis available in white, black, or midnight blue finishes, the Model 8 offers an upgraded 40% thicker platter for greater mass and an improved isolation system featuring larger, adjustable feet.At its core lies the acclaimed SME 309 magnesium tonearm, enhanced with Crystal Cable internal wiring and a removable headshell — ideal for audiophiles who frequently swap cartridges. The Model 8 is engineered for precision, stability, and rich analogue performance.Replacing the legendary Model 30, the new SME Model 35 turntable takes sophistication to the next level with an elegantly optimized tri-column suspension system — eliminating the 60 external suspension rings of its predecessor. The sub-chassis and platter have been acoustically re-tuned, and a new hydraulic damping mechanism improves rotational accuracy and pitch stability.This flagship-caliber deck also features an advanced electronic speed control system derived from SME’s top-of-the-range Model 60. The result? Impeccable speed consistency across 33, 45, and 78 RPM formats.The Series Vi tonearm, included with the Model 35, is an audio engineering marvel — precision-machined from a non-metallic polymer for minimal resonance and superior signal integrity. Sporting a circular cross-section for optimal rigidity, the Series Vi is manufactured using subtractive CNC processing — not 3D printing — for maximum precision and durability.Not stopping at turntables and tonearms, SME has launched SME Music, a new audiophile record label that delivers pure analog recordings captured live in a single take. Featuring performances from the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, these no-edit recordings aim to preserve the full dynamic range and emotional nuance of the original performance — with zero digital post-processing.Enthusiasts can get their hands on the SME Model 8 — paired with the SME 309 tonearm — for £9,999. The flagship Model 35, bundled with the Series Vi tonearm, is priced at £35,999 in standard finishes. Opting for the exclusive Midnight or Gunmetal finishes raises the price to £37,999.With the launch of the Model 8, Model 35, Series Vi tonearm, and SME Music, SME continues to redefine precision in the analog hi-fi world — offering unparalleled performance, craftsmanship, and musicality for discerning audiophiles.
