Transrotor Bellini TMD Turntable

An Updated Classic. A Fresh Take on Analog.

The Transrotor Bellini TMD combines a classic turntable silhouette with the mechanical sophistication of Transrotor Magnetic Drive technology.

Its acrylic chassis supports an aluminum-and-acrylic platter, creating a striking interplay of materials. Beneath that elegant exterior, the TMD bearing provides magnetic coupling within the drive system—an engineering approach designed to reduce the direct transfer of unwanted mechanical vibration.

A customizable 9-inch tonearm base makes the Bellini a flexible starting point for a carefully matched analog system, while an optional attached dust cover offers a practical finishing touch.

The Bellini's appeal lies in its balance: distinctive design, substantial construction, and the freedom to choose the tonearm and cartridge that suit your music.

 

Transrotor Magnetic Drive, Included as Standard

The Bellini incorporates Transrotor's TMD bearing as standard equipment.

TMD stands for Transrotor Magnetic Drive. Rather than transferring all rotational movement through a rigid mechanical connection, the technology uses magnetic coupling within the bearing assembly.

The system is designed to limit the direct transmission of drive-related mechanical energy to the platter, supporting the Bellini's approach to stable, precise analog playback.

There's no need to purchase a separate TMD upgrade: the bearing is already part of the Bellini's standard design.

 

Acrylic and Aluminum, Working Together

The Bellini's construction brings together two materials closely associated with Transrotor's turntable designs.

An acrylic chassis forms the foundation, while the platter combines aluminum and acrylic. The contrasting materials create a clean, architectural appearance that places the turntable's mechanical components on display.

An aluminum record weight completes the manufacturer's listed basic equipment.

The result is a turntable that looks as considered as the analog system it is designed to anchor.

 

A Tonearm Configuration Built Around Your System

The Bellini features a customizable 9-inch tonearm base.

That flexibility allows the turntable to be configured with a compatible tonearm and cartridge selected for your listening preferences, phono preamplifier, and overall system.

Whether you're considering a moving-magnet cartridge or a moving-coil design, choosing the right combination—and setting it up correctly—is essential to getting the most from the Bellini.

The tonearm and cartridge should be selected as part of the complete package rather than assumed to be included in the deck-only U.S. price.

 

A Practical Finishing Touch

For customers who want to protect their turntable between listening sessions, Transrotor offers an optional high-quality dust cover that attaches to the Bellini.

The manufacturer also lists platter-mat options in black or white, providing a subtle way to tailor the turntable's appearance.

These details make the Bellini adaptable to a dedicated listening room or an elegant living-space installation.

Technical Specifications

Specification note: Transrotor's English product page currently leaves its dimensions and weight section unpopulated. I've omitted those measurements rather than supply unverified figures. The manufacturer also does not specify platter thickness or platter weight on this page.

Configure Your Transrotor Bellini TMD

The Bellini is a configurable analog platform. Start with the turntable and select a compatible Konstant power supply, tonearm, and cartridge to complete the system.

Your U.S. distributor's price sheet lists the deck separately from its power supplies, along with an optional dust cover and record brush. Confirm the precise contents of any package before advertising it as ready to play.

Important: The listed U.S. deck-only price does not include a power supply, tonearm, or cartridge.
