In 2022, we set out to build the ultimate Wheel turntable. The result is Wheel 3 - the culmination of that vision. More than just the finest Wheel ever made, it's the definitive record player.
What is Wheel 3?
Wheel 3 is radical. It pushes the Wheel concept to its limits — and beyond.
-
We’ve developed a revolutionary optical stylus. No magnets, no coils — just light, shaping the purest analog audio.
-
A bespoke, high-end preamplifier has been meticulously engineered to complement the optical stylus, ensuring exceptional sonic clarity.
-
At its heart is the axial flux direct-drive motor we built in-house. Motor speed is optically controlled.
-
The rigid linear tonearm is redesigned from the ground up. Its geometry is precise and whisper-quiet.
-
All of this technology is seamlessly integrated into a design that makes your records appear to float.
Wheel 3 will be priced at €2,900, with a limited-time offer of €2,300. Preorders open next week. Deliveries begin at the end of June 2025.
In the weeks ahead, we’ll be offering a closer look at Wheel 3. We look forward to see you back!
