Beautiful design
White Wheel is a minimal masterpiece, built to be displayed. From a distance, it almost disappears behind the record.
Up close, the details reveal a refined instrument, built to make your records shine. It’s a feast for the eyes and for the ears.
You can set it upright, with the included stand. If if you prefer to hang it on the wall, it rises to the occasion.
Enjoy beauty from every angle, whether you press play or not. You can even use it horizontal, almost like a normal turntable.
Technology
Development of Wheel seems to never stop. White Wheel edition 2023 is our finest Wheel to date, and it is packed with updates.
Our new rev.4 linear tonearm is significantly refined, with a silent superbronze sliding mechanism that’s even more precise and gentle to your records.
Wheel's operating system, with all its features added over the years, has been rewritten from the ground up. Apart from improved efficiency and new functions, the software can now be updated by users.
The redesigned stand made out of solid aluminium is much more stable and enhances damping of vibrations even further.
History
In 2017 we invented the original Wheel turntable and launched a Kickstarter campaign. It took us six years of hard work to turn Wheel into reality.
Now, we develop and hand-build Wheels in our lab in Schagen, Noord-Holland. Wheel is a Dutch Design Award finalist.
The White Wheel is a celebration of our achievement, but it also helps to support our production capacity.

-
Tracks scan
Wheel’s sensors precisely scan your record’s tracks. The leds on the display show the track positions, and the bright led shows the stylus position.
Stunning sound
Wheel's beauty isn’t just skin deep. It’s packed with technology to master sonic excellence. A feast for the eyes and ears!
Constant Groove Speed & Unique Stylus Tracking
Normal good record players might run a precise 33 1/3 rpm rotational speed for a LP, but we think that misses the point. The record itself defines the playback quality as much as the player does, probably more. Wheel uses three closed loop motors and the linear tonearm to control all movement where it counts most: at the tip of the stylus.
Wheel continuously gathers info of all these motors to calculate the correct speed of the track or groove. White Wheel even plays a record that's out of alignment or balance. Just pop on almost any record on your White Wheel and enjoy your music as pure as it gets.
The acclaimed AT Nude Shibata cartridge provides our enhanced built-in audiophile preamp with precise and glorious audio. Wheel’s unmatched stylus tracking and constant groove speed are true turntable innovations, unique to Wheel.

Testimonials
Paul de GoedeYou have created a work of art of very high quality.
We are extremely impressed. The choice and composition of the materials make Wheel 2 a beautiful, high-quality product.
It is intuitive to use and the display is an extra eye-catcher.
Jaap de KoningI recently picked up my Wheel-2 personally in Schagen and I am very satisfied! The sound is great, crystal clear, the operation is very nice and simple, completely in keeping with the design.
In short, a deep bow and I have a unique record player that I use with pride!
Eric HuismanVery happy with my Wheel 2! It is a beautiful product, sounds great and is easy to use.
André ElferinkI received The Wheel 2 from you. What a fantastic sound. What a difference with CD and MP3, where you still can hear the loss due to digitization. I had to say goodbye to my LP's 15 years ago, but I never really liked the sound of CD's. Sampling is impoverishment and you miss the harmonics. Thanks for bringing this LP quality back into my life, great!
Frits BijlengaAfter unpacking we saw The Wheel 2 for the first time in real life. Wow! And after connecting, the party just got bigger and bigger. The beautiful full and warm sound, amazing. This is what it's all about in the end.
All I can say is, what a fantastic machine. And what an eye-catcher.
James VaraklisI received my Black Wheel and LOVE LOVE LOVE it!!! It is SO elegant, has INCREDIBLE features, and is a work of art that I am proud to display!! I know that you have put so much of your money, time, and hearts into this product, and I think you have created something extraordinary!!

Will SpencerFinally got the Wheel 2 after all the customs stuff. I am blown away and so happy. Thank you so much for your help. It is more than I expected and could have hoped for.

I can't wait to see what more that you all bring to the table of the evolution of the Wheel. I am forever a fan and customer.
Andreas AignerThe Wheel 2 arrived safe yesterday. It was a really nice experience to unpack and hear the first vinyls and also the whole system is really amazing.
Please say thanks to the whole team.
Götz FreytagI've had the Wheel 2 for a couple of months now and I could not be happier. I like beautiful, well designed things and the Wheel 2 is, imho, really up there. So, I guess what I want to say is 'bravo' and 'thank you'.
