The development of the BJA SilentAir Prestige is in full swing!
What to expect in 2026:
A completely new turntable, fully designed and manufactured in-house, with all components – including a newly developed, ultra-durable synchronous motor with electronic control, a new idler wheel and mechanism, a super-heavy main bearing, and an ultra-heavy platter – crafted by BJA Turntables.
The turntable’s speed will no longer be mechanically controlled, but electronically regulated (frequency-controlled) using a low-voltage power supply placed separately next to the unit. This eliminates the need for the original Lenco motor, which runs on mains power. The result: absolute precision and stability.
Switching between 33 and 45 RPM will be done via a selector switch, with fine-tuning handled by high-quality potentiometers. Set it once and forget it – perfect performance, every time!
The original geometry of the Lenco idler wheel will be retained – along with its characteristic drive and musicality.
Exciting things ahead!
There’s still so much to discover – stay curious!
