Turntables, Arms & Cartridges

Acoustic Solid was founded in 1997 by Karl Wirth who began building high-mass turntables in a garage belonging to his parents. Karl designed his first deck using mechanical engineering principles he had learned as a production manager at an automotive firm, and as word spread he soon found himself making turntables for friends.

Demand increased so swiftly that in 1999 the search for a proper manufacturing facility began and in 2001 the company relocated to Altdorf, with international distribution commencing in 2002. By 2006 production had ramped up to such a degree that further expansion and new machinery was required, the company purchasing its first CNC machine four years later with a second arriving in 2011. The factory in Altdorf was then expanded further and the company resides there to this day.
