[H2] OVERVIEW

[H1] DESIGNED.DEVELOPED.MANUFACTURED.

The GMT® One System has been designed and developed by a large number of people and organisations that are collectively referred to as the GMT Consortium. The GMT® One System is comprised of thirty novel developments. It incorporates technology with international patents that are pending and a number of design registrations. The manufacturing intellectual property all resides within Wilson Benesch. As such it is inconceivable that another turntable with GMT® technologies will emerge. Two product names are trademarked GMT® and GRAVITON®.

MADE IN SHEFFIELD
Wilson Benesch is a proud product of Sheffield,  a city known globally for its rich industrial heritage and expertise in various fields of material science and engineering. In 2024 this rich heritage is evident through the presence of esteemed institutions like The University of Sheffield and The Sheffield Hallam University, but also in the Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre and the Advanced Manufacturing Park which now hosts major manufacturing and research centres for McLaren Automotive, Rolls-Royce and BAE Systems to name but a few. As a result of its heritage and continued presence as a centre for engineering excellence, Sheffield continues to attract a talented, highly trained engineering workforce and international students. In 2024 Wilson Benesch operates from a 25,000 square foot facility. Within this facility the company has invested consistently through its 35-year history in cutting-edge manufacturing systems, operating a fleet of CNC Centres, along with all carbon fibre and bio-composite manufacturing systems. A twenty strong workforce is comprised of expert technicians and highly trained engineers. Wilson Benesch is and has been at the forefront of the high-end audio industry for more than three-decades, introducing cutting-edge technologies not limited only to the products themselves, but also to the materials that synthesise these products and also the manufacturing systems used to create them. Wilson Benesch has consistently pioneered in material innovation within the audio industry. The brand has a track record of introducing novel materials ahead of its competitors. Whilst Carbon Fibre is synonymous with Wilson Benesch, the company has also been instrumental in advancing the use of RTM (Resin Transfer Moulding) technology since 1996, a technique that was relatively unknown at the time. The incorporation of Carbon-Nanotube and Graphene enhanced pre-preg in the various A.C.T. Tonearm’s that the company introduced from 1991 to the early 2000s showcased the company’s commitment to utilising cutting-edge materials long before they became mainstream in audio design.

More recently Wilson Benesch has made a significant breakthrough by introducing the world’s first bio-composite based loudspeaker enclosures. This breakthrough new materials technology was possible thanks to Wilson Benesch’s participation by invitation to the SSUCHY Horizon 2020 Grant Project that had a €7.4-million budget. The result of this project marks a new era in audio design that set a new benchmark in the performance and application of composite structures, logically where Wilson Benesch led with Carbon Fibre in the audio industry and others followed, it is expected that others will now follow and adopt bio-based composite structures within future audio product designs in the coming years.

In addition, Wilson Benesch embraced additive “3D Printing” manufacturing technologies at an early stage, indeed some of the first components developed through the first grant project that Wilson Benesch undertook in 2008 entitled “The Mondrian Project” were entirely based on additively manufactured components. These components were manufactured at the AMRC in Sheffield, and it was ultimately work completed in collaboration with The University of Sheffield, Renishaw PLC and The AMRC that would lead to the final production models of all additively Selective Laser Sintered (SLS) manufactured Titanium parts in the Graviton® Armwand and the Tessellate Cartridges. Additive manufacturing has played a crucial role in the accelerated development of various subsystems of the GMT® One System as well as transforming the performance capabilities of the Graviton® tonearm.Wilson Benesch now operates a fleet of MarkForged additive manufacturing centres within its factory in Sheffield.

The above examples are just a glimpse of the vast intellectual property that forms the foundation of Wilson Benesch’s creative capabilities. The company’s success stems not only from its cutting-edge systems and manufacturing excellence but also from the exceptional craftsmanship of its highly skilled team. Many of these individuals have dedicated decades to bringing Wilson Benesch designs to life, showcasing their unwavering dedication, passion, and talent.
It is the collective efforts of these craftspeople that infuse Wilson Benesch products with an intangible quality rarely found in today’s manufacturing landscape. Their expertise and attention to detail result in products that are instantly recognisable even from a distance, serving as a testament to their collective artistry and commitment to excellence.

[H1] GMT® One System Turntable

GMT® One System is a collection of completely new solutions that have been brought together to create one harmonious analogue replay system. Every aspect of the design serves a purpose, leaving no room for redundancy or embellishment. Interdependent systems are harmonised and finely tuned through careful material choice and novel design that extract incremental and cumulative improvements that go beyond the sum of the parts. Beyond technical considerations, the GMT® One System acknowledges the precious nature of its task. It is designed for those who value their vinyl record collections not just as possessions but as a responsibility, it is designed for the archivist. Similar to a fine watch, classic car, or cherished family heirloom, ownership is transient, and preservation is paramount. This understanding of the profound significance of music and its contribution to life is woven into every aspect of the GMT® One System. To date almost all turntable designs rely on technologies that restrict any potential for significant improvement in performance. Examples of such technologies include belt drives, coil springs for isolation, screw threads for precision adjustment, and a tendency  to increase the mass of a turntable to increase its perceived value. Another almost ubiquitous element of other analogue systems is the assembly of multiple sub-systems, bringing together products from two or three different brands to assemble a system. The GMT® One System eliminates the potential pitfalls of an assembly of third party products by providing a unified interdependency between components so as to create one homogeneous whole. This is achieved through the utilisation of advanced materials science, cutting-edge manufacturing techniques, meticulous attention to geometrical precision and novel ways of approaching the problem. Some of the more notable developments have entirely eliminated the potential for inaccuracy and poor setup and installation. The Unified System design approach that was first seen in the Wilson Benesch Total System of 1996 aims to bring harmony to system design that goes beyond the turntable and includes the phono stage as an integral and adjustable element also. The critical aim in this case is to preserve the precious millivolt signals of the MC cartridge, again, driven by the credo of building in cumulative improvements rather than cumulative errors. When sub-systems are optimised to seamlessly work together, the overall quality of the system surpasses the sum of its individual parts. Comprised of no fewer than 27 completely novel developments the GMT® One System’s unified design produces a new reference for analogue replay.

[H1] OMEGA Drive

Invented for one purpose only, the OMEGA Drive and ALPHA Drive designs were developed by a team of Doctors, Professors and Engineers formed under the GMT Consortium in 2019. This team was brought together with the aid of £326,000 of public funding from Innovate UK. The collaborative team comprised of Dr Faris Al Naemi, Dr Jon Travis and Professor Cockerham of The Sheffield Hallam University and Dr Carl Broomfield and Neil Broomfield of CAAS Audio. However, the pursuit of a turntable drive that meet the highest standards of audio quality and minimal deviations in the time domain has been a significant challenge extending over two-decades and this work can be found through publicly funded and therefore publicly available grant projects originally under the project name ‘The Mondrian Project’. The OMEGA Drive motor is a collection of diverse technologies developed through expertise in electro-magnetic structural engineering, dynamic electro-magnetics, coil winding and precision machining of metals and polymers. The circumjacent radial force design of the OMEGA Drive motor provides a unique method of power transmission, resulting in smooth and precise rotation of the turntable platter. This innovative design eliminates the noise and vibration of all prior art. The OMEGA Drive is a slot-less synchronous motor, delivering vanishingly low torque ripple and precise speed stability. The RMS value of the torque ripple is 0.001342 (N.m). The torque ripple includes all the components (like cogging torque and the current commutation and air-gap flux harmonics). Prof. Eric Laithwaite of The UniversIty of Manchester who invented the linear motor derived an equation of “goodness” which described motor efficiency in general terms and in which he interpreted that motor efficiency increases with size and thus “goodness” increases as efficiency increases. At 15” the OMEGA Drive is the largest motor ever designed and developed for a turntable. The most commonly used direct drive motor in turntable design today is just 3.07”, five times smaller than the OMEGA Drive.  However, there are multiple complex factors that govern the performance of a motor. The position of the coils, the density of the coil winding, the position of the magnets, the strength and flux pattern of the magnets, the mass of the moving components, the method of delivering the current to the system and of course the crucial design of the bearing.  During the development, WB evaluated and eventually defined the exact size of the rotor and the placement of the NDFeB magnets. This process was conducted using finite element modelling and evaluated skewing and complex NdFeB geometrical forms. WB also invested in coil winding machinery and recruited a graduate to work exclusively on this task. Precision mandrels were developed to interactively define the geometry of the coils. The stator is responsible for governing the synchronicity of the rotor. It achieves unprecedented levels of accuracy with minimal torque ripple, no noise and zero cogging. Once synchronicity is achieved the system requires no feedback or complex speed compensation; the simplicity of a synchronous motor ensures exceptional speed stability.  Magnetic Counter Force DesignAccurately calculating Hertzian forces is crucial in engineering mechanical systems, especially in turntables and tonearms with single point contact designs. The analysis of Hertzian forces becomes vital due to the high pressure levels applied to materials. The OMEGA Drive motor, weighing 14kg (31lbs), is the largest motor designed for a turntable.  Following a comprehensive analysis conducted by The Sheffield Hallam University, led by Dr. Faris Al-Naemi, a magnetic counter force design was developed to reduce the overall mass of the dynamic parts that comprise the platter. This design incorporates two powerful N30H NdFeB magnets to ensure that the Hertzian forces at the contact point of the Angstrom bearing are well within tolerance limits. This approach minimises wear and provides sufficient force for the efficient transfer of energy from the platter to the entire system within the FrACTal Motor Chassis. The combination of these features results in a turntable design that is unmatched in elegance, simplicity and precision. The body of work represents the largest study of direct drive motor design ever undertaken by any audio company and the results are a valuable IP asset protected by a patent.  The Unified System design approach that was first seen in the Wilson Benesch Total System of 1996 aims to bring harmony to system design that goes beyond the turntable and includes the phono stage as an integral and adjustable element also. The critical aim in this case is to preserve the precious millivolt signals of the MC cartridge, again, driven by the credo of building in cumulative improvements rather than cumulative errors. When sub-systems are optimised to seamlessly work together, the overall quality of the system surpasses the sum of its individual parts. Comprised of no fewer than 27 completely novel developments the GMT® One System’s unified design produces a new reference for analogue replay.

[H1] ALPHA Drive

The ALPHA Drive was developed in parallel with the OMEGA Drive motor. It is a sophisticated set of electronics that is design to deliver low torque to minimise torque ripple, which is a major challenge in motor drives. A novel start up algorithm is delivered by the onboard micro-processor which overcomes the significant air gap between the stator and the rotor in the OMEGA Drive. The OMEGA Drive then accelerates to synchronicity. Constant speed is then maintained by the micro-processor in the ALPHA Drive which delivers three pure sine waves via three linear class-A amplifiers to the 21 magnetic poles in the OMEGA Drive. The sine wave accuracy is governed by an onboard 11.2896 MHz quartz crystal. One phase is delivered to 7 poles in a 7by7by7 formation. Each phase has its own discrete linear class-A amplifier that delivers a low distortion 1.2amp high-quality sine wave.  The synchronisation of the motor and the high inertia of the platter are the driving forces behind the OMEGA Drive’s exceptional precision. There are Hall sensors which monitor the speed and ensure that the armwand Piezo VTA Control System cannot function until precise and accurate speed has been attained in the OMEGA Drive.

[H2] OVERVIEW

[H1] GRAVITON® Ti: Biomimetic Design. Absolute Fidelity.

The most advanced tonearm ever engineered. Crafted for the discerning audiophile and the true music lover, GRAVITON® Ti delivers a new benchmark in analogue performance. This is British engineering at its most advanced—uniting a graphene-reinforced carbon fibre armtube with biomimetic titanium structures grown through state-of-the-art additive manufacturing. Every curve. Every interface. Every gram. Considered, refined, perfected.Engineered for absolute precision and mechanical neutrality. A testament to the attention to every detail is STAGE One—a unique, elegant solution unlike anything seen before in tonearm design. It allows the tonearm wire to exit vertically over the pivot and into a shielded chamber with less than an inch of exposure, eliminating all mechanical force imposed by the wire and protecting the signal at its most vulnerable point. No distortion. No colouration. Just pure analogue—faithfully preserved, beautifully delivered. For those who demand more from their music. This is the future of vinyl. Engineered.

[IMG: wilson-benesch-icon_2x]

[H2] DESIGN

[H2] Quad-Helix Carbon Fibre Armwand

[H2]
The GRAVITON® Ti armtube is a single-piece carbon fibre structure, hand laid by Wilson Benesch technicians with a complex quad-helix fibre orientation and an integrated carbon fibre headshell.
Its hyperbolic form optimises the distribution of stiffness and mass—maximising performance with zero material redundancy.
Reinforced with a graphene-enhanced matrix and selective U.D. fibre placement to optimise damping and energy transfer. Internally, Rohacell and viscoelastic materials provide industry benchmark damping.
The result is the stiffest, most highly damped tonearm tube ever engineered. If nature grew a tonearm, this is what it would look like.

[H2] Biomimetic Titanium Counterbalance Architecture

[H2] The GRAVITON® Ti features a titanium counterbalance system—grown, not machined—using advanced additive manufacturing. Evolved over years of R&D, this architecture transitions through hollow, tessellated, and solid sections, each meticulously optimised for its role within the system.
It begins with a lightweight hollow form that follows the helix of the carbon armtube, creating a large surface area for seamless energy transfer while keeping mass to a minimum. Moving under the pivot point to maintain the lowest possible centre of gravity, the structure becomes internally tessellated, absorbing energy through anisotropic lattice geometry.
Finally, it transitions to a solid form at the bearing interface—delivering maximum stiffness where it’s needed most.
This adaptive architecture minimises mass, maximises damping and stiffness, and defines a form dictated entirely by function.

[H2] Kinematic Bearing System with Zirconium Elements

[H2] The GRAVITON® Ti features a precision-engineered kinematic bearing, evolved from the acclaimed A.C.T. One Tonearm. At its core are ultra-hard zirconium bearing elements, selected for their exceptional surface finish and ability to reduce friction under extreme Hertzian contact loads. These properties ensure near-zero stiction and ultra-smooth tracking performance.
A hybrid tri-point bearing arrangement—featuring two zirconium balls and one conductive steel ball—delivers both mechanical stability and effective electrical grounding. This combination minimises noise and distortion, enabling the tonearm to follow the groove with absolute neutrality and without interference.
When fitted to a Wilson Benesch turntable, the GRAVITON® Ti integrates its Piezo VTA system for micro-adjustable tracking height, along with a damping reservoir to further control resonance. Together, these features form a bearing system of remarkable precision, refined through decades of British engineering innovation.

[H2] STAGE One Over-Arm Interface

[H2] Originally developed for Wilson Benesch’s System Turntables—the GMT One and Prime Meridian—STAGE One redefines the relationship between the tonearm and the signal chain. Its over-arm design allows the tonearm wire to exit vertically above the pivot into a copper-shielded chamber, with less than one inch of unshielded cable exposed.
This eliminates mechanical loading at the bearing and prevents torque or drag from the signal cable—an often-overlooked flaw in traditional designs. At nanometre tracking resolutions, even the smallest external force can compromise accuracy.
Now engineered to integrate with select third-party turntables, STAGE One delivers its uniquely elegant and effective solution to a wider community of discerning audiophiles. By preserving mechanical neutrality and signal integrity at the most critical point, it ensures the music remains untouched, uncoloured, and absolutely faithful.

[H2] The FIN

[H2] The FIN is a precision-engineered titanium arch developed exclusively for the TESSELLATE® Ti Cartridge and GRAVITON® Ti Tonearm interface. Manufactured using Selective Laser Sintering (SLS), its form combines minimal mass with maximum rigidity, delivering superior mechanical stability at the critical connection point.
This is not a conventional fastening system. By replacing traditional bolts and washers with a structurally integrated component, the FIN completes a multi-material damping pathway, uniting cartridge and tonearm into one coherent, high-performance assembly.
For those seeking to extract the highest level of resolution from their analogue system, the FIN is a defining element—an expression of Wilson Benesch’s total systems approach to analogue audio.

[H2] Modular System Compatibility

[H2] The GRAVITON® Ti Tonearm has been engineered with modularity in mind. While it was originally developed for Wilson Benesch’s System Turntables, a custom armboard has now been created to support installation of the GRAVITON® Ti on other leading third-party turntables.
This is just the beginning.
With its 12" format and highly refined mechanical architecture, GRAVITON® Ti is ready to integrate into a wide range of premium analogue systems. Additional armboards will be developed to support other platforms.
For discerning audiophiles seeking to elevate their turntable with the world’s most advanced tonearm, Wilson Benesch invites enquiries for custom adaptation and installation.

[H2] OVERVIEW

[H1] Hybrid Sapphire x U.D. Carbon Cantilever.A World First Hybridised Design.

The cartridge of a record player is the source of everything that is heard. The geometry and material design of the body of the cartridge is critical to its performance. Wilson Benesch’s expertise in cartridge design dates back to the first decade of the company’s product development. During this period, Wilson Benesch designed and developed a range of cartridges that included the Matrix, the Ply, the Carbon and the Analogue. The development of the new TESSELLATE Ti Cartridges builds upon the lessons learned from the original Wilson Benesch cartridge range, which were pioneering in their use of carbon fibre technology. Now, in 2024, Wilson Benesch introduces a new range of cartridges that are equally groundbreaking, this time leveraging state-of-the-art materials and manufacturing technologies, including titanium alloy and selective laser sintering.

[H2] GEOMETRICALLY OPTIMISED SELECTIVE LASER SINTERED TITANIUM BODY

When selecting a material for an analogue cartridge body, the optimal material characteristic is a balance between low mass and high stiffness. In this respect, titanium and aluminium offer ideal properties. However, the choice of material is only the starting point; a designer must also consider the geometry of the structure and how the cartridge body will be manufactured.  In the TESSELLATE Ti Cartridge range, Wilson Benesch has utilised the latest selective laser sintering (SLS) manufacturing technology to create a cartridge body unlike anything seen before. Selective Laser Sintering is an additive manufacturing (AM) technology that uses high-power lasers to sinter powdered titanium alloy, forming a complex three-dimensional component layer by layer.  The image below shows  a scanning electron micrograph of a Starling’s skull bone tissue, it can be used to demonstrate the biomimetic principles of topology optimisation in the tessellated structures of the cartridge body shown next to it. The internal bone structure has evolved to optimise support and strength while maintaining minimal weight. [Photo credit: Steve Geschmeissner / Science Photo Library]. Link. The same principles have been applied during the design of the TESSELLATE Ti Cartridge body and made possible through use of State-of-the-Art manufacturing technology. Wilson Benesch partnered with Renishaw PLC, a specialist and leader in SLS AM technology, during the development of the TESSELLATE Ti Cartridges and the GRAVITON Ti Armwand. The result is a highly optimised cartridge body with a tessellated, semi-open architecture.  Wilson Benesch has achieved unprecedented levels of stiffness, low mass, and energy damping within the TESSELLATE Ti Cartridges. There is zero material redundancy in the TESSELLATE Ti Cartridge body; nothing is present that does not need to be.

The TESSELLATE Ti Cartridge body features a semi-open architecture, a design informed by extensive research and development undertaken by Wilson Benesch during the creation of its original cartridge line in the 1990s. Over successive years, Wilson Benesch developed four cartridges within this initial range, discovering that the structures directly adjacent to the cantilever played a critical role in the cartridge’s sound quality. This understanding was clearly reflected in the design of the carbon fibre headshell used in the Analogue Cartridge, and later in the Carbon Cartridge. The Carbon Cartridge featured a larger opening where the cantilever protruded, and Wilson Benesch eliminated all flat surfaces in the headshell geometry around the cantilever, opting instead for curved surfaces. These curves reduced reflected energy from the cantilever during use, thereby minimising microphonic effects. This research directly informed the development of the semi-open architecture found in the titanium structures of the TESSELLATE Ti Cartridges. The semi-open, super-stiff titanium architecture of the TESSELLATE Ti Cartridges represents the optimal geometric form and design, incorporating all the lessons learned from previous work. The tessellated titanium structure adds significant stiffness, with curves integrated wherever possible to further enhance the cartridge body’s rigidity. Importantly, this stiffness is complemented by high levels of damping, which prevents the high Q resonances that could otherwise undermine the benefits of such rigidity.

[H2] HYBRID SAPPHIRE x U.D. CARBON CANTILEVER DESIGN

The TESSELLATE Ti Cartridges are the first in the world to introduce a hybridised cantilever design. Since its founding in 1989, Wilson Benesch has pioneered the application of carbon fibre across many products, establishing the brand as a leader in the use of carbon fibre composites in the high-end audio industry by 2024. To fully exploit the unique properties of carbon fibre, it is crucial for designers to understand how to work with the material. For the first time ever, a uni-directional (UD) carbon fibre sleeve has been employed in the TESSELLATE Ti Cartridge cantilever. This innovative technology marries the benefits of advanced cantilever systems with the damping advantages of UD carbon fibre, resulting in improved tracking ability through reduced resonance in the cantilever. The UD carbon fibre adds virtually no additional mass, yet when placed in an offset asymmetrical position in the middle of the cantilever, it provides significant additional stiffness and damping. With this hybrid cantilever technology and a choice of Boron, Sapphire, and Diamond cantilevers, the TESSELLATE Ti Cartridges offer a versatile range that caters to different preferences and system requirements. Whether you prioritise accuracy, transparency, or sonic refinement, there is a cartridge with a hybrid cantilever to meet your needs.

The TESSELLATE Ti Cartridges are available in three finish options.The Matt Titanium finish is exactly as the titanium body has been ‘grown’ in the SLS machine and its surface is textured. The Polished Silver finish is exactly as the name describes and the cartridge body has been polished by hand to create a mirrored finish. The Polished Gold is the most premium finish available. The gold colouring is applied using vapour deposition technology after the cartridge body has been polished by hand.
