Isostase

A motor system built for precision

Isostase is the system developed by Olydyne for high-end turntables: a controller and its dedicated motor power supply. Real-time speed regulation, automatic motor balancing, and component wear tracking: every function serves one goal, stable and precise playback, revolution after revolution.

Isostase is currently developed and tested exclusively for Transrotor turntables.

Motor power supply

A power supply built for precision

Isostase's power supply block is designed specifically to drive one or two Transrotor turntable motors with precision and stability, for long-term reliability.

Designed as an alternative to the original power supply on high-end Transrotor turntables, it adds regulation, optimization, and diagnostic functions not found on standard power supplies.

  • 230V mains supply (110V/230V planned)
  • 2×18V AC RMS outputs per motor, up to 2 motors
  • Progressive start and stop of the motor(s)
  • Automatic phase optimization and inter-motor phase alignment
  • Current sensing and platter/motor wear tracking
  • Real-time speed regulation via optical sensor
  • Phono cartridge management
  • Showroom demo mode

Features

What Isostase does

Real-time regulation

An optical sensor measures rotation on every platter revolution and corrects speed continuously, for constant pitch stability.

Automatic balancing

Automatically adjusts the drive level between motors (power balance), validated with a stability measurement to confirm the change actually helps.

Phase optimization

Automatically finds and aligns the electrical timing between motors (angular synchronization), for the smoothest possible rotation on dual-motor setups.

Wear tracking

Stylus and platter wear tracking, with management of multiple phono cartridges in memory.

Thermal protection

Multi-sensor monitoring (processor, power supply heatsinks) with progressive power reduction under heat, protecting the power electronics.

Cleaning & silent modes

A dedicated cycle for record cleaning, and a reduced-amplitude playback mode for quieter operation.

Multilingual color display

Clear graphical interface, available in French, English, German, Spanish, Portuguese, and Italian.

Built-in safety

Hardware and software watchdog monitoring for reliable long-term operation.

SD card data logging

Continuous logging of key parameters (temperatures, currents, speed, voltages) and usage statistics (run hours, protection events) on the built-in SD card.

FFT vibration analysis

Harmonic distortion and motor vibration signature tests, with results archived for long-term trend tracking.

Decision traceability

Every automatic decision made by the system (thresholds, triggers, outcomes) is logged for transparent diagnostics.

Programmable auto-stop

The turntable stops itself after an adjustable duration, with speed-specific limits to protect the record and the motor.

Native 78 RPM mode

Switching to 78 RPM is handled electronically, with no need to move the belt to a different pulley step.

Live Wow & Flutter indication

A real-time estimate of speed stability, shown directly on the controller — a useful diagnostic indicator, not intended to replace a professionally calibrated measurement instrument.

Quartz frequency reference

Speed accuracy calibrated against a quartz reference, with automatic detection and correction of long-term drift.

Platter weight adaptation

Acceleration and deceleration ramps automatically adjust to the installed platter's weight, protecting the motor and preventing belt slippage (and its premature wear), regardless of the Transrotor model.

Precise pitch adjustment

Fine speed adjustment, shown as a percentage and in semitones, stored separately for each speed and each user profile.

Automated run-in

A multi-step break-in cycle for new components, with on-screen progress tracking.

Configurable warmup

Runs the motor before listening, adjustable duration — the classic audiophile ritual, automated.

Hi-fi audio DAC motor drive

The motors are driven by genuine high-fidelity audio digital-to-analog converters, for an exceptionally clean drive waveform and less parasitic vibration than a generic motor driver chip.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can Isostase's power supply replace the original power supply on a Transrotor turntable?

Isostase's power supply is designed as an alternative to the original motor power supply on high-end Transrotor turntables, adding regulation, phase optimization, and diagnostic functions not found on a standard power supply.

Is Isostase compatible with all Transrotor turntables?

Isostase, controller and power supply included, is currently developed and tested for single and dual-motor Transrotor turntables. Model-specific compatibility will be detailed as development progresses.

What's the difference between Isostase's power supply and a standard motor power supply?

Isostase combines real-time speed regulation via optical sensor, automatic motor phase optimization, wear tracking, and SD card data logging — functions absent from original or generic power supplies.

Is Isostase affiliated with Transrotor?

No. Isostase is a product developed by Maptuner LDA under the Olydyne brand, compatible with Transrotor turntables, with no affiliation, partnership, or official endorsement from the Transrotor brand.
