SonoruS ATR10 mkII
The new ATR10 mkII (2023)
- Although at its core still based on proven Studer motors and heads, all electronics and many mechanical parts have been redesigned to meet and exceed any modern day high-end and audiophile expectations. Regulated tape tension and strategically placed rolling tape guides provide the same stable tape transport as professional studio tape machines.

- Vacuum tube playback electronics utilizing our unique, newly developed DC Coupled Stabilized Loop Gain Technology delivers a remarkable combination of dynamic bass impact, normally only associated with solid state systems, with the mid-range clarity, transparency and sense of realism of vacuum tube systems.
A view inside the ATR10 mkII
- The ATR10 mkII sporting two carbon fiber reels from RX Reels in cobalt blue. These reels are very flat and sturdy and are dynamically balanced during manufacturing resulting in a very quiet and smooth winding performance.
- Playback board of the ATR10 mkII, including the newly developed 'DC Coupled Stabilized Loop Gain Technology', a technology that conserves the mid-range clarity, transparency and the natural sound characteristics of well designed tube circuitry while delivering a dynamic bass impact from tubes, normally only associated with well designed solid state circuitry.
- This board also includes our 'head-wear compensation' circuitry, which keeps the playback performance stable over the lifetime of the head.
