Encel S Turntable with Ortofon 2M Red Cartridge

Encel S Turntable with Ortofon 2M Red Moving Magnet Cartridge

The turntable has been at the heart of home audio since the first Encel store opened in Richmond in 1958, evolving through the years from the basic mechanical contraptions of early gramophones to today’s finely tuned instruments of precision analogue audio. Now, in an era dominated by digital, the Encel S brings back the warmth, depth, and tactile joy of vinyl.

Designed for Vinyl Devotion

The Encel S is built for anyone who loves the magic of music. Its 8.6" S-shaped aluminium tonearm tracks records with precision, and is equipped with a detachable headshell. This makes swapping and upgrading cartridges a breeze, so you can experiment with different sounds and make upgrades with a quick twist of the collar. In the box you’ll find an Ortofon 2M Red moving magnet cartridge to get you started — pre-fitted to a headshell and factory-aligned.

From 33 to 45 RPM, speed changes are handled electronically with a simple rocker switch, letting you move effortlessly between your favourite albums and EPs. A heavy steel platter and TPE motor suspension ensure absolute stability, while magnetic anti-skating and a precision drive belt keep your LPs playing smoothly.

Thoughtful Design, Built by Hand

Every Encel S is built by hand, using quality materials chosen to last a lifetime. It includes a built-in switchable phono preamp for easy integration into any audio system — meaning a separate phono preamp isn’t needed, but can be used if you so choose.

A high quality phono cable with gold-plated RCA connectors and a turntable dust cover are included as standard, rounding out a package designed for serious listening and everyday ease.

Our Review

The Encel S Turntable with Ortofon 2M Red Cartridge is a beautiful blend of classic craftsmanship and modern convenience, built for those who find something magical in the ritual of vinyl. Hand-built with care, it brings a tangible warmth and depth that digital can’t quite replicate, while the 8.6" S-shaped aluminium tonearm and factory-fitted Ortofon 2M Red cartridge ensure your records sing with precision and clarity. Swapping cartridges is effortless thanks to the detachable headshell, giving you the freedom to experiment with your sound as your collection grows. Electronic speed control lets you glide between 33 and 45 RPM at the flick of a switch, while the heavy steel platter and TPE motor suspension keep everything steady and smooth. Add to that a built-in switchable phono preamp, gold-plated RCA cables, and a protective dust cover, and you’ve got a turntable that feels as good to use as it sounds to hear — a true nod to Encel’s enduring devotion to vinyl.
