Exposure 360 Series

The Exposure 360 is a belt-drive audiophile turntable created for music lovers seeking a beautifully engineered, minimalist record player. The 360 turntable distils decades of analogue experience into a focused, vinyl-only source that feels purpose-built for the dedicated audiophile.

A vinyl solution from a company that lives with music

For fifty years, Exposure has specialised in amplification for vinyl, and the 360 turntable completes that story as the company’s own analogue front end in its A to Z vinyl solution. The Exposure 360 is designed to complement the brand’s electronics aesthetically and musically, offering a solid platform from which your records can breathe.

Lightweight laminate plinth, engineered for quiet

Instead of a heavy, monolithic chassis, the Exposure 360 turntable uses a super-lightweight laminate plinth with a polyurethane foam core. This construction is deliberately chosen to drain energy away from the record, reducing stored vibration and improving timing. Santoprene isolation feet, reinforced with aluminium, decouple the deck from the rack and help keep external disturbances at bay.

The main bearing centres on an ultra-low friction brass hub anchored to the plinth via a machined aluminium collar. Working as a rigid spine for the turntable, this assembly allows the platter and sub-platter to spin freely and consistently, supporting both subtle microdynamics and low-frequency authority.

Glass platter, aluminium sub-platter and speed stability

Beneath the record you’ll find a dual-layer float glass platter, chosen for its mass and rigidity. The additional mass increases the flywheel effect, smoothing rotation and helping the Exposure 360 behave like a true reference hi-fi turntable in systems where pitch stability and sustained notes really matter.

The platter sits on a single-piece machined aluminium sub-platter that forms part of the bearing assembly. Compared with plastic types, this approach improves speed stability and longevity, letting the 360 turntable deliver a more confident, locked-in presentation of rhythm and melody over time.

24V motor and external, tuned power supply

Drive duties are handled by a 24V synchronous motor, coupled to the platter via an aluminium pulley and belt. A dedicated external power supply unit includes a precision speed controller and is individually matched and tuned to the motor supplied with each Exposure 360. This ensures the belt-drive system runs with consistent torque and pitch accuracy.

Housing the electronics in a separate enclosure significantly reduces the chance of electrical noise reaching the deck and keeps delicate low-level musical information away from interference. The power supply offers convenient push-button selection between 33.3 and 45 RPM, together with fine speed adjustment for those who like to dial things in exactly.

Precision tonearm and cartridge flexibility

The Exposure 360 is supplied with a high quality precision tonearm whose mounting is braced back to the bearing housing for better energy control. This mechanically coherent link between arm and bearing helps the cartridge track the groove with composure, revealing texture and space rather than highlighting surface noise.

The deck is suitable for MM, MC and other standard cartridges (cartridge not supplied), so you can specify a voice that matches your wider system and musical taste. Whether you’re choosing a first serious cartridge or upgrading in stages over time, the Exposure 360 turntable gives you a stable, revealing platform that will respond clearly to each step you make.

Compatibility, pairing and system context

Because the Exposure 360 is compatible with both moving-magnet and moving-coil designs, it can partner everything from elegant entry-level cartridges to more ambitious transducers without becoming the limiting factor. This makes it a versatile choice whether you’re building a first audiophile turntable system or slotting the 360 into an established high-end chain.

The obvious partner for the 360 turntable is Exposure amplification and a quality phono stage, reflecting the brand’s long heritage in vinyl replay. From there, match with revealing passive loudspeakers and well-chosen cabling to let the deck’s timing, stability and tonal balance shine through.

Setup and placement tips

For best performance, place the Exposure 360 on a rigid, level surface away from strong vibration and low-frequency energy from loudspeakers. Ensure the shelf is truly flat, then fit and balance your chosen cartridge according to the tonearm and cartridge manufacturer’s instructions. Use the external PSU’s push-button speed controls to confirm accurate 33.3 and 45 RPM operation before any serious listening.

Keep the smoked dust cover in place when the turntable is idle to protect the glass platter and mat, and consider playing with the cover raised or removed during listening sessions if room acoustics and environment allow. Routine checks of tracking force and alignment will help the Exposure 360 continue to perform as a stable audiophile record player over years of use.

About Expousre

Exposure has been perfecting what it calls “real hi-fi for real music lovers” since 1974, designing and building British audio components that put musical involvement above showmanship. From early integrated amplifiers to today’s carefully curated ranges, the company has focused on honest engineering, robust build and long-term serviceability rather than fashion-led features.

The Exposure 360 turntable extends this philosophy upstream, providing a dedicated analogue source to complement the brand’s celebrated phono stages and amplifiers. Lightweight, rigid construction, tuned power supplies and fuss-free ergonomics reflect a design culture rooted in listening rather than spec-sheet theatre.
