Fifty years to get round to it.

Fifty Years of Vinyl Amplification. One Full Rotation.

Since 1974, Britain's Exposure Electronics has built the amplifiers and phono stages that made vinyl sing — and for fifty years, customers kept asking the obvious question: when's the turntable? The Exposure 360 is the answer, and the name is a wink — an LP spins 360 degrees, and with it, Exposure comes full circle: a complete A-to-Z vinyl solution from stylus to speaker terminals. Developed with the brand's signature engineering-first, no-gimmicks philosophy, the 360 is a precision belt-drive deck that does what Exposure gear has always done: gets out of the way and lets the music through.

Engineering Where It Counts

The 360's plinth borrows from aerospace thinking: a polyurethane foam core sandwiched in thin, rigid high-pressure laminate — extremely light, extremely stiff, and inherently resistant to storing vibration, the enemy of every record player. Underneath, Santoprene rubber feet reinforced with aluminium isolate the deck from its surroundings.

The rotating heart is where budget decks usually cheat and the 360 doesn't: an ultra-low-friction brass bearing hub anchored to the plinth by a machined aluminium collar, driving a sub-platter machined from a single piece of aluminium — not the moulded plastic found on most decks at this level. Above it sits a dual-layer float glass platter whose mass adds a genuine flywheel effect for rock-steady speed. Drive comes from a 24 V motor with a machined aluminium pulley, controlled by the 360's secret weapon: an external power supply with precision speed control, individually matched and tuned to each turntable's motor at the factory. Push-button switching between 33⅓ and 45 RPM means no belt-flipping — and housing the power supply in a separate box keeps motor noise and interference away from the delicate low-level signals in your cartridge.

The precision tonearm is mounted with its base braced directly to the bearing housing for maximum rigidity, with a low-mass cast tapered aluminium armtube engineered for excellent resonance damping. It accepts moving magnet or moving coil cartridges — and note what Exposure didn't do: bundle a cheap throwaway cartridge to pad the box. You choose the cartridge your system deserves.

Classic Exposure, Visually and Sonically

The 360 wears Exposure's familiar minimalist style — clean black livery with a red felt mat and a smoked dust cover — and is a natural visual and sonic partner for Exposure's amplifiers, whose built-in and outboard phono stages were voiced by the same ears. If you own an Exposure integrated, this is the deck the brand built to sit on top of it.

Why You'll Love the Exposure 360

• Exposure's first-ever turntable — 50 years of analog amplification expertise, finally spinning vinyl
• Aerospace-inspired plinth — foam-core laminate construction that's light, rigid, and resonance-resistant
• Machined aluminium sub-platter — single-piece bearing assembly where rivals use plastic
• Dual-layer glass platter — added mass and flywheel effect for superior speed stability
• Matched external power supply — individually tuned to each deck's motor; push-button 33⅓/45 RPM
• Serious tonearm — braced to the bearing housing, tapered cast aluminium armtube, MM and MC ready
• No throwaway cartridge — pick the cartridge that matches your system and budget
• Designed in Britain — with dust cover included and a 3-year warranty

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the Exposure 360 come with a cartridge?

No — deliberately. Rather than bundling a budget cartridge that undersells the deck, Exposure leaves the choice to you. The tonearm accepts both moving magnet and moving coil designs; ask us or your dealer for pairing recommendations at your budget.

Why does the Exposure 360 use an external power supply?

Two reasons: it keeps electrical noise from the mains and motor circuitry physically away from the delicate signal path, and it houses a precision speed controller — individually matched and tuned to each turntable's motor — with push-button switching between 33⅓ and 45 RPM. No lifting the platter to move a belt.

What amplifier or phono stage pairs with the Exposure 360?

Any quality phono input works, but the natural partners are Exposure's own integrated amplifiers with optional MM/MC phono boards — the electronics this deck was designed to complement. The result is a single-brand vinyl system voiced from end to end.

Is the Exposure 360 a good turntable for upgrading from an entry-level deck?

That's its sweet spot. The machined aluminium sub-platter, glass platter, matched external PSU, and braced tonearm address exactly the areas where entry-level turntables compromise — speed stability, resonance, and noise.
