Warsaw · Named for Chopin
The motor is the drive. Nothing in between.
A coreless direct-drive motor and a 720-point optical encoder correct the Fryderyk's platter speed in real time, holding wow and flutter below 0.09%.

Under the Platter
What holds the groove
Held there by dual Hall-effect sensors and a 720-point optical encoder correcting motor speed in real time.
Read once per platter revolution and fed back into the NB1 motor's digital speed-control loop.
A dense polyethylene platter with felt mat adds inertia and damps resonance between stylus and bearing.

About the Unitra GSH-630 Fryderyk Direct Drive Turntable
Polish Precision, Reborn — The Fryderyk Direct Drive Turntable
The Unitra GSH-630 Fryderyk Direct Drive Turntable is a benchmark for what a modern European turntable can be. Built around Unitra's own NB1 air-core brushless direct-drive motor and digital speed controller, it spins with the quiet authority of a much costlier deck — and arrives ready to play, fitted with an Ortofon 2M Bronze cartridge on the aluminium Unitra R10 tonearm. Milled veneered MDF, a brushed aluminium panel and an HDPE platter make it as beautiful to look at as it is to listen to.
Direct Drive, Done Right
At the heart of the Fryderyk sits the Unitra NB1 direct-drive system: an air-core brushless DC motor governed by a digital controller that holds pitch with rock-steady stability. Wow and flutter measures below 0.09%, so pianos stay in tune and sustained notes never waver. There's no belt to stretch or replace, and no idler to wear — just direct, immediate torque that locks to speed instantly.
Tonearm and Cartridge Ready to Sing
The aluminium Unitra R10 tonearm rides on two pairs of bearings mounted on tapered pivots for low friction and precise tracking, and it comes pre-fitted with the respected Ortofon 2M Bronze moving-magnet cartridge. Out of the box, the Fryderyk is a complete, high-performance analogue front end — unbox it, set it on your rack, connect the RCA outputs and drop the needle.
Why You'll Love the GSH-630 Fryderyk
- Unitra NB1 air-core brushless direct-drive motor with digital speed control
- Excellent speed stability — wow & flutter below 0.09%
- Aluminium Unitra R10 tonearm on twin tapered-pivot bearings
- Ortofon 2M Bronze cartridge included — ready to play
- Milled veneered MDF, brushed aluminium and HDPE platter construction
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Fryderyk come with a cartridge?
Yes. It ships pre-fitted with an Ortofon 2M Bronze moving-magnet cartridge on the aluminium Unitra R10 tonearm, so it's ready to play out of the box.
Is it belt-drive or direct-drive?
Direct-drive. The Unitra NB1 air-core brushless DC motor couples directly to the platter under digital speed control, delivering instant torque, stable pitch and no belt to replace.
What speeds does it play?
33⅓ and 45 RPM, both digitally controlled for consistent accuracy.
