Experience unparalleled vinyl music playback with the Fluance Reference High Fidelity Turntable. Meticulously engineered from the ground up with the strictest standards, specifically for the discerning vinyl listener to reproduce audio recordings exactly as the musician intended.
RT84 Reference High Fidelity Vinyl Turntable
The Reference turntable continues our mission to deliver a warm, uncompressed listening experience that commands your attention, allowing you to get lost in the music.
Pure Analog Performance
The mass-loaded multi-layered MDF wood chassis inhibits the transfer of unwanted resonance through the system. The 3 rubber, spike-type height-adjustable isolation feet minimize surface contact under the turntable resulting in immunity to environmental vibrations, allowing for greater low frequency signal pickup and improved imaging.
Wood Plinth For Superior Resistance to Vibrations
The precision servo-controlled belt drive motor with speed regulating optical sensor, continuously measures and adjusts variances in linear velocity and acceleration within a few hundredths of a percent at a wow and flutter of 0.07%. The decoupling of the drive from the plinth supresses motor vibrations and noise from reaching the stylus. This maintains accurate speed and significantly reduces rumble so your records sound perfect at every play.
Precision Playback with Motor Isolation and Speed Control
Spectacular musical accuracy from the diamond tipped elliptical 2M Blue cartridge that provides an increased output of 5.5mV. Ortofon’s moving magnet cartridge features a flat frequency response for a pure sound without any colouration.

The RT84 underwent a slight component change since initial launch. The cartridge has been upgraded from the Ortofon 2M Red to the Ortofon 2M Blue. The acrylic platter has also been replaced with the aluminum platter. Pricing remains the same.
Take a comprehensive look at the set up, function, and maintenance of your product. The product manual details all of its specifications and how to care for your product.
If you intend to use your Reference series turntable with powered bookshelf speakers, such as our Ai41 model, a preamp will be required.
The preamp will boost the signal to line level (similar to a headphone jack) so you can play it on speakers with RCA or AUX inputs.
If you have a home theater or stereo receiver/amplifier, you will need a preamp if the amplifier does not have a PHONO input. If you have a PHONO input, you may have a preamp already built in. Be sure to refer to the manufacturer’s specifications or manual for confirmation!
Why does this model not include a preamp?
This design choice was made with a number of factors in mind. The main reason was to separate electronics from the turntable’s signal path to maintain the purity of the analog signal. Many listeners also like to customize their listening experience and choose specific components such as preamps based on unique sonic qualities.
Using separate components also allows for optimization of cartridge and phono stage compatibility. If you upgrade your cartridge in the future, you can pair it with an optimal phono preamp to maximize performance and achieve the sound profile you desire.
What does a servo motor do?
We want our users to experience music the way it was meant to be heard and have pulled out all the stops for the new Reference series.
These new turntables include a servo belt drive motor.
What does this mean for you?
It means that you have a sensor checking and adjusting the speed of the motor up to 500 times a second to make sure the speed of your turntable is consistent with no manual adjustments, bringing wow and flutter under 0.07%!
What are the benefits of the Reference series turntables?
What's new!
What does it mean?
The motor is located away from the platter
Allows the use of an acrylic platter, reduced rumble at the stylus.
90pF RCA cables
Upgraded RCA cables with higher capacitance to protect and maintain the purest signal path.
No internal preamp
Provides a clean signal, with no electronics in the path for increased audio quality.
Spring loaded adjustable feet with built-in isolation
Allows the turntable to be leveled on any surface, bubble level included.
Spike-shaped feet prevent outside vibrations from affecting audio quality.
Servo controlled motor
Improves speed consistency and reduces wow and flutter by checking the speed up to 500 times per second!
Ortofon Stylus
All Reference turntables are compatible with Ortofon OM10, Blue, and Red Cartridges.
102g adjustable counterweight
Heavier counterweight to accommodate the Ortofon stylus.
More diverse upgrade options.
Compatible with an acrylic platter
Heavier, denser material reduces resonance and improves speed consistency.
Customizable
All Reference turntable components are compatible with each other giving you a clear upgrade path! Only RT85N is compatible with Nagaoka MP110 due to differences in the vertical tracking angle.
Which cartridges can I use on my turntable?
Reference turntables are compatible and shipped with moving magnet cartridges such as the Ortofon OM10, 2M Red, and 2M Blue, giving you the ability to customize your system for top-tier performance.
Cartridges must be between 3.5 to 7.5 grams to be set correctly. Due to a different vertical tracking angle, the Nagaoka MP110 is compatible with the RT85N only.
Do I need an amplifier for this turntable?
An amplifier is only needed if you’re connecting the turntable to passive speakers such as the Signature Series Bookshelf Surround Speakers.
If you’re looking for an option without a separate amplifier, the Ai41 Powered Bookshelf speakers fit the bill.
With the Ai41, all you need to do is connect the included RCA cables to your preamp, then to the speakers, and you’re ready to listen to the music the way it was meant to be heard.
Can I buy the turntable without a cartridge?
All Fluance Reference turntables are sold with an Ortofon cartridge included.
We do know that our users love to customize their turntables, and there are many options out there, so we designed our Reference series to have extensive upgrade potential!
