At the S427 Richcoln exhibition room during the 2026 Hong Kong Audio Show, we invited Mr. Kerry, the International Marketing Manager of the legendary British brand SME, to share the brand’s illustrious 80-year history. This year’s focus is the brand-new near-flagship SME Model 35 turntable. Succeeding the Model 30—which enjoyed a remarkable 30-year production run—the Model 35 adopts a concealed suspended sub-chassis, DSP speed control, a heavier platter, and the brand-new Series VII tonearm. By thoroughly isolating internal and external vibrations, it allows users to hear musical details they have never discovered before. Kerry also revealed that the Model 35 is a turntable truly built to be passed down as a legacy.

Whether you are a seasoned vinyl enthusiast or a newcomer just stepping into the analog world, this interview will give you a deeper understanding of SME’s craftsmanship philosophy.
