The Dr. Feickert Analogue Blackbird Turntable borrowed some design elements from The Woodpecker, though it is a larger deck that also has expanded technical abilities.
By adding new controller software and 2 motors, the Blackbird exhibits less wow and flutter and lower bearing rumble. The Blackbird was made for vinyl lovers who wish to run two tonearms on one deck. Dr. Feickert may have made the simple upscale, but they managed to maintain the ease of use!
Feickert's mission was to enhance the technical base of the Woodpecker to increase sound quality. Running two tonearms was a requirement but they also implemented some new ideas on the drive. Newly refined controller software drives two motors simultaneously in a kind of master-slave configuration.
Putting the two motors in a 180° position around the bearing cancels out all reactive forces that could cause gyration of the platter. This motor placement achieves better randomization of wow & flutter and lowers bearing rumble at the same time. The Blackbird sounds cleaner with less warble and low-end mud.
