Quantum mechanics sets a limit on the precision of the continuous measurement of an oscillator's position. However, with an adequate coupling configuration of two oscillators, it is possible to build an oscillator-like subsystem of quadratures isolated from quantum and classical backaction which therefore does not suffer from this limit. We realize such a quantum mechanics-free subsystem using two micromechanical drumheads coupled to microwave cavities. Multitone phase-stable microwave pumping of the system allows to implement the necessary effective coupling configuration. We first demonstrate the measurement of two collective quadratures, evading backaction simultaneously on both of them, obtaining a total noise within a factor of 2 of the full quantum limit. Secondly, this measurement technique is directly adapted to the detection of continuous variable entanglement which is based, according to the Duan criterion, on variance estimates of two collective quadratures. We therefore verify the stabilized quantum entanglement of the two oscillators deeper than had been possible before for macroscopic mechanical oscillators.
