DESCRIPTION

The music hall mmf-11.1 turntable, our latest flagship, is a 2-speed belt-driven audiophile turntable, featuring the unique quadruple-plinth construction originated by music hall.

The distinctive design isolates the critical sound reproducing components, each on their own plinth. The tonearm is mounted to the upper plinth and the inverted ceramic main bearing is mounted to the second plinth allowing the partially sunken 1 1/2″ acrylic platter to spin freely.

Moving the main bearing to the second plinth improved cartridge tracking and significantly lowered background noise. The adjustable magnetic-levitation isolation feet, microprocessor speed control, motors, flywheel, and wiring are all mounted to the bottom plinth. The motors, flywheel, and speed control are further isolated on their own vibration damped dual-plinth platform, which is separately isolated from the upper three main plinths.

Sorbothane hemispheres separate each of the three main plinths and provide additional vibration damping. The bottom plinth functions as a mass-loaded resonant sink for the entire turntable. Two motors and a flywheel are used to increase torque and speed stability.

NOTE:- Cartridge not included.

KEY FEATURES

INCLUDED ACCESSORIES

• thick acrylic platter
• removable acrylic dustcover
• high quality, gold RCA connectors with detachable phono cable

Manual turntable with T-shaped plinth. Excludes cartridge.

The base of the MT-1602 Magnetic turntable is made from stainless steel square profiles. Applied design minimized the impact of vibrations from the environment. The T-shaped base has three adjustable feet to easily level the turntable.

The tonearm is made from stainless steel and brass (polished to a high gloss). The bearing arm is suspended in a magnetic field, providing maximum isolation from the rest of the turntable and eliminating any friction elements. The inertia of this arm is very large.

Centripetal force in such arms is overcome by adjusting the weight. The mechanism has been designed to precisely adjust the strength to overcomes skating. By appropriate adjustment we get variable strength at the beginning and the end of the plate, allowing the needle to run freely and without distortion at any position on the disc. The insert is also isolated from the tonearm with a special holder. This holder is made from two rings connected together with a rubber spring element.

DESCRIPTION

Manual turntable with tangenital air bearing tonearm. Excludes cartridge.

A very low air pressure (0.030MPa) is needed for this turntable to work properly. The pressure is easily produced by a silent compressor, which is an inseparable part of the turntable.

The way the arm is operated on the air cushion is quite simple. Thanks to the pressure from the compressor, the arm bearing is able to detach and levitate in the air along the guide. The pressure to the bearing is provided by a thin silicone hose.

Precise execution of the arm elements and reduction of losses allowed for the use of very low air pressure which reduced the compressor’s noise to absolutely zero.

The arm has a tilting system for easier handling and changing the plate. Thanks to the large calibration option, the arm can support most of the MM / MC cartridges available on the market.

Motor:

A silent DC motor (12V) was used to drive the disc. The motor next to the acrylic plate realizes the drive with two thin silicone straps.

The plate bearing consists of a sleeve made of bronze and a high-gloss polished axis. The whole plate is based on two balls immersed in an oil bath. The bearing is made with high precision so that an oil film is created between the two friction elements.

The turntable can play discs recorded at 33 and 45 r.p.m. The control panel located on the side of the turntable serves the purpose of changing the speed as well as correcting the rotation of the disc. As a standard, a high-quality power supply unit located in the compressor is attached to the turntable. This allowed the compressor to be controlled from the desktop on the turntable.

Manual turntable with granite plinth, and high-quality acrylic tangenital tonearm. Excludes cartridge.

The heart of this model is the tonearm. The arm is made from acrylic and has a full range of adjustment. This allows you to adjust the arm to the majority of cartridges available on the market. The construction of the truck-arm consists of two balanced high-precision ball bearings. The special design minimises any effects from the guide bearings, thus increasing smoothness. Thanks to special components, the arm mechanism does not introduce noise, and positively affects the quality of reading vinyl. The turntable drive is a high-quality synchronous motor. The torque is transmitted via a belt to a sub-platter, on which rests an acrylic platter with six damping weights. The turntable stands on four adjustable aluminium legs for precise leveling. The Granite plinth uses an attractive material to provide mass, for further isolation.
