Introduction and Performance Features
• Turntable Platters
The full size outer platter is made from a special dy-
namically balanced polyoxymethylene (POM), weighs
5.07 pounds, 1.18 inches thick. This helps to resist and
absorb external vibrations from reaching the record
during playback and its large mass provides the perfect
ywheel action for stable playback speed. The inner
platter is made of CNC-precision milled aluminium,
weighs 0,96 pounds and is six and one quarter inches
in diameter.
• Precision Motor and Drive Electronics
The DC motor is fed by an external voltage-stabilized
power supply and is completely decoupled from the
chassis, isolating the record from any mechanical
interference.
• Two Playback Speeds with fine Adjustments
The MT2 Turntable has two playback speed, 33 rpm
and 45 rpm. There is a separate trim adjustment al-
lowing for accurate music reproduction for each of the
two speeds.
• Bearing
The MT2 Turntable Platter rotates on a Polished and
Tempered Steel Shaft in a sintered bronze bushing and
is coated with Teflon.
• Multi-Layered Dampened Chassis
The MT2 Turntable Chassis has a resonance opti-
mized and highly compressed wood chassis with black
lacquer. The top and middle plate which is made of
acrylic also absorb vibrations.
• Fiber Optic Solid State Illumination
The even illumination of the top panel and the turn-
table platter is accomplished by the combination of
custom designed ber optic light diffusers and extra
long life light emitting diodes (LEDs).
