MT10

Precision Turntable

The McIntosh MT-10 marries classic McIntosh glass front panel cosmetics with serious mechanics to create a unique, ready-to-play LP solution. With tracking force, anti-skate and cartridge position preset at the factory the McIntosh MT-10 delivers high performance LP playback with minimal set up.

The turntable base is comprised of a damped sandwich of stainless steel and acrylic plate; a unique combination of dissimilar materials that provides a resonance-free foundation for the tonearm. A massive, 12 pound, 2 ½” thick acrylic platter spins on a cushion of air, elevated by a custom magnetic bearing.

A regulated power supply drives a super-quiet, brushless, Swiss DC motor. Unmatched accuracy is derived from a new electronic speed control that references 1,595 strobe markings per revolution of the platter. Speed adjustments of 33⅓, 45, or 78 RPM are made from the front panel and are registered on a blue, backlit McIntosh meter.

A custom tonearm features a rigid, dural-aluminium arm-tube gimbaled in two sapphire (horizontal) and two ceramic (vertical) bearings for the least possible friction. A .5 mV moving coil cartridge is included, and features an ebony body with an elliptical stylus.
