Magnat MTT 990 Turntable Audiophile Direct-drive Record Player in Black

Audiophile Direct-Drive Record Player incl. cartridge

The Magnat MTT 990 is the first record player in Magnat´s company history. It was created with all our knowledge gathered from 45 years of hi-fi development and the expertise of proven analogue specialists. And because our standards are so high, the first Magnat record players just had to have a direct-drive system.

The goal was to combine the reliability of studio and DJ turntables with audiophile acoustic characteristics.

Key Features

  • Equipped for all pickups
    The tonearm is height adjustable in a few simple steps. This means you can set it perfectly for any pickup on the international market or also experiment with different mat heights.
  • One button for all events
    The drive is extremely easy to operate: All three speeds and Start/Stop are set on the MTT 990’s large rotary knob.
  • Cartridge with best references
    An Audio Technica AT 95E is pre-installed perfectly before leaving the factory. This MM system is one of the best-selling and most frequently tested worldwide. It sounds very natural and harmonises with the vast majority of all phono preamps on the market
  • No chance of vibrations
    The feet supporting the MTT 990 are particularly important. Their special design prevents vibrations from the supporting surface from affecting the scanning.
