Does this turntable include a built-in phono preamp?

No, this turntable does not have a built-in phono preamp. You will need an external phono preamp or an amplifier with a phono input to connect it properly.

What playback speeds are supported?

It supports two playback speeds: 33 1/3 RPM and 45 RPM, allowing you to play most standard vinyl records.

What type of cartridge is included?

The turntable comes with a Sumiko Moonstone moving magnet phono cartridge featuring an elliptical diamond stylus. This cartridge is designed for low moving mass and output to provide rich, clear, and detailed sound quality.

How does the turntable manage vibration and noise?

The turntable features a dynamically balanced polyoxymethylene (POM) outer platter that is over 1 inch thick, helping to absorb external vibrations. Its motor is decoupled from the chassis to isolate records from mechanical interference. The tonearm uses precision sapphire and ceramic bearings with damping fluid to minimize noise from movement.

What materials are used in the tonearm construction?

The tonearm is made of lightweight yet rigid dural-aluminum with special damping materials. It utilizes sapphire and ceramic bearings for smooth, noise-free operation and includes adjustments for vertical tracking angle, antiskate, and azimuth to optimize playback.

McIntosh MT2 Black Precision Turntable

The McIntosh MT2 Precision Turntable combines the latest in turntable technology and design to deliver both superb performance and accurate playback. The MT2 is a great way to upgrade your home audio system to play vinyl albums. A full complement of features allows for all recordings to be reproduced with flawless realism. Its advanced electronic and mechanical design will give you many years of smooth, trouble-free operation. A subtle green glow emanates from under the platter and the outside edges of the plinth for a touch of refined ambiance.

The MT2 plays both 33-1/3 and 45 rpm records. It’s virtually ready to use out of the box with just a few setup steps to complete and then you’ll be enjoying your vinyl in no time.

The MT2 comes with a Sumiko Moonstone cartridge, a next-gen moving magnet phono pickup. The Moonstone phono cartridge is dressed to impress. It has low moving-mass and output, and is topped off with their listen-tested 0.3 x 0.7 mil elliptical diamond. Moonstone transcribes sonic imagery with weight, richness, depth, and keenly realistic texture. The sonic image is suspended and well-controlled over a nearly-absent noise floor, providing fantastic clarity without etch nor confusion.

The tonearm is constructed from dural-aluminum with special damping materials and is light weight yet highly rigid. The noise free vertical bearings feature two precision ceramic surfaces with damping fluid; the horizontal bearing is a gimballed sapphire design.

The belt driven, solid black outer platter is made from a special dynamically balanced polyoxymethylene (POM) and is over 1” thick. This heftiness helps to both resist and absorb external vibrations that can cause noise during playback; its large mass also provides the perfect flywheel action for stable playback speed. The inner platter is made of CNC-precision milled aluminum. The platters rotate on a polished and tempered steel shaft in a sintered bronze bushing.

The DC motor is driven by an external voltage-stabilized power supply and is completely decoupled from the chassis, isolating your records from any mechanical interference. Its sturdy plinth has a resonance optimized and highly compressed wood base with black lacquer finish, while the top and middle acrylic plates help absorb unwanted vibrations.

A clear, contoured dust cover is included. The MT2 turntable is compatible with a variety of McIntosh phono preamplifiers, stereo preamplifiers, integrated amplifiers and home theater processors with phono inputs; virtually any of our amplifiers and speakers can be used to complete your audio system.
