MT-5 is a
complete turntable package that is more than the sum of its parts. Engineered
to exacting McIntosh standards, each piece contributes to its superb
performance.
Advanced
Technology Turntable
The MT-5
combines the latest technology in Phono Cartridges, Tone Arms, Mechanical
Suspensions andRecord Platter Rotation for superb performance andaccurate
operation.
Tone Arm
The MT-5
Tone Arm is made from Dural-Aluminumwith special damping material. The Tone Arm
isboth light in weight and highly rigid. The noise freeVertical Bearings are
made from two high precisionceramic surfaces. The Tone Arms lateral movement
isperformed by a high precision Horizontal Bearing. Italso incorporates
adjustable magnetic Anti-Skating.
Turntable
Platters
The full
size Outer Platter is made from a special silicone acrylic material weights
five pounds, one and one-half inch thick. This helps to resist external
vibrations from reaching the record during playback and its large mass provides
the perfect flywheel action for stable playback speed. The inner platter is
precision machined Anodized Aluminum weights one and one-half pounds and is six
and one quarter inches in diameter.
Precision
Motor and Drive Electronics
The Swiss
made DC Motor has stainless steel brushes and is controlled by a highly refined
servo control system assuring very accurate speed rotation.
Three
Playback Speeds with fine Adjustments
The three
playback speeds include 33 rpm, 45 rpm and 78 rpm. There is a separate trim
adjustment allowing for accurate music reproduction for each of the three
speeds.
Magnetic Air
Dampened Bearing
The MT-5
Turntable Platter rotates on a ceramic bearing using magnetic suspension
together with a cushion of air to provide vibration free rotation.
Multi-Layered
Dampened Chassis
The MT-5
Turntable Chassis has a Stainless Steel base, with a thick Aluminum base plate
and Acrylic top plate. The internal dampening material also helps to assure the
only sound heard is from the record groove itself.
Power
Control
The Power
Control Input connection provides convenient Turn-On/Off of the MT-5
Illumination when connected to a McIntosh System with Power Control.
Fiber Optic
Solid State Illumination
The even
Illumination of the Front Panel and the Turntable Platter is accomplished by
the combination of custom designed Fiber Optic Light Diffusers and extra long
life Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs).

Panel and Super Mirror Chassis Finish
The famous
McIntosh Illuminated Glass Front Panel and the Stainless Steel Chassis with
Super Mirror Finish ensures the pristine beauty of the MT-5 will be retained
for many years.
Features:
■ MT-5 is factory adjusted for perfect playback. Tracking force, anti-skate force,
cartridge overhang and arm height are all preset for maximum performance.
■ While the
construction of the MT5 is
meticulous, the setup is simple. In a few easy steps, you’ll be ready to enjoy
your favorite vinyl recordings.
■ While maintaining
complementary McIntosh
styling, the MT-5 takes full advantage of the chassis materials used to
suppress noise, resonance and coloration so the only sound produced is that
which is on your records.
■ Includes a clear,
form-fitting dust cover to
protect moving parts and your records.
