What is stereo?




There are now two system of high fidelity, monophonic (monaural) and stereophonic. Monophonic is a system that starts from one microphone and is fed through a single high fidelity set. Stereophonic is a double system. Two separate microphones are placed at different sides of the orchestra and two different systems are used to keep the two signals or channels separated. Two separate speakers are used, placed on different sides of you room. Stereo is much like 3-D photography, two slightly different sound reach your ears giving you a new dimension in sound.

McIntosh MT-2 turntable

The McIntosh MT2 Precision Turntable combines the latest in turntable technology and design to deliver both superb performance and accurate playback.

Its advanced electronic and mechanical design will give you many years of smooth, trouble-free operation.

Virtually ready to use out of the box as tracking force, anti-skate force, cartridge overhang and arm height are all preset from the factory for maximum performance. The remaining setup steps are simple and you’ll be enjoying your vinyl in no time.

Comes with a Sumiko Moonstone cartridge, a next-gen moving magnet phono cartridge that transcribes sonic imagery with weight, richness, depth, and keenly realistic texture.

The DC motor is driven by an external voltage-stabilized power supply and is completely decoupled from the chassis, olating your records from any mechanical interference.

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 subtle green glow emanates from under the platter and the outside edges of the plinth for a touch of refined ambiance.

 


Performance Features

The McIntosh MT2 Precision Turntable with the Sumiko Moonstone Moving Magnet Cartridge offers the latest in playback of vinyl recordings. A full complement of performance features allows for the enjoyment of all recordings reproduced with flawless realism. The advanced electronic and mechanical design ensures many years of smooth trouble free operation.

Advanced Technology Turntable

The MT2 combines the latest technology in Phono Cartridges, Tone Arms, Mechanical Suspensions and Record Platter Rotation for superb performance and accurate operation.

Moving Magnet Cartridge

The Sumiko Moonstone Moving Magnet Cartridge uses only the finest quality high purity copper wire, and together with its higher output ensures low noise, high resolution music playback. This features an alloy cantilever, elliptical diamond stylus with exceptional tracking capability. The ruler-flat frequency response from 20Hz to 20kHz provides solid realistic bass, uncolored midrange and natural high frequencies.

Tone Arm

The MT2 tonearm is made from dural aluminium with special damping material. The tonearm is both light in weight and highly rigid. The noise free vertical bearings are made from two high precision ceramic surfaces with damping fluid. The horizontal bearing is a gimballed sapphire design.

Turntable Platters

The full size outer platter is made from a special dynamically 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 flywheel 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 allowing 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 optimized 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 turntable platter is accomplished by the combination of custom designed fiber optic light diffusers and extra long life light emitting diodes (LEDs)
