OUR TECHNOLOGIES

PRECISION DIRECT DRIVE SYSTEM – ENGINEERED FOR AUDIOPHILE PERFORMANCE

The Magnat MTT 990 features a quartz-controlled direct drive system engineered for maximum precision and reliability. At the heart of the drive is a high-torque motor that ensures stable platter rotation and rapid start-up, providing audiophile-grade performance across all playback speeds. Designed for ease of use, the MTT 990 offers one-touch control and supports 33 1/3, 45, and 78 rpm speed selection, making it compatible with a wide range of vinyl records—from standard LPs to rare shellac discs. The drive system maintains extremely accurate speed thanks to quartz crystal regulation, eliminating wow and flutter for clean, consistent playback. With a standby power consumption of less than 0.5 watts, the MTT 990 is also energy-efficient. The switchable power supply (115 / 230 VAC, 50/60Hz) ensures global compatibility, making it a perfect choice for audiophiles around the world.

HIGH-PRECISION 10″ J-SHAPED TONEARM FOR OPTIMAL TRACKING

The Magnat MTT 990 features a robust 10-inch J-shaped tonearm crafted from specially alloyed aluminum, designed to deliver exceptional rigidity and lightweight precision. Ideal for cartridges with medium to medium-stiff dynamic compliance, this tonearm ensures accurate tracking and minimal distortion. The SME-compatible headshell allows easy cartridge upgrades or replacements. Durable stainless steel tonearm bearings paired with carbon steel bearing balls provide smooth, friction-free movement for improved sound fidelity. A mechanically decoupled counterweight reduces unwanted vibrations, while the adjustable tonearm base height allows precise setup for nearly any cartridge. The tonearm lift is hydraulically damped to prevent sudden drops, protecting your precious stylus and vinyl records. Inside, the tonearm is wired with premium Mogami cables from Japan, ensuring superior signal transfer. Gold-plated RCA outputs and a solid grounding terminal complete the design, delivering clean, noise-free audio connectivity.

PRECISION POLYMER PLATTER FOR AUDIOPHILE PERFORMANCE

At the heart of this high-end direct-drive turntable lies a heavy, full-size platter crafted from a precision-turned, high-compressed special polymer. This premium material minimizes vibrations and ensures ultra-stable rotation for true high-fidelity sound.

With a standard 12-inch (305 mm) diameter, the platter accommodates all vinyl records without the need for adapters. You can place records directly on the platter for a pure, uncolored sound experience or use the included felt mat to further reduce resonance and static.

Whether you’re rediscovering classic LPs or spinning brand-new pressings, the Magnat MTT 990’s platter design will bring out the full potential of your vinyl collection.

SOLID, STYLISH AND RESONANCE-REDUCING

The Magnat MTT 990 turntable is built on a foundation of solid MDF (medium-density fiberboard), ensuring excellent stability and effective resonance damping for superior audio performance. This robust cabinet minimizes unwanted vibrations, allowing your vinyl records to sound exactly as intended.

A high-quality glossy lacquer finish not only adds a touch of elegance to any listening room but also protects the cabinet from scratches. The turntable stands on height-adjustable, decoupling feet, designed to isolate it from surface vibrations and ensure perfect leveling on any surface.

For added convenience and protection, an acrylic dust cover is available and can be optionally mounted—keeping your turntable clean without compromising its visual appeal.
