MMF-11.3 TURNTABLE
The music hall 11.3 represents the culmination of years of r&d and is the finest example of our design philosophy.
Unique Technology
We made significant changes to the motor assembly and its placement. The motor now sits on its own isolation platform separate from the turntable. This alteration and other changes to the overall size of the table has significantly elevated the performance and sound of the 11.3. It’s our finest achievement to date.
Vibration Damping
Moving the main bearing to the second plinth improved cartridge tracking and significantly lowered background noise. The adjustable magnetic-levitation isolation feet and all wiring are mounted on the bottom plinth.
The material used for the hemispheres which separate each of the four main plinths and provide additional vibration damping has been refined and improved. A TPE material is now used, custom designed for music hall, which is able to isolate all the plinth-layers more efficiently. The bottom plinth functions as a mass-loaded resonant sink for the entire turntable.
Cadenza Black
Cadenza Black is optimized for an amazing tonal neutrality, dynamics and purity of sound.
The Cadenza Black model is using a Nude Shibata stylus with a boron cantilever. The effective mass of the stylus/cantilever system is extremely low due to the use of a very thin boron rod. This material is extremely stiff and even more lightweight than aluminium. It also uses the WRD/Wide Range Damping-system applied for MC Windfeld, MC A90, MC Anna, Xpression and MC A95 cartridges, controlling the high and low frequency damping separately. The coil wire is the famous Ortofon Aucurum wire, which is a gold plated 6NX copper wire. Cadenza Black is high performing on areas like detail, consistency and sound staging.
FEATURES:
• The distinctive design isolates the critical sound reproducing components, each on their own plinth. The tonearm is mounted to the upper plinth and the inverted ceramic main bearing is mounted to the second plinth allowing the partially sunken 1 1/2″ acrylic platter to spin freely.
• Music hall’s unique quadruple-plinth design w/ sorbothane vibration isolation
• One-piece Project ‘9cc Evolution’ carbon fibre tonearm
• The arm uses four hardened Swiss ABEC 7 ball races in an inverted bearing design
• Tonearm is internally wired with flexible wire drawn from high purity cop-
per with only two contact points from cartridge to output connectors
• Counterweight’s centre of gravity is level with the stylus tip is decoupled from the arm and acts as a resonance damper
• Fully adjustable azimuth, VTA, and dampened arm lift
• exclusive microprocessor electronic speed controlled dual motor single flywheel drive system
• 33 1⁄3 and 45 rpm speed change at the touch of button
• Motors and flywheel assembly are isolated on mass loaded resonant sink connected to the lower plinth
• The dual motor flywheel system sits on the left side of the turn- table thus eliminating all motor and belt vibration from the cartridge
• Magnetic-levitation adjustable isolation feet
• Inverted ceramic main bearing for super quiet fluid operation
• Thick acrylic platter
• Removable acrylic dustcover
• High quality, gold RCA connectors with detachable phono cable
• Low noise fully manual belt-drive design, dustcover, 45rpm adaptor
• Ships securely in a substantial wood box
• Excellent instruction manual and easy assembly
