Introduction and Performance Features
• 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 preci-
sion 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 MT5 Turntable Platter rotates on a ceramic bear-
ing using magnetic suspension together with a cushion
of air to provide vibration free rotation.
• Multi-Layered Dampened Chassis
The MT5 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 con-
venient Turn-On/Off of the MT5 Illumination when
connected to a McIntosh System with Power Control.
• Fiber Optic Solid State Illumination
The even Illumination of the Front Panel and the Turn-
table Platter is accomplished by the combination of
custom designed Fiber Optic Light Diffusers and extra
long life Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs).
• Glass Front Panel and Super Mirror Chassis
Finish
The famous McIntosh Illuminated Glass Front Panel
and the Stainless Steel Chassis with Super Mirror
