GETTING STARTED
Thank you for purchasing the music hall mmf-9.1 turntable. The music hall mmf-9.1
turntable, our flagship model, is a 2-speed belt-driven, audiophile quality turntable with
many unique features. It is constructed using a triple-plinth design and features an
external motor. The mmf-9.1 comes in a vibration absorbing high gloss lacquer finish.
THE TRIPLE-PLINTH
The lower plinth has three adjustable spiked feet and comes with a set of small discs
(cups). The discs prevent marki
ng of the supporting shelf’s surface. A spirit level is
incorporated on the top platform. The three platforms of the plinth are separated by four
Sorbothane hemispheres, which act as a suspension and isolation system. External
phono sockets are attached to the bottom platform. A high quality interconnect is
supplied.
THE MOTOR
The 16 volt AC motor is external at the front, left corner of the table and has an
electronic speed control that runs the motor at 50Hz instead of 60Hz. (A 50Hz motor
runs quieter than a 60Hz motor). The motor rests in a cutout on the front, left quadrant
of the turntable. It is completely isolated from the table and sports a blue LED. Placing
the motor diagonally opposite the arm reduces any vibrations caused by the belt from
entering into the cartridge. Speed change from 33
1
/
3
to 45rpm is done at the push of a
button.
THE PLATTER
The belt runs round the perimeter of the 1" (25mm) acrylic platter. Acrylic was chosen
for its superior sound quality and isolation properties. The platter sits on an incredibly
quiet, inverted ceramic bearing. A soft felt mat is supplied as standard with the table.
THE ARM
The tonearm is the 'Project 9cc'. This is a 9” one piece precision tonearm with carbon
fiber armtube/headshell. Four hardened Swiss ABEC 7 spec ballraces are used in an
inverted bearing design. The counterweight's center of gravity is level with the stylus
tip. It is decoupled from the arm and acts as a resonance damper. The arm also has
adjustable VTA, a damped arm lift and highly flexible top-grade internal wiring drawn
from high purity copper.
THE CARTRIDGE
The mmf-9.1 comes standard with the Goldring Eroica LX cartridge. The Eroica LX is a
low-output moving coil cartridge. The Eroica LX was chosen for its low mass, high
rigidity body, rare earth Neodymium magnet, and its Gyger II line contact stylus. It is a
perfect complement to the audiophile qualities of the mmf-9.1
. These features combine
to ensure that the mmf-9.1 delivers superior audio performance that will provide years of
enjoyment.
