Description
The McIntosh MT-10 marries classic McIntosh glass front panel cosmetics with serious
mechanics to create a unique, ready-to-play LP solution. With tracking force, anti-skate
and cartridge position preset at the factory the McIntosh MT-10 delivers high performance
LP playback with minimal set up.
The turntable base is comprised of a damped sandwich of stainless steel and acrylic plate;
a unique combination of dissimilar materials that provides a resonance-free foundation
for the tonearm. A massive, 12 pound, 2 ½” thick acrylic platter spins on a cushion of air,
elevated by a custom magnetic bearing.
A regulated power supply drives a super-quiet, brushless, Swiss DC motor. Unmatched
accuracy is derived from a new electronic speed control that references 1,595 strobe
markings per revolution of the platter. Speed adjustments of 331/3, 45, or 78 RPM are
made from the front panel and are registered on a blue, backlit McIntosh meter.
A custom tonearm features a rigid, dural-aluminium arm-tube gimbaled in two sapphire
(horizontal) and two ceramic (vertical) bearings for the least possible friction. A .5mV
moving coil cartridge is included, and features an ebony body with an elliptical stylus.
■ Power Guard® that monitors the output signal for
over driving and makes real time micro adjustments
to the input signal to prevent harsh sounding clipping
that could potentially damage your speakers
■ Our fuse-less short-circuit protection circuit Sentry
Monitor™ that disengages the output stage before
current exceeds safe operating levels and then resets
automatically when operating conditions return to normal
■ High Drive headphone amplifier with Headphone
Crossfeed Director (HXD®) which can bring an
added dimension to headphone listening
■ McIntosh Monogrammed Heatsinks™ which are
connected to advanced high current output transistors
that minimize thermal equilibrium lag (or warm-up)
time and help keep the MSA5500 running cool
■ Home Theater PassThru that allows for seamless
integration into a home theater system
■ Our patented Solid Cinch™ speaker binding posts that easily
but securely attach the speaker cables to prevent them from
coming loose and possibly causing a short; the binding posts
are also gold-plated to prevent corrosion and ensure a quality
signal is sent over your speaker cables to your speakers
■ Power Control to send power on/off signals
to connected McIntosh components for easy
system power up and shutdown
