GETTING STARTED

Thank you for purchasing the music hall mmf-7.1 turntable. The music hall mmf-7.1

turntable is 2-speed belt-driven, audiophile quality turntable with many unique features.

It is constructed using a split-plinth design and features an external motor. The mmf-7.1

comes in a high gloss, black piano lacquer finish.

THE SPLIT-PLINTH.

The plinth has three adjustable spiked feet and comes with a set of small discs (cups).

The discs prevent marking of the surface of the supporting shelf. A spirit level is

incorporated on the top platform. The two 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 motor is 12 volt AC and comes with an external power supply. 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. Any vibrations would be

absorbed along the length of the arm thus bypassing the stylus (The stylus moves from

left to right, not front to back).

THE PLATTER

The belt runs round the perimeter of the acrylic platter. Acrylic was chosen for its

superior sound quality and isolation properties. A screw-on record clamp and felt mat

are supplied as standard.

THE ARM

The tonearm is the 'Project Carbon'. This is a carbon fiber version of the acclaimed

Project 9.1 arm. The bearings are made from hardened stainless steel points set in

sturdy ring cages. 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 internal wiring drawn from high purity copper.

THE CARTRIDGE

The mmf-7.1 comes standard with a Goldring Eroica H, high-output moving-coil

cartridge. The Eroica H 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-7.1. These features combine to ensure that the

mmf-7.1 delivers superior audio performance that will provide years of enjoyment.
