Music Hall MMF 3.3 black

The mmf-3.3 embodies the culmination of over 30 years of research, development, and most importantly, listening. The 3-speed belt-drive turntable was developed for those seeking a perfectly matched set of features with an uncompromising focus on sonic performance. The 3.3 is built with high-quality components and comes complete with a tonearm, mounted cartridge, and dust cover. Speed Control The 3.3 has integrated electronic speed control for 33/45/ and 78. The platter speed switches from 33 to 45 rpm at the touch of a button. 78 rpm requires moving the belt to a different location on the motor pulley and using a different belt, included with the turntable.

Carbon Fiber Arm with Bonded Alloy Shell

This tonearm is unique to music-hall. Bonding the alloy shell to the carbon arm tube stiffens and dampens the carbon fiber tube. This construction greatly improves the sound and performance compared to similar one-piece carbon arms. The alloy shell allows you to safely mount the cartridge on the tonearm without the twisting and bending that is common in one-piece carbon arms. Tonearms should not twist/bend as this negatively impacts the ability of the cartridge and tonearm to properly track the record groove. On many one-piece carbon tonearms, you can literally pinch the cartridge end of the arm between your thumb and forefinger and twist/bend the arm tube. Try this with the music-hall and the tonearm remains rigid as your fingers start to hurt.

The arm itself is housed in a 4-point gimbal bearing construction using Swiss ABEC bearings. This is superior to many of music-hall’s competitors who use a lesser 2-point bearing system.
