The Studio Master T700 Turntable is a high-end turntable featuring a unique, integrated MC phono preamplifier. The integration of the preamplifier allows for the best and shortest connection between the cartridge and the preamplifier, resulting in the highest signal quality. To ensure optimal sound quality, absolute speed accuracy is essential. For this purpose, the T700 has a highly precise electronic PLL speed control via a non-contact optical sensor. The tonearm is made from high-quality metals, with the tonearm tube crafted from carbon fiber. The tonearm wire is directly soldered to the preamplifier. The pre-installed MC cartridge, Ortofon Quintet Bronze, completes this premium product. Operation is facilitated by backlit touch sensors on the glass plate, making the turntable extremely easy and intuitive to use. The platter of the T700 is made from black POM (polyoxymethylene), and no additional mat is necessary. To protect the turntable, a cover made of solid acrylic glass is included, which can also be easily removed. Made in Germany.
