The original concept was to combine the inert mass of metal alloys with the low-resonance behavior of acrylic, while using a dual-chassis structure to decouple the motor from the tonearm and platter. The M8xTT follows that same idea, but with updated engineering throughout.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe chassis uses two acrylic plinths joined by four heavyweight aluminum feet with TPE damping and magnetic support. The feet are height-adjustable, making it easy to level the turntable precisely. The motor sits on special foam in the lower acrylic plinth, helping isolate it from the platter and tonearm, while electronic speed control lets you switch between 33 and 45 rpm.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe platter is a 10 kg sandwich aluminum design with aluminum inserts to improve flywheel effect, with TPE damping on both levels. A silicone belt connects the motor to the platter, while an inverted bearing with a ceramic ball tip provides a low-friction rotational foundation.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe included 10\" Musical Fidelity tonearm is a new ultra-low-resonance design with a transparent acrylic bearing ring and conical aluminum arm tube. It is fully adjustable for VTA and azimuth, and comes with two TPE-damped counterweights for use with cartridges from 6 to 20 g. Around the back, the M8xTT provides both standard phono RCA outputs and balanced XLR outputs, giving you flexibility with a wide range of phono preamps.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eMass-loaded belt-drive design with electronic 33\/45 speed control\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e10 kg sandwich aluminum platter with aluminum inserts and TPE damping\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eInverted platter bearing with ceramic ball tip\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e10\" Musical Fidelity tonearm with transparent acrylic bearing ring\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eFully adjustable VTA and azimuth\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eTwo TPE-damped counterweights for cartridges from 6 to 20 g\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDual-level acrylic plinth with effective motor decoupling\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eHeight-adjustable aluminum feet with TPE damping and magnetic support\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eRCA and balanced XLR outputs\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eHandmade in Europe\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003ch3\u003eIncluded Accessories\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eHeavyweight aluminum record puck\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eLeather turntable mat\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSemi-balanced phono interconnect cable with gold-plated connectors\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSpeed:\u003c\/b\u003e 33, 45 rpm, electronic speed change\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDrive Principle:\u003c\/b\u003e Belt drive with electronic speed control\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePlatter:\u003c\/b\u003e Sandwich aluminum platter with aluminum inserts, 10 kg, both levels with TPE damping\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePlatter Bearing:\u003c\/b\u003e Inverted bearing with ceramic ball tip\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTonearm:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\" Musical Fidelity tonearm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEffective Tonearm Mass\/Length:\u003c\/b\u003e 17 g\/254 mm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eOverhang:\u003c\/b\u003e 16 mm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWow and Flutter:\u003c\/b\u003e 33 rpm: ±0.05%; 45 rpm: ±0.04%\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSpeed Drift:\u003c\/b\u003e 33 rpm: ±0.11%; 45 rpm: ±0.10%\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSignal-to-Noise Ratio:\u003c\/b\u003e -78 dB\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDimensions (WHD):\u003c\/b\u003e 20.98\" x 9.65\" x 16.26\" (533 x 245 x 413 mm)\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 69.4 lb.
