Audiophile Direct-Drive Record Player incl. cartridge
The Magnat MTT 990 is the first record player in Magnat´s company history. It was created with all our knowledge gathered from 45 years of hi-fi development and the expertise of proven analogue specialists. And because our standards are so high, the first Magnat record players just had to have a direct-drive system.
The goal was to combine the reliability of studio and DJ turntables with audiophile acoustic characteristics.

What do trade magazines say about this product?
Equipped for all pickups
The tonearm is height adjustable in a few simple steps. This means you can set it perfectly for any pickup on the international market or also experiment with different mat heights.
One button for all events
The drive is extremely easy to operate: All three speeds and Start/Stop are set on the MTT 990’s large rotary knob.
Cartridge with best references
An Audio Technica AT 95E is pre-installed perfectly before leaving the factory. This MM system is one of the best-selling and most frequently tested worldwide. It sounds very natural and harmonises with the vast majority of all phono preamps on the market
No chance of vibrations
The feet supporting the MTT 990 are particularly important. Their special design prevents vibrations from the supporting surface from affecting the scanning.
