Chassis: The turntable features a robust plinth made from veneered MDF, which is 38mm thick, providing excellent stability and vibration damping. It is supported by three large adjustable aluminium feet that enhance its stability on various surfaces
Platter: The platter is notable for its diamond-polished surface, measuring 300mm in diameter and 34mm in thickness, weighing approximately 6.4 kg. This design helps improve resonance behaviour, contributing to better sound quality
Performance
Motor and Power Supply: The Manfred MKII utilizes an outboard power supply and a free-standing synchronous motor, which minimizes vibrations transferred to the platter. This setup is crucial for maintaining sound fidelity during playback
Tonearm Compatibility: It is compatible with various tonearms, including the Acoustic Signature TA-700, allowing users to customize their setup according to their preferences
Additional Features
The turntable includes an anti-vibrant panel that covers the entire surface, enhancing its ability to isolate sound from external disturbances. It also incorporates eight cylindrical elements designed to further reduce vibrations
Overall, the Acoustic Signature Manfred MKII is engineered for audiophiles who appreciate meticulous craftsmanship and high-performance audio reproduction.
