Product Description

The McIntosh MT2 Precision Turntable becomes the 3rd and most economical model in our line of turntables. It combines the latest in turntable technology and design to deliver both superb performance and accurate playback. A full complement of features allows for all recordings to be reproduced with flawless realism. Its advanced electronic and mechanical design will give many years of smooth, trouble-free operation.

While still very clearly a McIntosh design, it does differ in appearance compared to the MT10 and MT5. Most notable is that it’s platter is not illuminated but instead a subtle green glow emanates from under it and the outside edges of the plinth for a touch of refined ambiance. Another difference is that the plinth is thinner and does not include a glass front panel or aluminum endcaps. But then classic design cues such as our illuminated logo and control knob (for speed selection) firmly establish the McIntosh MT2 as part of the McIntosh family. Further establishing the McIntosh familial connection is the plinth that is capped by an acrylic plate with styling borrowed from the RS100 Wireless Speaker.
