    Off-the-Chart Features, Performance, and Build Quality

    The features, performance, and build quality of the Music Hall MMF-Mark-1 SE turntable are off the chart for anywhere near the price. The simplified, no-nonsense design focuses on critical components for superior sound quality.

    The low-noise Mark-1 SE carries over the signature sound of Music Hall founder Roy Hall with its newly designed, all-aluminum, S-shaped tonearm with a precision aluminum headshell. Other features include an Ortofon MM cartridge, an alloy platter with soft felt mat, gold RCA connectors, and vibration-damping adjustable feet. A dust cover is also included. The beautiful, sleek walnut veneer finish fits perfectly in any room of your home.

    Low Noise, Belt-Drive Design

    The Mark-1 SE's low noise, belt-drive design uses an AC synchronous motor for superior speed stability at both 33-1/3 rpm and 45 rpm. The precision stainless steel main bearing is sheathed in Teflon® for noise-free fluid operation. Special vibration-damping adjustable feet provide isolation and make leveling a cinch.

    All-New, High-Value S-Shaped Tonearm

    Featuring an all-new, high-value S-shaped tonearm design, the Mark-1 delivers exceptional rigidity and internal damping, with a precision aluminum headshell, and fully adjustable VTA - a feature almost never seen in this price-range. The tonearm flange is CNC-machined, which allows for accurate mounting of the tonearm to the heavy chassis. The magnetic anti-skating feature and factory-set pre-adjusted and fixed counterweight make setup a breeze.

    Alloy Platter with Soft Felt Mat

    For a nice step-up from lesser turntable designs, the Mark-1 SE includes an alloy platter with an included felt mat that helps reduce potential noise caused by static build-up on your LP.

    Ortofon OM 5E Cartridge Included

    The Music Hall Mark-1 SE also boasts a high-quality, super-fast, and dynamic low-mass Ortofon OM 5E cartridge, perfectly matched to the characteristics of the tonearm. It creates a beautiful, full-bodied sound that until now has been impossible to achieve in a budget turntable.

    The OM 5E features elliptical stylus that provides balanced and distortion-free playback. Elliptical diamonds are able to follow the groove oscillations more accurately than spherical diamonds due to their contoured shape. This results in better tracking and less distortion.

    Working together, the Mark-1 SE and the OM 5E prove that you can enjoy premium audio performance without compromise. And without breaking the bank. The OM 5E comes properly aligned and mounted, making set-up incredibly easy right out of the box.
