Key specs that matter

Drive is via belt with a fixed suspension. The turntable comes pre-installed with MoFi's distinctive 10-inch unipivot/gimbal hybrid tonearm - an unusual dual-bearing-type design combining the strengths of unipivot and gimbal geometries. The platter uses an aluminium-and-Delrin construction chosen for its resonance-damping properties. At 508 x 130 x 384mm and 19.5kg, the MasterDeck represents a serious turntable commitment reflecting MoFi's considered engineering standards.

Sound and use context

Expect exceptionally stable, precise rotational speed reflecting the aluminium-and-Delrin platter's resonance-damping properties, with the distinctive unipivot/gimbal hybrid tonearm offering an unusual, carefully considered tracking geometry.

Pairing

The pre-installed 10-inch unipivot/gimbal hybrid tonearm requires a separate cartridge selection to complete this turntable's analogue front end.
