The MT2 is a McIntosh turntable with belt drive from a DC motor.
Key specs that matter
The deck offers two speeds, 33 and 45 rpm. The platter is made of polyoxymethylene (POM), a dense engineering plastic, and is dynamically balanced for even mass distribution and resonance control. Wow and flutter is quoted at 0.15 to 0.25%, with signal-to-noise given as 35 to 40dB. The turntable measures 452 x 152 x 432mm and weighs 13.2kg.
Pairing
The MT2 needs a phono stage, and McIntosh preamplifiers with a built-in phono input are a natural match.
Alternatives
McIntosh also makes the MT5, a belt-driven turntable that comes complete with a tonearm and a factory-fitted Sumiko Amethyst MM cartridge.
