MoFi UltraDeck+M

”Given its development connections, I had a feeling MoFi’s UltraDeck would be good, but am astonished by just how capable it is as it delivers plenty of bang for your buck at the price.” ’Hi-Fi Choice’ – Editor’s Choice.

From the best in vinyl to world-class playback
Mobile Fidelity, or MoFi to friends, are world-renowned for their reference quality vinyl pressings and recordings. To make the most of these, they now produce some of the most exciting vinyl playback products about. Their range of turntables, tonearms, cartridges, phonostages and isolation feet has been critically acclaimed and is already loved by thousands of happy customers.

Mass. Producing sound
At the heart of this highly researched and developed turntable is a massive, 33mm thick plater that weighs in at 1.7kg. The reason for this massive platter is, by increasing the mass, vibration and resonance are greatly reduced, letting you hear more detail. With an inky dark backdrop, if a pin drops in the recording studio, you’ll hear it on playback. Made from DuPont-developed Delrin, the polymer-based platter’s structure also complements your vinyls’ natural impedance. This effectively grounds unwanted noise, keeping it away from the sensitive stylus.

Smooth pitch and fine detail
For stable, pitch-accurate sound, the UltraDeck+M uses a 300rpm AC motor. Motor vibrations are kept away from the record and stylus by using advanced damping materials that effectively decouple the motor from the rest of the deck. Without this vibration to contend with, you get even less background noise, letting more of that fine background detail shine through.

Custom-developed Ultra tonearm
Matching this highly impressive turntable is a bespoke tonearm. Developed and manufactured in the USA, the Ultra tonearm has a number of sound-enhancing features. Longer than standard tonearms, this 10-inch design, with gimbaled bearing, offers enhanced tracking. The aluminium tonearm strikes the perfect balance between lightweight and rigidity, helping to reduce distortion. Inside, Cardas Audio wiring maintains the signal purity from the headshell to the RCA output sockets. The tonearm also adjusts to suit a wide variety of different cartridges. Adjustable for tracking force, anti-skate, azimuth and VTA (height), it’s easy to get the perfect setting for your next cartridge upgrade.

‘Plus M’ for an upgrade in sound – MasterTracker cartridge included
Supplied with the, ‘M for Magic’, MasterTracker cartridge, the UltraDeck+M gives you enhanced sound quality, straight out of the box. Using a Micro-Line stylus, the MasterTracker sinks deeper into your vinyl’s groove, extracting more detail, dynamics and, at the same time, reducing wear and tear. The cartridge’s motor uses twin magnets, in a V formation to accurately replicate the original signal. The billet aluminium body doesn’t just look good, it also helps control resonances, giving a tight, accurate bass response.
