Know before you buy
You can change speeds manually by moving the belt to the appropriate groove on the Delrin pulley. This design avoids the need to remove the platter, making the process quick and straightforward.
The StudioDeck is typically sold as a turntable-only unit, allowing you to choose between MoFi’s StudioTracker, UltraTracker, or MasterTracker moving magnet cartridges to suit your preference.
The 10-inch aluminum tonearm is highly adjustable, offering control over tracking force, vertical tracking angle (VTA), azimuth, and anti-skate. This allows you to dial in the setup precisely for your chosen cartridge.
The plinth uses an aluminum plate bonded to an MDF body to create a dense, resonance-resistant foundation. This solid construction helps minimize vibrations, resulting in a clearer, more detailed sound with improved sonic weight.
The StudioDeck is designed for a straightforward, non-fiddly setup process. While it offers professional-grade adjustments, the assembly is intuitive and well-suited for users who want high-end performance without an overly complex installation.
The turntable sits on specialized anti-vibration feet developed in collaboration with Harmonic Resolution Systems. These feet are engineered to isolate the deck from surface-borne noise, ensuring a stable and clean playback environment.
