Description
mmf-11.3 turntable
The
music hall mmf-11.1 turntable, their latest flagship, is a 2-speed
belt-driven audiophile turntable, featuring the unique quadruple-plinth
construction originated by music hall.
distinctive design
The
distinctive design isolates the critical sound reproducing components,
each on their own plinth. The tonearm is mounted to the upper plinth and
the inverted ceramic main bearing is mounted to the second plinth
allowing the partially sunken 1 1/2″ acrylic platter to spin freely.
vibration damping
Moving
the main bearing to the second plinth improved cartridge tracking and
significantly lowered background noise. The adjustable
magnetic-levitation isolation feet, microprocessor speed control,
motors, flywheel, and wiring are all mounted to the bottom plinth. The
motors, flywheel, and speed control are further isolated on their own
vibration damped dual-plinth platform, which is separately isolated from
the upper three main plinths.
—Sorbothane hemispheres
separate each of the three main plinths and provide additional vibration
damping. The bottom plinth functions as a mass-loaded resonant sink for
the entire turntable. Two motors and a flywheel are used to increase
torque and speed stability. The mmf-11.3 comes in a high-gloss piano
black lacquer finish and ships without cartridge. A large encapsulating
acrylic dustcover is included.
feature list
- music hall’s unique quadruple-plinth design w/sorbothane vibration isolation
- one-piece Project ‘9cc Evolution’ carbon fiber tonearm

- tonearm
is internally wired with flexible wire drawn from high purity copper
with only two contact points from cartridge to output connectors - counterweight’s center of gravity is level with the stylus tip is decoupled from the arm and acts as a resonance damper

- 33 1⁄3 and 45 rpm speed change at the touch of button
- motors and flywheel assembly are isolated on mass loaded resonant sink connected to the lower plinth
- the
dual motor flywheel system sits on the left side of the turntable thus
eliminating all motor and belt vibration from the cartridge - magnetic-levitation adjustable isolation feet

Michael Fremer:
The
Music Hall MMF 11.1 is the company’s most expensive turntable and based
on the ones I’ve heard (many of them) also their best. …The 11.1
produced an ideal balance of detail, dimensionality and smoothness that
kept me up all night …Overall sonic picture was free of obvious tonal or
transient affects, which made long term listening ultra-pleasant.
