Mahler specifications

Pro-Ject Mahler is an audiophile-grade turntable that encapsulates the essence of high-fidelity sound and elegant design. Embracing the legacy of traditional vinyl playback, Mahler efficiently combines contemporary technologies with classic craftsmanship, creating an intimate and immersive listening experience for music enthusiasts.

One of the standout features of the Pro-Ject Mahler is its impeccable build quality. Constructed with a stable, heavy chassis, it minimizes vibrations that can negatively impact sound clarity. The turntable features a low-resonance MDF plinth that not only provides aesthetic appeal but also effectively dampens unwanted noise, ensuring that the music remains true to its original recording.

The Mahler employs a precision-engineered belt-drive system, which significantly reduces motor noise and vibration during playback. This configuration allows for a more stable rotation of the platter, enhancing the overall speed accuracy and fidelity of music reproduction. The turntable is equipped with a high-quality, acoustic-grade platter that provides excellent mass and inertia, further contributing to the deck's performance.

An essential component of any turntable is its tonearm, and the Mahler does not disappoint. Its 9-inch carbon fiber tonearm combines lightweight construction with exceptional rigidity, permitting intricate detailing in playback without compromising on resonance control. The tonearm features an adjustable counterweight and azimuth settings, allowing users to fine-tune their setup for optimal performance with various cartridges.

Speaking of cartridges, the Pro-Ject Mahler supports a variety of high-quality phono cartridges, enabling audiophiles to choose the one that best suits their listening preferences. This adaptability ensures versatility in sound signature, allowing for personal customization that can range from warm and rich to crisp and detailed sound.

Moreover, the Mahler enhances user experience with a modern aesthetic complemented by a choice of attractive finishes. This ensures that it not only performs beautifully but also serves as a striking centerpiece in any audio setup.
