McIntosh MTI100 Integrated Turntable

The McIntosh MTI100 looks like a turntable and is in fact a complete system: a belt-drive turntable with pre-fitted cartridge, a vacuum-tube preamplifier, a shielded phono preamplifier stage, a Class D power amplifier, Bluetooth reception, analog and digital inputs, a subwoofer output, and a headphone jack, all in a single McIntosh-designed chassis. For a listener who wants genuine McIntosh engineering without assembling a rack of separate components, the MTI100 is the complete answer.

The engineering priorities are aligned with the everything-in-one-chassis concept. The dedicated phono stage sits in its own shielded enclosure to keep the most delicate signal in the system isolated from amplifier switching noise. The vacuum-tube preamplifier stage carries the harmonic warmth McIntosh's tube lineage is built on. The Class D power amplifier is sized to drive most bookshelf and moderate floor standing loudspeakers to satisfying levels without the heat load of a Class A/B integrated amp.

Connectivity covers modern source needs: Bluetooth for casual streaming from phone or tablet, analog inputs for a cassette deck or other legacy source, digital inputs for a streamer or television, and a subwoofer output for adding low-frequency extension when the main speakers cannot reach deep enough. A dedicated headphone jack supports private listening.

Plug in a pair of speakers and the system is complete — vinyl, streaming, and disc all live in the one chassis. A natural second system, small-room setup, or first serious McIntosh system built around vinyl. Available at LMC — walk in during business hours or book ahead.
