Marantz TT-42 Schematic

TT-42

TT-42 Turntable

The analogue recording is still very alive. Quality turntables are still in demand. Digital discs

simply set new performance standards up to which turntables must measure. Many cherished

records may never be issued on digital formats and for those good turntables is now more

important than ever. Marantz embraces an audiophile quality turntable with DC servo belt-

drive and low-coloration tone-arm to answer the need for a high performance source

component for the analogue record. The TT-42 is here to stay.

TURNTABLE

Quality sound from Vinyl

Vinyl records are still a part of most people's music collection.
Therefore Marantz retains a turntable in its product range.
TT-42 is designed to provide high performance of sound
reproduction and ease of use.

Full floating chassis

The record player is very vulnerable for mechanical vibration
and therefore the best possible measures have to be taken. A
fully floating chassis ensures vibration free support for more
detailed and dynamic sound reproduction.

DC servo motor belt-drive system

A DC servo motor provides accurate spin but this can be a
source of noise. Therefore the belt drive system has got a clear
advantage since the turntable platter can be isolated from the
motor.

Full automatic operation

In stead of worrying about a shaking hand, causing a drop of
the tone arm and damaging the valuable stylus, the TT-42
provides an automatic start option. Just set the switch to
START, the tone arm automatically goes to the beginning
position of the record and puts the stylus gently on the vinyl.
TT-42 also senses the end of the record, it will retreat the tone
arm to the arm rest and switches off its power.

Two speed selection

Vinyl record come with two different speed. 33 1/3 rpm LP and
45 rpm Single. TT-42 has selector to choose the speed you want
to play.

MM Cartridge

The TT-42 comes with a ready-fitted moving magnet (MM)
cartridge. Its high output can be connected to an MM input,
available on many integrated amplifiers and phono equalisers.
