Description from the seller
The Meltron EMT 938 is a legendary, professional broadcast turntable originally developed by the German top brand EMT (Elektro-Mess-Technik) for radio stations and recording studios.
In certain regions (such as Asia) this model was released under license or through collaborations under the Meltron brand. The unit is known for its extreme mechanical reliability, precision and legendary sound quality.
Since you only enter the model name, I assume you are looking for a general overview of the technical specifications and features to understand the value or functions of this device.
Key Features
Quartz-Locked Direct Drive: The platter is directly driven via a highly stable, quartz-controlled system. This ensures an extremely constant speed without jitter or wow & flutter (< 0,075%). [, 2]
Ultra-fast start-up time: Designed for live radio, so the platter reaches the correct speed within 500 milliseconds. It also features an electronic braking system. []
Built-in preamplifier (Phono EQ): The EMT 938 has a high-quality integrated equalizer amplifier that sends studio-faithful signals directly to a mixer or line input. It supports various historical curves such as DIN, NAB and IEC. [1, 3]
Shock- and vibration-resistant: The chassis uses an advanced absorption system to fully isolate it from external vibrations. []
