MoFi Electronics UltraDeck Turntable

An award-winning audiophile turntable that combines exceptional engineering, precision speed stability, and outstanding value to deliver true-to-the-source vinyl playback.

Built for Serious Vinyl Enthusiasts

The UltraDeck was developed to bridge the gap between entry-level audiophile turntables and true high-end analog playback systems.

Designed by Allen Perkins in collaboration with Mobile Fidelity engineers, the UltraDeck incorporates many of the same engineering principles found in significantly more expensive turntables while remaining accessible to enthusiasts looking for a long-term analog investment.

Its combination of speed accuracy, vibration control, tonearm precision, and resonance management has made it one of the most respected turntables in its class.

Designed by Allen Perkins

Allen Perkins is one of the most respected names in analog playback design.

His philosophy centers around controlling vibration, preserving signal integrity, and allowing cartridges to retrieve information from the groove without interference from the turntable itself.

The UltraDeck reflects these priorities through:

• Precision mechanical engineering
• Advanced resonance control
• Long-term reliability
• Superior tracking stability
• High cartridge compatibility
• Exceptional musical accuracy

The result is a turntable designed to let records speak for themselves.

Massive 6.8-Pound Delrin Platter

One of the defining features of the UltraDeck is its substantial 6.8-pound Delrin platter.

Delrin is highly valued in analog playback because its mechanical impedance closely matches that of vinyl records. This helps minimize unwanted energy reflections that can smear musical detail.

Benefits include:

• Improved resonance control
• Lower background noise
• Better speed consistency
• Enhanced bass definition
• Superior tracking stability
• Greater low-level detail retrieval

The increased platter mass also contributes to exceptional rotational stability.

Isolated 300 RPM AC Synchronous Motor

The UltraDeck utilizes an isolated 300 RPM AC synchronous motor specifically engineered to minimize vibration transfer.

Rather than allowing motor energy to enter the playback system, the motor assembly is carefully decoupled from the plinth.

Advantages include:

• Improved speed stability
• Reduced vibration
• Better pitch accuracy
• Enhanced timing precision
• Lower noise floor
• Increased musical realism

The result is playback that sounds stable, natural, and highly engaging.

10-Inch Ultra Tonearm

The custom-designed Ultra Tonearm is one of the most important elements of the UltraDeck platform.

The 10-inch straight aluminum design utilizes precision gimbal bearings and extensive adjustability to maximize cartridge performance.

Benefits include:

• Reduced tracking error
• Improved channel balance
• Better stylus alignment
• Lower distortion
• Enhanced imaging
• Greater retrieval of groove information

The tonearm also features premium Cardas internal wiring to preserve signal purity from cartridge to output terminals.

Extensive Cartridge Adjustability

The UltraDeck supports a wide variety of cartridge upgrades.

Adjustments include:

• Vertical Tracking Angle (VTA)
• Azimuth
• Tracking Force
• Anti-Skate
• Cartridge Alignment

This flexibility allows the UltraDeck to continue improving as your analog system evolves over time.

Constrained-Layer Damped Construction

The UltraDeck chassis incorporates multiple aluminum plates bonded to a carefully engineered MDF structure.

This constrained-layer design helps absorb unwanted vibration and prevent coloration.

Benefits include:

• Improved structural rigidity
• Lower resonance
• Better image focus
• Cleaner bass response
• Enhanced transparency
• More accurate musical reproduction

The platform remains remarkably quiet even during demanding listening sessions.

HRS Isolation Feet

The UltraDeck incorporates anti-vibration feet developed in cooperation with Harmonic Resolution Systems (HRS).

These isolation devices help shield the turntable from environmental vibrations and acoustic feedback.

Advantages include:

• Improved bass definition
• Better image stability
• Lower noise floor
• Enhanced detail retrieval
• Reduced external vibration
• Greater overall clarity

Isolation remains one of the most important aspects of high-performance analog playback.

Precision Bearing System

The UltraDeck utilizes a hardened steel inverted bearing assembly paired with a sapphire thrust pad.

This sophisticated bearing system contributes to:

• Smooth platter rotation
• Long-term durability
• Low mechanical noise
• Excellent speed consistency
• Reduced friction
• Improved sonic performance

The result is a platform capable of extracting extraordinary detail from vinyl records.

Compared to the StudioDeck

The StudioDeck serves as an excellent entry point into the MoFi turntable family.

The UltraDeck advances performance through:

• Heavier 6.8-pound Delrin platter
• More advanced Ultra Tonearm
• Improved isolation system
• Greater overall resolution
• Enhanced speed stability
• Superior dynamic performance

Listeners upgrading from the StudioDeck often notice improvements in bass authority, imaging precision, and low-level detail retrieval.

Compared to the MasterDeck

The MasterDeck represents MoFi's ultimate reference platform.

Choose the UltraDeck if you want:

• Exceptional analog performance
• Outstanding value
• Simpler ownership
• Broad cartridge compatibility
• Long-term upgrade flexibility

Choose the MasterDeck if your priority is:

• Ultimate reference performance
• Advanced electronic speed regulation
• Hybrid tonearm architecture
• Flagship isolation technology
• Maximum adjustability

Cartridge Upgrade Path

One of the strengths of the UltraDeck is its ability to support increasingly sophisticated cartridges.

Excellent cartridge matches include:

• MoFi StudioTracker
• MoFi UltraTracker
• MoFi MasterTracker
• MoFi UltraGold MC
• Ortofon 2M Bronze
• Ortofon 2M Black
• Ortofon Quintet Blue
• Ortofon Quintet Bronze
• Ortofon Quintet Black S
• Ortofon Cadenza Series

As cartridge quality increases, the UltraDeck continues to reveal deeper levels of musical information.

Ideal System Matching

Its balanced engineering allows it to anchor systems ranging from enthusiast-level setups to true audiophile installations.

Sound Quality

Listeners consistently describe the UltraDeck as delivering:

• Deep black backgrounds
• Excellent speed stability
• Expansive soundstage presentation
• Natural tonal balance
• Outstanding image focus
• Strong dynamic contrast

The combination of precision engineering and effective vibration control allows music to emerge with remarkable realism and emotional impact.

An Award-Winning Analog Platform

The UltraDeck has earned widespread praise because it focuses on the fundamentals that matter most in analog playback.

Its substantial Delrin platter, precision tonearm, isolated motor system, HRS isolation feet, and constrained-layer construction combine to create a turntable capable of competing far above its price class.

For vinyl enthusiasts seeking a serious long-term analog investment, the UltraDeck remains one of the most compelling turntables available today.
