FENDER + MOFI = THE PRETTIEST TURNTABLE OF ALL TIME?

Fender has partnered with audio tech company Mobile Fidelity Electronics (MoFi) for its first-ever turntable, the PrecisionDeck. Limited to only 1,000 units worldwide, the new turntable has a shape designed by Fender Master Builder Yuriy Shishkov, is built using the same swamp ash wood as found on Fender’s Precision Bass guitars and finished in Fender’s three-color sunburst. Internally, the components are designed and built by MoFi, with the same technology found in the company’s award-winning UltraDeck turntable system.

Fender describes the system as “ready to play straight out of the box” thanks to its pre-mounted

MoFi MasterTracker pickup, which utilises two low-mass magnets aligned in a V formation parallel to the record’s grooves to “accurately extract music from LPs”. Other features of the 25.5-pound PrecisionDeck include a 1.3-inch Delrin platter that delivers “deep black backgrounds and a fantastically low noise floor”, 300RPM isolated AC synchronous motor, ten-inch straight aluminium gimballed bearing Ultra tonearm with Cardas Audio wiring, hardened-steel inverted bearing system, anti-vibration feet, and a dust cover.
