Turntable EMT 928 II
Broadcast precision meets modern musicality in an uncompromising Swiss-engineered turntable.
Emerging from the storied lineage of professional broadcast equipment, the EMT 928 II redefines the relationship between industrial precision and the visceral enjoyment of music. It represents the pinnacle of modern Swiss engineering, bridging the gap between historical heritage and contemporary performance requirements.
At its heart lies a sophisticated, independent battery power source that completely isolates the drive system from electrical grid noise. This ensures the motor operates with unwavering consistency, allowing the listener to experience recordings with rare clarity and freedom from external interference.
Sonically, the 928 II is a master of articulation and scale. It possesses the ability to render complex arrangements with effortless speed and authoritative grip, maintaining a controlled, three-dimensional soundstage that brings performers into the room with striking realism and density.
Key Features
01
Battery power supply
The integrated battery system eliminates mains-borne interference, providing over 30 hours of pure, grid-free playback.
02
High-mass platter
A 5.5kg aluminium platter provides exceptional rotational inertia and stability for steady speed and reduced wow and flutter.
03
Precision aluminium chassis
The massive, machined aluminium plinth offers a high-density foundation that naturally suppresses resonances and vibrations.

Chapter 01
Design & Philosophy
The 928 II pays homage to the original EMT 928, the only belt-driven model in the brand's legendary broadcast history. By combining this classic topology with modern high-mass construction and advanced battery-powered drive circuits, EMT has created a reference-grade instrument that thrives in a contemporary home environment.

Chapter 02
Build & Materials
Every aspect of the 928 II reflects a commitment to uncompromising material science. The chassis is machined from solid aluminium and rests on four decoupled, spherical feet to ensure maximum isolation. Its internal 20-watt motor is specifically selected to move the massive 5.5kg platter with instant torque and minimal noise.

Sonic Signature
Listeners can expect a presentation that is both articulate and deeply engaging. The 928 II avoids the common pitfalls of excessive coloration, opting instead for a neutral, fleshy, and highly detailed sound that remains poised even during complex musical passages. It is a conduit for the performance, extracting the nuance and pace of every groove.
