Designed
for the Purist: Clean and Integrated Structure
Resonance
characteristics of the chassis dominate the eventual sound quality
of audio equipment. With this in mind, and with 25 years at
the leading edge of audio innovation, we simplified the structure
of the MTB-4 and MTB-6 to a minimum in order to avoid internal
resonance - since every little component has its own resonance
frequency.
We
also conducted extensive research in selecting perfect materials
for each section, together with detailed analysis of component
compatibility, even down to the screws and washers. We went
even further to harmonize the components by applying our own
proprietary heat treatment process to each and every part.
Together
with our own internal wiring system and original super receptacles,
we have realized the ultimate power distribution system for
Audiophiles.

MTB-6

Main
Chassis
2.0mm thick brass plate formed into a special shape for rigidity,
speed and good internal energy absorption properties. The plate
is coated with extra thick layers of non-electrolytic nickel ground
plating, and then finished with chrome plating to further enhance
its rigidity and speed characteristics. This also has the effect
of improving shielding against wider range E.M.I.

MT-UB
Available
to the DIY enthusiast and manufacturers alike is the MT-UB
Chassis with a choice of IEC inlet or cable clamp hardware
for direct wiring.
|
|
Internal
Wiring
2.0mm
dia., high purity (4N) solid Silver, extensively annealed in
low temperature to remove mechanical distortion/stress from
the extrusion process. We then apply a further highly controlled
process in order to produce a smoother and stronger surface
for distortion free electron transmission. This also has the
effect of eliminating any mechanical weakness caused by the
annealing process.
These
carefully developed processes enable the Silver to break through
to a new level of sound quality. This is further enhanced by
independent internal connection to each outlet in order to avoid
cross-talk and to ensure evenness. All connections are Lead
free.

Further
Resonance Control
The
main body/insulator is made of Nylon with glass filler mixed
in; this ensures high heat resistance, rigidity and a high resonance
absorption factor. We also avoided common rubber feet, instead
using 4 Brass spikes which can easily be changed to a 3 foot
configuration by relocating them.

Electrical
Contacts (Receptacle)
We
tested every possible option for this crucial part and concluded
that highly polished deoxidized Phosphor Bronze would be optimal
as a base material to provide the most secure and least resonant
contact. The finishing touches, which determine the final sound
quality, are to directly apply an extra thick (1.5 micron) Silver
directly to the Bronze substrate, polish the surface twice and
finally apply a layer of Rhodium (0.3). This process is strictly
controlled for optimum balance and quality of sound. These contacts
are supported by 24K Gold plated non-magnetic brass fittings.

Electromagnetic
Interference Control
The
mains inlet area is protected by an EMI absorbing layer.
