Vertere MG-1 MKII package
Record Player MG-1 RP Magic Groove
Taking vinyl replay beyond what’s possible in this turntable class, Record Player Magic Groove includes critical design elements of the SG-1 Player.
A superlative design, this record Player offers fabulous performance that’s bettered only by Vertere’s RG-1 Reference Groove and SG-1 Standard Groove.
As with all Vertere turntables, every individual part is custom built, and has been created using the optimum materials and highest precision standards.
The precision main bearing and platter assembly, belt-driven by the SG-1 motor system, ensures smoothest running and provides a stable platform for the tonearm and cartridge.
The Vertere MG-1 MKII package with matching SG-1 tonearm and Tempo Motor Drive is a delight to use.
Vertere SG-1 MKII Tonearm
Benefitting enormously from the work done in developing the Reference Tonearm, the Vertere SG-1 Tonearm provides unsurpassed performance in its class.
To achieve breath-taking musical performance, the Vertere SG-1 Tonearm utilises a combination of quality materials including roll-wrapped carbon-fibre, stainless steel, aluminium alloys and silicon nitride.
Its unique bearing design and versatile anti-skate adjustment make it an ideal partner for any high-quality turntable
Even in its standard form, with D-Fi tonearm cable and motor drive cable, the MG-1 provides a performance that is only bettered by the SG-1.
However, the upgradability that is built into this class-leading record player elevates its performance, step by step, closer to the SG-1.
Upgrade the tonearm and motor drive cables from D-Fi to Pulse-B, to Pulse-R and all the way to Pulse-HB, to realise the true potential of this deck.
Every step will provide an unparalleled musical experience and enjoyment that is only achievable from a Vertere record player.
Stylish and beautifully crafted with attention to the finest details, this record player is a must-have, and one that lovers of music on vinyl will cherish.

Main Bearing Assembly
The MG-1 main bearing is directly derived from the SG‐1 utilising exactly the same bearing spindle and ball with a phosphor bronze bearing housing machined using similar precision engineering techniques to their high standards.
The materials used and manufacturing to extreme engineering tolerances make the MG-1 main bearing silent, smooth running and second only to the SG-1.
MG‐1 main bearing is lubricated with Vertere proprietary formulated L‐1G record player main bearing oil for ultimate longevity.
Record Player Motor Assembly
Directly derived from the RG-1 and SG-1 motor assembly design, the MG-1 utilises a single precision bearing fitted to its dedicated aluminium alloy motor platform and motor bearing support.
This unique design keeps the motor continuously synchronous to provide a drive with constant belt tension.
Simply put, it drives the platter at constant speed without variation.
MG‐1 Turntable Main Platter
MG‐1 platter is a one piece aluminium alloy design based on the SG‐1 platter.
Only utilising the same precision machining techniques to their extremely high tolerances ensures the smoothest running of the platter and the required inertia that keeps speed constant.
Platter/Record interface is a 3mm bonded cast Acrylic disc as used on the SG‐1.
MG-1 MKII Motor Cover
The elegant silver anodised MG-1 Motor Cover is machined from solid aluminium alloy.
It makes accessibility and placement of the drive belt easy and a delight to use.
The cover also acts as a diffuser for the two illuminating LED lights, within the MG-1 Record Player, complementing its stunning looks.
Simple, elegant, beautiful.
TEMPO Motor Drive Power Supply
It is absolutely critical that the record player motor is powered and controlled faultlessly to ensure a full and musical performance of the record player.
The SG‐1 Motor Drive controls the motor perfectly and provides the platter with smooth and constant drive.
Elegant and simple to use with a ‘super charged’ engine under its bonnet!
