1. History
Fifty years ago, EMT introduced the turntable model 928 in combination with the tonearm 929.
This turntable was produced in cooperation for the Swiss brand THORENS as well, and it was
the only EMT–turntable with belt drive system. The compact machine was in use for broadcast
work outside the studio or in an OB van.
The current Swiss EMT team is led by Micha Huber and was involved in the R&D at EMT for up-
coming turntable projects since more than ten years. We are glad to introduce the first out-
come of this effort: the Battery Powered Precision Turntable EMT 928 II.

The EMT 928 II is a massive built precision
turntable with an overall weight of 23kg. The
chassis is machined from aluminium, resting
on four decoupled, spherical feet. With three
platter speeds (33 ⅓, 45 & 78 rpm) is the
unit prepared to play all kind of records. It is
a perfect match for the currently released
EMT 9–inch tonearm and all EMT cartridges.
The new turntable features an independent
battery power source which allows more than
40 hours playing time while being fully dis-
connected from the mains. Therefore, any in-
terference from the power grid is excluded.
The built–in charger circuit handles the charg-
ing cycles automatically and shows the sta-
tus with a two–colour LED.
As a homage to the original EMT 928, the ro-
tation power is transmitted by a belt. A most
modern 20 Watts motor is combined with a
high–precision control loop circuit in a com-
pact assembly, to ensure short signal paths
and to minimize interference. This design al-
lows to speed up the 5,5kg platter in a short
time and keep the platter speed constant
within a narrow tolerance–field.
