Commentary
T4P type MM type cartridge.
The MID impedance type cartridge has an impedance between the low impedance type cartridge such as a manual control system and the normal MM type cartridge. This type of cartridge is easy to play with the MM terminal equipped with a general amplifier, and it can play stably without being affected by the capacitive load.
TMZ-22E uses an elliptical needle, and TMZ-22S uses a stereohydron needle.
By attaching a dedicated adapter, it can be attached to a general tone arm.
