Commentary
MM type cartridge with improved characteristics by realizing a light mass vibration system.
By combining a light alloy pipe cantilever with an outer diameter of 0.5 mm and a thickness of 40 μ m with a titanium-based diamond needle, a vibration system with a light weight of 0.6 mg has been realized.
Since sufficient compliance is provided in the vertical direction, the distortion of the rear component of matrix 4 ch with large vertical amplitude is reduced.
