MT-100 and Replacement Needle
Commentary

MM type cartridge developed by inheriting the technology of the high-grade cartridge MT-202mkII.

An original one point pivot support system with good sound localization and separation is used for supporting the vibration system.
The magnetic circuit uses a samarium-cobalt disk magnet and an original C-shaped yoke with high power generation efficiency.

Magnesium alloy head shell is adopted.
