Commentary
MM type cartridge with aluminum light alloy pipe cantilever.
The vibration system uses a light alloy pipe cantilever with a thickness of 40 mm and an outer diameter of 0.6 mm φ and a special diamond needle (0.5 mil).
Furthermore, in order to prevent resonance caused by excessive movement other than music signals, the stylus tip and the press-fit magnet are formed in a straight line, which reduces interference between horizontal and vertical amplitude and reduces distortion.
To improve the high-frequency characteristics, the vibration system is designed to adjust the amount of braking.
