¥ 50,000 (released in December 1981)
Commentary
MC type cartridge with unique power generation structure and know-how cultivated in MM type.
A pure boron tapered pipe cantilever was adopted for the first time in the MC type, and an extremely small transducer effective mass of 0.098 mg was achieved.
A coreless twin-ring coil structure is adopted for the power generation system, which provides excellent characteristics and reduces magnetic loss and distortion.
Uses a special viscoelastic damper and TTDD that reduces unstable elements due to temperature changes from the cartridge.
