Commentary
Samarium-cobalt magnet (maximum energy product : 20x106G / Oe) adopted 4 ch MM type cartridge.
Lightweight titanium pipe cantilever with excellent tracing capability is adopted.
It uses a low-inductance power generation structure that accurately catches up to ultra-high frequencies of 50 kHz or more, and a one point support actuator support structure with excellent separation and response in ultra-high frequencies.
