VICTOR/JVC MC-1

Commentary

MC type cartridge with direct coupling system.

Victor's original direct couple system is adopted.
This system uses a microcoil developed by our proprietary technology applying IC manufacturing methods. This coil is approximately 1 / 100 lighter than conventional wound coils. The coil is placed close to the needle tip, which was impossible with conventional coils. This reduces transmission loss and phase disturbance from the principle itself.

The cantilever uses a beryllium cantilever.
