MM cartridges - proven technology for musical sound

They combine sonic clarity with easy handling and offer an ideal balance between richness of detail, dynamics and value for money. They are the first choice for beginners, intermediates and music lovers with flexible listening habits.
How does a moving magnet cartridge work?
In a moving magnet cartridge, a small magnet is attached directly to the stylus unit. When the stylus moves through the groove, the magnet changes the magnetic field within a coil - and thus generates the music signal. This design ensures robustness, reliable tracking and easy needle replacement - ideal for long-term use and occasional upgrades.

Thanks to interchangeable stylus options, many systems can also be fine-tuned in terms of sound.
What should you look out for when buying?
When buying a new MM cartridge, the stylus cut, the weight, the compatibility with the tonearm and the design all play an important role. Systems with an elliptical or specially ground stylus offer better stylus tracking and sound depth. If you adjust your system precisely, you will be rewarded with an open, natural reproduction.
