THE ORIGINAL MC CARTRIDGE
This cartridge meets the highest standard to guarantee top-quality audio performance. Housed in an elegantly shaped alloy body, the Machiavelli cartridge offers outstanding smoothness and extended dynamics making it the perfect tool to explore the vinyl collections.
The Machiavelli MkII cartridge distinguishes itself brilliantly thanks to its exceptional dynamic performances and engaging musicality that will make all of your LPs sound terrific.
TWO MODELS
The cartridge is available in two models, the Gold made with an output level of 0.4mV and the Red with an output level of 0.5mV.
Machiavelli MkII’s extra rigid cantilever handles a high-precision Line Contact diamond stylus-tip in the Gold model and a micro-elliptical diamond stylus-tip in the Red model, both developed in collaboration with Ogura, the inventor of the Line-Contact diamond stylus shape.
GREAT CARTRIDGES DESERVE GREAT TURNTABLES
