Michell Cusis M Low Output Moving Coil Cartridge PrecisionThe Michell Cusis M serves as the flagship reference in this moving coil range. Furthermore, it combines incredible detail with a neutral presentation to ensure you only hear the music. This cartridge uses a boron cantilever paired with an ultra-precise Microline stylus for superior tracking. Consequently, the assembly retrieves every nuance from your vinyl grooves with ease.EngineeringAt the heart of the design, you will find a samarium-cobalt magnet combined with pure iron. This creates a stable magnetic field for the ultra-lightweight armature. Additionally, the coils are precision wound using 30μ pure copper wire to reduce moving mass. Because the damper provides perfect support, the stylus tracks the most complex passages accurately.ResonanceA large aluminium chassis provides a rigid platform for all internal components. Moreover, the body is constructed from carbon-loaded acrylic to dampen unwanted vibrations effectively. This material choice ensures that resonance does not colour the delicate audio signal. Therefore, the listener enjoys unrivalled levels of neutrality and a truly open soundstage.PerformanceThe technical specifications demonstrate the high-end nature of this moving coil pickup. For instance, the frequency response extends up to 45kHz to capture all harmonic information. It also features a lower output of 0.25mV, which demands a high-quality phono stage. Finally, the carbon-loaded body keeps the weight at a manageable 8.1g for most tonearms.
