Detailed Description
Nude Elliptical Stylus
The MCX2 features a nude elliptical stylus, which enables precise groove tracking and excellent retrieval of musical detail. This stylus shape reduces distortion and enhances transient response, ensuring a smooth and dynamic performance across all musical genres.
High-Purity Silver Coils
Unlike conventional MC cartridges, the MCX2 employs 4N silver coils, known for their excellent conductivity and ability to deliver a highly detailed sound signature. This design enhances signal integrity, allowing for an expressive and engaging audio presentation.
Resonance-Optimized Aluminum Chassis
The CNC-milled aluminum chassis is engineered using finite element design principles, which help minimize unwanted resonances. This ensures a purer sound output, allowing the music to shine without coloration or distortion.
Optimized Frequency Response
The MCX2’s slightly rolled-off high frequencies lend a velvety smooth timbre, preventing harshness while maintaining detail and transparency. This characteristic balances well with turntables that offer an energetic and dynamic playback, resulting in a rich and well-defined soundstage.
Easy Installation & Compatibility
Designed for medium to high mass tonearms, the MCX2 is easy to mount and configure. Its robust construction and precise tracking force range allow for flexible setup, ensuring optimal performance across various high-fidelity turntable systems.
