Detailed Description

New Super-Elliptical Nude Diamond Stylus

The E4 features a nude super-elliptical stylus, cut and polished from a single diamond piece. This stylus, with dimensions of 7.6 x 18 microns (0.3 x 0.7 mil), offers lower effective tip mass, improved rigidity, and better high-frequency detail retrieval compared to bonded elliptical alternatives. It minimizes distortion and enhances transient response, contributing to a flat frequency response and superior sound fidelity.

Hollow Aluminium Cantilever

The E4 incorporates a hollow aluminum cantilever tube, which is both lightweight and rigid. This construction allows the stylus to trace medium-to-high frequencies with greater accuracy, reducing distortion and mis-tracking. The enhanced stiffness of the cantilever ensures precise audio reproduction.

Magnetic Duplex Technology™

E4 employs Magnetic Duplex Technology™ to improve stereo separation and soundstage accuracy. This technology positions two low-mass magnets at specific angles, matching the coils, to interact only with their corresponding coils. This setup reduces crosstalk and allows for more accurate transcription of the stereo groove.

Expert Adjustment Facility

The E4 is designed to allow micro-adjustments during the production process, ensuring optimal azimuth alignment. This feature guarantees that each cartridge leaves the factory with fine-tuned channel balance and minimized crosstalk, essential for turntables that do not offer azimuth adjustment capabilities.
