This configuration resolves the challenges of playing the inner grooves with the same level of confidence as the outer. How did we do this? The unique stylus shape of our CL stylus has a “sharper” playing surface on the faceted diamond, allowing it to ride easily in the groove modulations of even the most difficult passages and high frequency information that other cartridges simply cannot trace. The result - a truly superb cartridge, surpassing top MC designs with air, focus and sound staging no cartridge at this price should be able to achieve.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecs\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCartridge Type: Fixed Coil\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOutput: High\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAvailable As Dual Coil Mono: Yes\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eStylus: Contact Line Nude, 0.100mm SQ\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRadius of curvature: OCL (Optimized Contour Contact Line)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCantilever: Ruby\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRecommended tracking force: 10mN \/ 1.0 gm (high), 13mN \/ 1.3 gm (medium)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEffective tip mass: 0.30 mg\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCompliance: 28 μm\/mN (high), 22 μm\/mN (medium)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFrequency response: 20-20,000 Hz ± 2.5 dB\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eChannel separation (stereo only): 1000 Hz \u0026gt;30 dB, 50-15,000 \u0026gt;20 dB\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eChannel difference: \u0026lt;1.0 dB (Stereo), \u0026lt;1.0 dB (Mono)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOutput voltage (Aida): 2.12 mV\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCartridge weight: 6.8 grams\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLoading (Aida): ≥ 47 kΩ\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Soundsmith","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56215614194050,"sku":null,"price":1999.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0954\/6652\/0962\/files\/SoundSmith_Aida_Final-2.jpg?v=1768427849","url":"https:\/\/premiumhomeaudio.co.uk\/products\/soundsmith-aida-cartridge","provider":"Premium Home Audio","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
