The PRESTIGE cartridge series is designed for high output voltage (i.e. ideal for MM phono inputs) and excellent stability characteristics even under difficult conditions. A significant reduction of the effective moving mass achieved on the basis of GRADO technology results in a remarkable frequency response up to 50 kHz and beyond. At the same time, the contact force of 1 to 2 grams remains within the range that is gentle on records. Recommended for tonearms from 10 to 18 grams.
