MCX1
The Acoustic Signature MCX1 is a modern moving-coil cartridge, manufactured according to the latest technologies – the optimal partner for our NEO tonearm series. An elliptical stylus assuring precise tracking results, copper coils and a CNC-milled and resonance-optimized chassis developed according to the finite element design principle form the basis for a true all-rounder.
Special features:
- Modern MC cartridge with copper coils
- Resonance-optimized aluminum chassis
- Easy mounting
- Precise tracking due to elliptical stylus
- Suitable for medium to high mass tonearms
