Note: This is a shell-integrated cartridge, so it is exclusively for universal tonearms.

The fixed part of Amane's power generating mechanism uses a special damping alloy that has the highest vibration and sound absorption ability, achieving sound quality with clearer sound contours. The exterior material is precision machined from solid aluminum, hand buffed and finished with metallic alumite. The stylus tip is a microridge type solid diamond, and the magnet is a neodymium magnet. The cantilever is made of boron, which is advantageous for vibration transmission. The connector and contacts are gold plated, and the internal wiring uses 6N leads. It was developed with the idea of reproducing dynamic and rich sounds and making listening to recorded music more enjoyable. IKEDA Amane has been carefully adjusted and assembled over time to bring out the charm of the music itself.
