Description of item

■Stylus and power generation circuit

・The power generation mechanism is an MC type that can reduce the weight of the armature.

・Uses a Shibata needle with less auditory noise and more information.

・Uses an aluminum cantilever that is compatible with the Shibata needle and produces a straightforward tone.

・The LR generator coil is symmetrically wound in a series-wound cross-shaped coil to reduce weight and reduce sensitivity differences between channels.

・Magnetic circuit structure with small loop area to reduce intrusion of external noise

・The coil uses UEW with a diameter of 30 μm, which is the thinnest in the range that is resistant to disconnection, and the direction of the wire is fixed.

・Low distortion structure that uses a single point support method using piano wire to clarify the point of vibration system

■Body structure and design

・The stylus unit is considered to be acoustically equivalent to a microphone, and resonance and reflected sound around the unit are thoroughly suppressed.

・Beside the stylus unit, there is an outer wall that also protects the cantilever.

・Structural walls with inverted egg-shaped curves to reduce resonance and reflected sound

・Body structure stripped down to only the base and minimal outer walls to reduce weight and prevent resonance
