Grado Master 3 MC Cartridge

Advanced Cantilever Design for Precise Tracking:

Extracting subtle micro-details from vinyl record grooves requires a lightweight, highly responsive moving system. The Grado MC Cartridge architecture incorporates a five-piece OTL cantilever system that cuts tip mass by an extra 5 per cent compared to previous generation designs. By reducing effective moving mass, the stylus tracks complex high-frequency passages with extraordinary accuracy, ensuring your record collection plays back with clear definition. Whether integrated alongside a Master 2 setup or standard Phono Cartridges-MC designs, this reduced tip mass allows the needle to follow swift groove modulations without distortion.

Ultra-Pure Copper Coils for Uncompromised Signal Transfer:

Inside the handcrafted wooden housing, ultra-high purity long crystal oxygen-free copper wire is meticulously wound around the internal coil structures. This high-grade conductor wire removes microscopic crystal boundaries that can smear delicate musical details, preserving full signal integrity from the record groove to your amplifier input. As a dedicated option within high-performance Phono Cartridges, this design avoids unwanted colouration while maintaining a rich, full-bodied tonal balance across all musical genres.

Precision Diamond Stylus and Individual Calibration:

Every unit features a specially engineered nude elliptical diamond stylus tip, designed to sit deep within the record groove to retrieve subtle acoustic information. Each MC generator system undergoes individual hand-calibration to guarantee balanced channel separation and linear frequency response. This rigorous testing ensures that every unit listed instock meets strict acoustic standards, providing reliable, high-resolution playback for discerning vinyl enthusiasts.
