The Grado Red Moving Magnet Cartridge features a reconfigured coil design that reduces the effective moving mass of its generating system by 17 per cent. This significant reduction in mass allows the stylus to track delicate vinyl grooves with greater precision, providing clearer detail retrieval and improved transient response across all musical genres. Built for vinyl enthusiasts seeking refined sound reproduction, this MM design highlights Grado's commitment to balanced acoustic engineering.
Optimised Signal Transfer:
Equipped with four-piece OTL cantilever technology and high-purity oxygen-free wire in the coils, these Phono Cartridges maintain signal purity from the record surface directly to your amplifier. The specially designed elliptical diamond stylus is mounted on a durable brass bushing, ensuring consistent groove contact while minimising unwanted resonance. As a popular instock choice among Phono Cartridges-MM options, the design balances mechanical stability with open, natural sound dynamics.
Selected for Precision Performance:
To ensure strict quality control, each Red1 model (designated code Red) is individually selected from the standard Blue1 production batch. Only approximately 10 per cent of all manufactured units meet the stringent testing specifications required to earn the Red1 designation. This precise screening process guarantees lower distortion, superior channel separation, and enhanced tonal balance for demanding listening environments.
- 17% Mass Reduction: Allows the stylus to react faster to subtle groove details for accurate sound reproduction.
- Four-Piece OTL Cantilever: Dampens unwanted internal vibrations to deliver a cleaner audio signal.
- Elliptical Diamond Stylus: Tracks record grooves precisely while reducing vinyl wear over time.
- Oxygen-Free Copper Coils: Preserves signal integrity for crisp, transparent high frequencies.
- Strict Production Selection: Ensures only the top 10 per cent of units meeting higher test standards are selected.
