Grado Statement 3 MC Cartridge

Crafted by hand at Grado Labs, the Statement 3 wooden housing delivers a warm, natural acoustic tone by damping unwanted micro-vibrations before they reach your tonearm. Designed for vinyl enthusiasts seeking dynamic clarity, this fixed coil design functions with the output characteristics of an MC Cartridge, extracting subtle nuances from deep within record grooves. By encasing the internal generator within a cured wooden body, chassis resonances are kept to a minimum, resulting in balanced and organic sound reproduction.

Optimised Magnetics and Precision Coils:

Unlike standard cartridge designs, this unit uses a single-piece magnetic circuit structure. Eliminating unnecessary joints keeps the internal assembly rigid, which directly prevents mechanical distortion. Within the generator assembly, ultra-high purity long crystal oxygen-free copper wire is precisely wound around the coils to ensure pristine signal conductivity. This makes it an outstanding choice among premium Phono Cartridges, allowing delicate acoustic instruments and vocals to maintain their natural presence.

Advanced Cantilever and Stylus Calibration:

The internal assembly features multi-piece OTL cantilever technology designed to reduce tip mass, allowing the diamond stylus to track complex record grooves with minimal tracing error. Each unit undergoes individual calibration to guarantee precise channel balance and accurate stereo separation. Whether integrated into a system tailored for Phono Cartridges-MC or specialized Phono Cartridges-MC-Low Output preamps, this refined component delivers reliable performance across all musical genres, making it an excellent instock upgrade for any high-end analogue turntable.
