Hana Umami Blue Low Output MC Cartridge

The vinyl record groove holds an incredible amount of musical detail, and reading those micro-grooves accurately requires precision engineering. As a Low Output MC design among high-performance Phono Cartridges, the Hana Umami Blue converts mechanical vibrations into clean electrical signals with minimal distortion, ensuring your record collection sounds natural, warm, and engaging.

The sculpted Auricle body design is CNC machined from rigid Duralumin, providing a stable foundation that damps unwanted resonances before they can interfere with the audio signal. Inside this enclosure, an Alnico magnet generator drives high-purity copper coils, delivering high signal clarity and dynamic energy across the entire frequency range.

To maintain accurate contact with the record groove, the assembly features a micro-polished precision diamond stylus bonded to a solid Boron cantilever. This combination tracks complex passages effortlessly, reducing wear on your vinyl while capturing subtle micro-dynamics, vocal textures, and deep bass notes. Hand-built by experienced craftspeople at Excel Sound in Japan, this unit delivers reliable acoustic performance for vinyl enthusiasts seeking an authentic listening experience.
