Benz Micro MC Gold Phono Cartridge

The entry models to the Benz Micro line provide the musicality we are famous for combined with affordability and a wide range of turntable/tonearm compatibility.
The Benz Micro MC Gold is a low output moving coil at .4mV at 3.54cm/sec, perfectly suited for moving coil phono stages with 60dB or higher gain. The Silver high output (2.5mV at 3.54cm/sec) is ideal for m type phono stages, low-gain tube phono stages and AV systems. These models let you enjoy the Benz Micro sound and provide an upgrade path to the Swiss hand-made cartridges.

Benz Micro applies very specific requirements in terms of tracking force, weight, impedance, output and compliance. 

The design of the Benz Micro MC Gold is true to the brand’s values, using the best components to achieve the best results in terms of dynamics and timbre.

Coils and Needle:

The coils are made up of a high purity and very thin copper conductor and powerful neodymium magnets.

The high quality elliptical stylus is combined with an aluminium cantilever.
