NEW
dark sabre MM Cartridge
Precision Redefined in Audio Artistry
Unveiling a paradigm shift in musical precision and definition, the Dark Sabre transcends expectations. Leveraging advancements from its successful sibling (Sabre MM), this cartridge boasts an innovative fixing formation, a unified single-piece chassis, and an enhanced profile for optimized weight distribution and surface traction.
features
- Aluminum alloy body CNC precision machined from solid then hard anodized black.
- The low-mass generator utilizes an Alnico magnet with a low-mass cross coil made of pure
virgin copper wires. - The low-mass generator is mounted into the high-mass body using a Quad-Point Contact
with Four Stainless’ Spike’ Screws for optimum support and control of unwanted mechanical
vibrations. - The body is mass-tuned to the generator for optimum support of unwanted energy
transfer. - The telescopic aluminum tube cantilever utilizing two different aluminum materials –
maximizes stiffness without a massive high Q peak. - Nude Micro Elliptical single crystal diamond stylus tip for maximum tracking ability without
compromising the high-frequency response or increasing surface noise. - Square shank diamond assembly maximizes alignment precision, consistency, and rigidity.
- Alignment ridge on the front top that assists mounting Sabre to any Vertere tonearm.
- Three specifically designed contact points CNC machined into the top of the body that
provide the exact mechanical coupling required. - Wideband frequency response of below 14Hz to above 28kHz
- Output of 4.3mV will provide a lifelike dynamic range with depth and precision.
