xtraX MC Cartridge
A Pinnacle in Moving Coil Cartridge Mastery
XtraX stands as a groundbreaking evolution in moving coil cartridge design, surpassing expectations in every dimension. From its micro-elliptical nude diamond stylus and telescopic cantilever to the meticulously crafted single-piece aluminum chassis and four-point generator fixing, XtraX redefines sonic excellence.
features
- The body is precision CNC machined from solid aluminum alloy and hard anodized.
- Threaded body to accept the supplied stainless steel thumb screws for correct coupling of
the cartridge body to the tonearm headshell. - Three specifically designed contact points CNC machined into the top of the body that provide the exact mechanical coupling required.
- Alignment ridge on the front top that assists mounting XtraX to any Vertere tonearm.
- The low-mass generator utilizes a Samarium-Cobalt 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 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.
- Wideband frequency response of below 10Hz to 45kHz.
- Output of 0.45mV will provide a lifelike dynamic range with depth and precision.
