Low cost, high performance, high output moving coil cartridge with nude natural diamond Shibata-stylus.
HANA-SHBuilding upon a decade of critical acclaim, the Hana E Series MK II elevates both value and performance by integrating trickled-down technological advancements from Hana’s flagship Umami and M Series cartridges. Handcrafted in Yokohama, Japan, by the master artisans at Excel Sound, the MK II represents the next step in analog refinement, delivering exceptional trackability, vibrant musicality, and effortless setup.
The EH (Elliptical High output) offers 2.0mv/1KHz output, if you require a lower output please see the EL MK II offers 0.4mV/1KHz.
Key Features:
- High-output (2mV/1KHz) moving coil generator, wired for direct use with a standard MM phono stage
- Brass cap body with threaded mounting holes, shared with the Hana M Series, for a more rigid tonearm fit
- Elastomeric body coating for additional mechanical resonance control
- Cryogenically treated yoke, pole pieces and gold-plated terminal pins for improved signal transfer
- Classic Alnico magnet and aluminium cantilever construction
- Synthetic elliptical diamond stylus
