Product Description
“Hana” means brilliant and gorgeous. Designed and built in Tokyo by the veteran cartridge manufacturer Excel Sound Corporation, the Hana EL cartridge has a synthetic Elliptical diamond stylus fitted to a high rigidity aluminum cantilever with cross-shaped armature, offering super transparency and excellent trackability. The body is manufactured from a composite low resonance plastic material in dark green.
This competitively priced Low output moving coil cartridge offers great quality sound referenced against similar priced cartridges.
The EL (Elliptical Low output) offers 0.5mv/1KHz output
The EH (Elliptical High output) offers 2mv output
The Hana Series has been developed with significance placed on easy use and set-up, as well as high performance reproduction. Hana's high output versions, EH and SH, supply 2mV output, so that they can be directly connected to MM phono input for vinyl reproduction.
