We will release this cartridge as a new product under the name PP-2000.

New design of magnetic circuit

We have reviewed the magnetic circuit of PP-1000 and designed a new yoke shape while retaining the permendur magnetic material. As a result, we have succeeded in achieving even higher efficiency and a shape with excellent magnetic field uniformity. Increased output is achieved without increasing the weight of the vibration system.

New design of vibration system

The vibration system has been newly designed to achieve the best balance of sound quality. The damping material is selected and the damping characteristics are newly designed to further improve the reproduction of weak sounds and even reproduce the feeling of air.

Inheriting high-quality sound materials

It inherits the high sound quality materials proven in other models including the PP-1000, such as the cantilever made of solid boron material, which has been well-regarded, the power generation coil made of 6N oxygen-free copper wire, the pure iron coil bobbin, and the wire damper. . The body continues to use the well-established DLC (Diamond Like Carbon) treatment*. It has excellent rigidity and vibration damping characteristics, achieving clear sound quality.

*DLC (Diamond Like Carbon) is a general term for carbon thin films that are synthesized by vapor phase synthesis using ions and have high hardness and electrical insulation properties similar to diamond.
