AWARD

The MC cartridge that every audiophile
should have

Machiavelli is unparalleled in guaranteeing high-quality audio performance. Enclosed in an elegant alloy body, this cartridge offers surprising fluidity and extended dynamics, which make it an undisputed reference point in the MC cartridge field.

As the result of a decade of research and development, the Machiavelli MkII is designed to satisfy even the most demanding enthusiast: thanks to its superb dynamic performance and perfect smoothness, listening to an LP will no longer be the same experience.

The cartridge is available in two models: Gold, with a low output level of 0.4mV; and Red, with an output level of 0.5mV. The extra rigid cantilever of the cartridge mounts high precision diamonds – Line Contact cut on the Gold model and Micro Elliptical on the Red model – both born from the collaboration with Ogura, one of the best diamond producers in the world.
