Nagaoka MP-MONO MM Phono Cartridge
The Nagaoka MP-MONO is a specialized moving permalloy cartridge crafted exclusively for the playback of monaural vinyl records. Designed for discerning listeners who appreciate the richness and intimacy of mono recordings, the MP-MONO delivers a warm, full-bodied sound that captures every nuance of vintage and modern mono pressings alike.
Unlike stereo cartridges used in mono mode, the MP-MONO features a single vertically integrated coil system that’s optimized for horizontal groove modulation, exactly how mono records were cut. This ensures true mono signal reproduction without crosstalk or phase inaccuracies, resulting in a more focused soundstage and significantly lower surface noise.
