New / Hana SL MKII Mono // Low Output MC Cartridge / Shibata Diamond

Specially designed for mono playback, the Hana SL Mono excels in extracting fine details from the grooves of mono records. Its elliptical stylus and low-output configuration allow for precise tracking, resulting in a sound that is both warm and articulate. Expect a rich and focused soundstage with a detailed midrange, clear highs, and controlled bass, bringing a new depth and clarity to your mono recordings.

The MK II upgrade to the globally best-selling Hana S series cartridges enhances their musical performance and value. Master cartridge designer Masao Okada-san implements a new tapered Aluminum cantilever with increased rigidity, resulting in a remarkable improvement in transferring groove modulation from the vinyl record to the cartridge generator. The S Series Mk II cartridges feature higher specified parts, advanced materials, and unique technical processes from Hana’s higher-priced elite cartridge models, furthering the Hana “brilliant and gorgeous” sound.
