Hana SL MKII MC Cartridge

• The new cartridges feature upgrades to the previous S Series.
  
• For the new Hana S Series MKII Cartridges master cartridge designer Maseo Okada has implemented a new tapered Aluminium cantilever with increased rigidity.
  
• HANA S SERIES MKII CARTRIDGES
  The Hana S Series MKII Cartridges also feature higher specified parts, advanced materials, and unique technical processes from Hana’s higher-priced elite cartridge models, like the Hana Umami Blue.
  
• TAPERED ALUMINIUM CANTILEVER
  Hana S Series Mk II cartridges use a new tapered aluminium cantilever with higher rigidity, and effective mass reduction at the stylus tip.
  
• Critical parts, including the Yoke, Pole-pieces, and gold Terminal pins, have been cryogenically treated.
  
• NEW BODY SHAPE
  Hana SH MKII
  The improved, non-resonant body shape, modelled after the Hana M Series, is damped with a matte Soft Feel Black elastomeric resin paint, and features a brass cap with threaded cartridge mounting fittings.
  
• The heavier Mk II cartridges offer better coupling with expanded compatibility to a wider range of tonearms, than the previous generation.
  
• SL MKII GENERATOR
  The SL MK II generator, as found in the Umami Blue and ML, incorporates an Alnico magnet and cross-coil using high purity 30-micron copper wire with an 8Ω impedance.
  
• This improves signal to noise, and reduces moving mass for higher resolution and trackability, and optimises performance for a broader range of phono stages, says Hana.
