This is the mono version of the 'S' series of cartridges from Hana. The 'S' referring to the Shibata nude (one piece) diamond used, which is mounted on an Aluminium cantilever. The housing is made from rigid composite material and inside the magnets are made of Alnico, a material prized for its grain free and natural sound.
The mk2 version features many advances over the rightly very popular original. The cantilever is now made from a stiffer tapered aluminium, the housing has been redesigned and features a threaded brass top plate which adds some mass and enables a more rigid coupling to the headshell.
This mono cartridge is only available as a low output MC and is designed for playback of mono 33.3 and 45rpm records and not for 78s.
When the cartridge is worn, damaged or you simply want an upgrade then Hana offer a trade in scheme - this is currently an allowance equivalent to about 20% of the value of the Hana cartridge being traded in - please contact us for more details.
