Description: DescriptionLimited to 500 pieces worldwide ―SPU ethos that has been refined over time― For Ortofon, SPU is more than just a "needle." More than 60 years after its birth, this MC cartridge, which bears the acronym "Stereo Pick Up," continues to represent the "spirit" of Ortofon. It has a unique sound that is deep, sturdy, and lustrous. To this day, many people still swear that this is the sound of SPUs and ortofons, and by extension, the way analog sound should be. Introducing a model named after Ethos, the Greek word for "spirit", in the SPU series, which is truly the ultimate in analog. The biggest feature of SPU Ethos is that it uses the ultimate material, 8N ultra-high purity copper wire with a purity of 99.999999%, for the coil, giving it overwhelming expressive power. In addition, the use of a powerful neodymium magnet further deepens the SPU's deep and energetic sound. The spirit of this series that started with SPU Meister has been further sublimated as Meister Silver and Spirit, and has been inherited to the present day. And the spirit of SPU expresses its culmination with Ethos. specification Output voltage (1kHz, 5cm/sec.): 0.3mVChannel balance (1kHz): 1.0dBChannel separation (1kHz): 20dBChannel separation (15kHz): 10dBFrequency characteristics (20Hz-25,000Hz): ±2dBTracking ability (315Hz, proper stylus pressure): 70μmHorizontal compliance: 8μm/mNStylus type: Nude EllipticalStylus tip radius: r/R 8/18μmCantilever material: aluminumProper stylus pressure: 4.0gNeedle pressure range: 3.0-5.0gTracking angle: 20°Internal impedance: 3.5ΩRecommended load impedance: 10Ω or moreCoil wire material: 8N high purity copper wireCartridge shell material: wood powder and resin composite materialWeight: 32gShippingWe attach the tracking number to all items.
