Karat 17DX
DV – KARAT 17DX
Low output level—0.3 mV. Diamond cantilever.
KARAT is the first cartridge designed using scattering theory, which has made it possible to significantly expand the frequency response in the high-frequency range. Equipped with a Micro-Ridge stylus with a cross-sectional area of 0.06 mm², mounted on a very short (1.7 mm long) diamond cantilever, it significantly reduces frequency dispersion and dynamic mismatch.The patented magnetic system consists of a coil with a cross-sectional area of 0.9 mm² and a thickness of 0.4 mm, comprising 70 turns per channel, wound with wire having a diameter of 11 microns. Thanks to this highly precise mechanical design, it has become possible to achieve a flat frequency response up to 30 kHz. The use of a very powerful neodymium magnet, combined with a patented magnetic flux damping system, eliminates sound coloration and contouring.
