HANA SL MK II TAPERED CANTILEVER CARTRIDGE 0.4MV OUTPUT

For the HANA SL Mk II cart, master cartridge designer Masao Okada san has implemented a new tapered aluminum cantilever with increased rigidity and effective mass reduction at the nude diamond Shibata stylus tip. The cart’s non-resonant body shape, modeled 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 cartridge offer better coupling with expanded compatibility to a wider range of tonearms.

The SL Mk II generator, similar the company’s Umami Blue and ML carts, incorporates an Alnico magnet and cross-coil using high-purity 30μm copper wire with an 8Ω impedance.

The SL Mk II’s pure iron yoke, pole pieces, and gold terminal pins have all been cryogenically treated for a more natural sound quality.
