Product Outline and Concept

To respond to the demand for a new basic model of Phasemation cartridges, we will release the PP-200, which allows you to feel the essence of our top model. The PP-200 has been refined in detail while maintaining the basic performance. The PP-200 pursues the same sound image localization, spatial reproducibility, fresh mids and highs, and a rich bass that are inherited from the upper model.

Main feature

A powerful magnetic circuit adopting neodymium magnets.

Adopted neodymium magnets for the magnetic circuit. Brought about an increase in output along with powerful sound quality.

Improved the tracking ability due to reexamining the vibration system.

Improved the vibration system which enhanced the tracking ability. Improved the tracing capability.

Diamond tips and boron cantilevers used on the upper models are inherited to this cartridge.

Inherited high sound quality materials that were proven in PP-2000 and other models such as diamond stylus tips, cantilevers made of solid boron material, and 6N oxygen-free copper wires for the generator coil.

A new generation body structure.

Adopted a newly shaped body to control unwanted vibrations and achieved a direct sound quality.
