The A33EV is an elliptical, ½ inch standard format (0.3 x 0.7 mil) cartridge whose robust duralumin needle shaft perfectly compensates for the inertia of the entire system. The dual moving coil design generates its own voltage per channel, which enables precise stereo separation, and the elliptical needle grind ensures an exceptionally wide (15 Hz - 50 kHz!) and linear frequency response. But it is only when all components work together - from the powerful neodymium magnet to the high-quality PCOCC copper conductors - that this system unfolds its extraordinary sound fidelity and dynamics. The great advantage of elliptical needles is reflected in the particularly full midrange and bass reproduction. The elliptical needle is embedded in a hollow needle carrier made of hardened duralumin. Due.
