Moving Magnet catridge.
The MP-200 pickup offers a smooth and precise sound trough the hole frequency range.
The technical highlights here are the use of a low-mass boron cantilever combined with a superfine polished elliptical diamond stylus tip. The cartridge’s internal generator is based around a powerful samarium-cobalt magnet and delivers a decent output of 4mV (1kHz, 5cm/s). There is nothing unusual in terms of loading required from the phono stage, which follows the moving magnet norm of 47kOhms or cartridge weight (6.5g).
