High Output MC Cartridges

A high-output moving coil cartridge is the way into moving coil playback with no additional gear. Its output is high enough for a standard moving magnet (MM) phono input, so it needs no step-up transformer and no dedicated MC phono stage.

The SL1 MKII gives 2.5 mV into the 47 kOhm MM input you already own. As in every Le Son cartridge, tiny coils on the cantilever turn the groove into signal with nothing in between. Its sound is clear, warm and enveloping. It comes with a 60‑day home evaluation and a 2‑year warranty, and we check the match with your tonearm and phono stage before you order.
