The Mono CG 65 DI MKII is an SPU-style Moving Coil (MC) cartridge with a spherical stylus profile, for the playback of early 65µm mono and 78rpm recordings.
The CG 65 DI MKII provides an authentic method of playing back these early recordings with a remarkable level of sonic accuracy, regardless of the materials used to manufacture these discs.
This cartridge features a 1.5mV output, which makes it suitable for use with a variety of medium-gain moving coil transformers.
