HANA SH MK II

The SH Mk II moving coil (MC) cartridge is an upgrade to the Hana SH. For this one, master cartridge designer Masao Okada has implemented a tapered aluminum cantilever with increased rigidity and

effective mass reduction at the nude diamond Shibata stylus tip. The cart’s non-resonant body shape, modeled after the Hana M series, is damped with a matte soft feel black elastomeric resin paint, and

features a brass cap with threaded cartridge mounting fittings. The heavier Mk II cartridge offers better coupling with wider compatibility to tonearms.The SH Mk II generator incorporates an Alnico magnet

and cross-coil using high-purity copper and 130Ω impedance.The SΗ Mk II’s pure iron yoke, pole pieces, and gold terminal pins have all been cryogenically treated for a more natural sound.
