Tri-Point Contact Design
Engineered aluminium alloy body with three-point contact mounts ensures optimal alignment and maximum energy transfer for enhanced musical accuracy.
Micro Elliptical Stylus Profile
Precision-ground stylus with aluminium cantilever delivers ultra-responsive tracking and detailed retrieval from every groove, even deep into the record.
Moving Coil Excellence
Low-mass generator assembly using rare earth magnets and precision-wound coils ensures outstanding dynamics, clarity and channel separation.
The Vertere Mystic II Moving Coil Phono Cartridge is designed and manufactured to exacting standards to provide an uncompromising musical experience.
The body is machined from solid Aluminium alloy and mass tuned to the generator for optimum support and control of unwanted mechanical vibrations. The body is threaded to accept the two supplied stainless steel thumb screws that are also designed for correct coupling of the cartridge body to the tonearm head-shell.
Machined on top of the Mystic cartridge are three specifically designed contact points that provide the exact mechanical coupling required by the Mystic cartridge.
In addition, there is also an alignment ridge on the front top that assists with the mounting of the Mystic to any complementing Vertere tonearm.
The generator utilises a Samarium-Cobalt magnet with a Cross coil made of pure copper wires.
The aluminium tube cantilever supports a Micro Elliptical bonded diamond stylus tip that is designed for maximum tractability without compromising on high frequency response or increased surface noise.
This provides a wide band frequency response of below 10Hz to 40kHz that coupled with an output of 0.5mV will provide a lifelike dynamic range with depth and precision.
Mystic II cartridges are covered by a 5-year extended warranty - for the extended warranty to be valid, you must register the product with Vertere Acoustics.
