At its heart is an Alnico magnet-driven generator, individually aligned and bonded to a solid aluminium alloy body. This one-piece construction provides exceptional stability and control, minimising unwanted vibrations and enhancing musical detail across every record

The cartridge body is carefully machined to optimise mass and resonance control. Three precision contact points on the top surface ensure ideal mechanical coupling with the tonearm, while threaded mounting holes and Vertere's stainless steel thumb screws make installation secure and straightforward.

A subtle alignment ridge at the front of the body allows for easy setup on Vertere tonearms, ensuring perfect positioning every time. The bespoke telescopic aluminium cantilever and bonded Micro Elliptical diamond stylus offer superb tracking and extended high-frequency response, revealing the full character of your vinyl collection.

With the Sabre Lite, Vertere delivers a cartridge that transforms every listening session - bringing your favourite records to life with depth, clarity, and emotion.

Precision-engineered Telescopic Aluminium cantilever measuring 0.6mm in diameter is fitted with a through-fitted Micro Eliptical Diamond stylus tip, Bonded to Titanium shank.

Every Stylus-Cantilever is individually examined, aligned and positioned to maximise stereo performance.

Final assembly of each generator to the precision machined aluminium alloy body is carried out on special fixtures.

This ensures accurate and rigid coupling between the two for enhanced dynamics and resolution. Technical Specifications
