MC Phono Cartridges
The Donatello MC cartridge is a remarkable feat of engineering and one of the best-sounding cartridges of its category. The ultra-light machined body (only 7 grams) is elegantly shaped to dampen unwanted vibrations. Its high-precision Micro-Elliptical diamond, developed in collaboration with Adamant-Namiki, takes advantage of solutions from our flagship models to deliver top audio performances. As with all our cartridges, the Donatello is available in two models: Gold with a low output level and Red with a high output level made to be easily driven even by MM phono stages.
