Description The new high output Hana SH Mk II moving coil cartridge offers significant upgrades to improve musical performance and deliver exceptional value at the S series price point. Drawing on technologies and materials from Hana’s premium models, it delivers the signature “brilliant and gorgeous” sound while offering enhanced compatibility and functionality. Key Features Tapered Aluminium Cantilever: Increased rigidity for superior transfer of groove modulations from vinyl to the cartridge generator. Cryogenic Treatment: Critical components, including the yoke, pole-pieces, and gold terminal pins, are cryogenically treated for a more natural, refined sound. Non-Resonant Body Design: Inspired by the M Series, the body is damped with matte Soft Feel Black elastomeric resin paint and features a brass top cap for improved resonance control. Integral Threaded Mounting: A threaded brass mounting system ensures better coupling and enhanced bass response and dynamics. Alnico Magnet and Cross-Coil Design: Borrowed from the Umami Blue and M Series, the generator uses high-purity 30-micron copper wire with 130Ω impedance to improve signal-to-noise ratio and reduce moving mass. Enhanced Compatibility: Heavier Mk II body allows improved coupling and expanded compatibility with a wider range of tonearms. Optimised for MM Phono Stages: High resolution and traceability enhance performance when paired with MM phono stages. These refinements make the Hana SH Mk II an outstanding choice for those seeking high end sound at an accessible price point. Hana S Series In addition to the Hana SH Mk II high output moving coil cartridge, the Hana S-series includes the SL Mk II and SL Mono Mk II low output moving coil cartridges.
