Description

For nearly 60 years, Grado has been assembling high-quality phono cartridges by hand in Brooklyn, NY. The Prestige Black3 features a unique 3-piece cantilever and a proprietary Flux-Bridger generator, which is capable of higher resolution than standard moving magnet generators. These distinctive elements give Grado cartridges their signature warm sound and impactful bass. Cartridge comes with mounting hardware and stylus guard.

The Grado Prestige Black3 cartridge uses a three piece OTL cantilever with a Grado specific diamond mounted on a brass bushing. Grado’s OTL, or optimized transmission line, technology provides an ideal transfer of signal from the surface of the LP to the generator of the system. This technology rejects unwanted resonances and lowers distortion preserving the fundamental and harmonic frequencies of the music. This also helps keep noise generated by the motor system in the cartridge to a minimum. Grado’s OTL stylus/cantilever design makes records sound quieter, improves the height, width, and depth of the soundstage, and present more detail than previously obtainable.
