Pick it PRO Balanced MM Phono Cartridge
The Problemā¦
To achieve their relatively high output voltage, MM cartridges require far more coil windings. This means thereās a much greater length of metal through which the signal must travel. This in turn amounts to higher internal impedance values relative to MC cartridges and greater susceptibility to interference. To stave of noise & interference, most all the moving magnet cartridges on the market use a generator shield thatās tied to the right channel ground. As such, balanced signal transmission from the cartridge is no longer attainable.
ā¦and the Solution
To solve this problem, Pro-Ject Audio Systems has teamed up with Ortofon to develop a new MM cartridge design that does not associate the generator shield with the right channel ground. Long & short, Pick it PRO Balanced sends a symmetrical signal that, with a Pro-Ject True Balanced turntable, phono preamp & cable, delivers the balanced audio experience starting from a moving magnet phono cartridge ā an industry first!
