{"product_id":"emt-hmd-025-cartridge","title":"EMT HMD 025 Cartridge","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe HMD 025 is a hi-fi mono cartridge — a true mono generator, not a stereo cartridge summed to mono at the phono stage — built around the professional EMT technology that served broadcast studios for decades, in a body sized for a hi-fi tonearm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe stylus is a spherical diamond with a 25-micron tip radius — the correct profile for the mono records the mid-century broadcast archive is built on, and the profile that will track those grooves without penalty. The cantilever is aluminium. The coil is pure 4N copper. The magnet is AlNiCo, nickel-plated. The body is machined aluminium.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBecause the generator is a true mono coil rather than a stereo coil summed, the noise floor of a mono record played through the HMD 025 is markedly quieter than the same record played through a stereo cartridge with the two channels combined. Surface noise loses its stereo signature and settles behind the music.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOutput is 1 mV at 5 cm\/s. Coil impedance is 24 Ω. Recommended load is 200 to 300 ohms. Tracking force is 2.4 grams. Weight is 12 grams. Frequency response is 20 to 20,000 Hz.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"EMT","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48938913628379,"sku":null,"price":2195.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1363\/6553\/files\/emt-hmd-025-1_orig.jpg?v=1783137559","url":"https:\/\/almaaudio.com\/products\/emt-hmd-025-cartridge","provider":"Alma Music and Audio","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
