{"product_id":"emt-tsd-novel-cartridge","title":"EMT TSD Novel Cartridge","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe TSD Novel is the Tondose reworked with EMT's Novel Technology — the multi-layer core transducer and the titanium\/sapphire cantilever assembly, in the broadcast Tondose body the studios installed in the tens of thousands from 1965 forward.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe body itself was revised in 2020: milled from a solid block of magnesium, chosen for the stiffness-to-mass ratio a broadcast cartridge asks for and the well-behaved resonance profile magnesium delivers when it is machined rather than cast. The 2021 Novel transducer sits inside that body — a multi-layer core generator, a titanium carrier holding a sapphire cantilever beam, an MR HP high-polish multi-radius diamond at the groove.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOutput transfer level is 0.21 mV\/cm. Coil impedance is 2 × 18 Ω per channel. Recommended load is 200 to 300 ohms. Tracking force is 2.2 grams. Weight is 17.5 grams. Compliance is 12 µm\/mN. Frequency response is 20 to 30,000 Hz, with the ±2 dB window from 40 to 12,500 Hz — the broadcast reference envelope.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe mount is a choice at order time. Standard is the direct EMT Tondose fitting for the EMT 909 or 912 professional tonearms. INT is a fitting compatible with Ortofon A mounts. X is a fitting compatible with SME. The generator is the same across all three; only the connection at the arm changes.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"EMT","offers":[{"title":"EMT (Standard)","offer_id":48938914185435,"sku":null,"price":6495.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"INT (Ortofon A compatible)","offer_id":48938914611419,"sku":null,"price":6495.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"X (SME compatible)","offer_id":48938914644187,"sku":null,"price":6495.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1363\/6553\/files\/d25f4f_e413181ff771497f8b270484a071d397_mv2.jpg?v=1783137560","url":"https:\/\/almaaudio.com\/products\/emt-tsd-novel-cartridge","provider":"Alma Music and Audio","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
