M97xE Audiophile Phono Cartridge
Overview
--------
The M97xE is a superb smooth-sounding phonograph cartridge
designed to provide long hours of undistorted listening, without
iguing the ear. Its highly precise tracking ability and flat
frequency response are made possible by Shure's unique Type II
low-mass thin-wall aluminum alloy stylus cantilever, combined
with a precision-crafted, finely polished, elliptical diamond
tip.
This cartridge is able to accurately reproduce very difficult
musical passages, particularly in the high-frequency range, where
audio modulations are the smallest and most concentrated, and
stylus tip movement is consequently the most rapid.
Features
--------
* Stylus Mass: Very Low
* Diamond Stylus Tip: Elliptical
* Sound Accuracy: Very High
* Record Wear: Very Low
* Key Features: Dynamic Stabilizer Brush
Dynamic Stabilizer
------------------
The Shure exclusive viscous-damped Dynamic Stabilizer maintains a
uniform distance between the cartridge and the record under
difficult playing conditions, even those caused by warped records
or mismatched tonearm mass. When such stabilization is not
required, the stabilizer brush can be locked up into its detent
position, which, under ideal playing conditions, can provide even
better sound quality.
Side-Guard Stylus Protection System
-----------------------------------
The innovative protection system helps to limit stylus damage if
the cartridge accidentally slides across a record. This unique
feature responds to side thrusts on the stylus by momentarily
forcing the stylus cantilever and tip upward so that the
cantilever does not bend sideways.
Die Cast Aluminum ing Block
--------------------------------
Ensures secure, vibration-free attachment to the tonearm.
Included Accessories
--------------------
Headshell screwdriver, Stylus cleaning brush, ing hardware,
Stylus guard.
