All Grado cartridges now use a derivation
of the moving iron principle which incorporate the following patented
inventions:
Grado's OTL provides an ideal transfer of the signal from point to point, e.g., stylus to cantilever to magnet to coils, etc. This has been achieved by eliminating resonance at each of these key junctions The transmission line cantilever consists of separate sections
that are telescoped into each other. All sections are made of different alloys,
some sections hollow, other sections solid. These sections are bonded together
with materials that act as dampers, and are coated with a black proprietary
material which controls and absorbs resonances that travel on the surface of
the cantilever (known as skin effects). The OTL stylus/cantilever design will
make your records sound quieter, improve the height, width, and depth of the
soundstage, and offer more detail than previously obtainable. Cartridge
Holography does exist...and that is what Grado's OTL technology is all about,
more performance. Each individual cartridge manufactured by Grado is hand assembled and tested for frequency response, channel output, channel balance, phase linearity, inductance and resistance. This meticulous care in design and construction lavished on each Grado cartridge contributes to an unchallenged consistency of performance and guarantee of reliability. |
| Grado Prestige Series | |
 The Prestige
series of cartridges are designed for high output and excellent stability under
severe use. A considerable tip mass reduction results in a frequency range to
50 kHz and beyond and tracking forces from 1-2 grams. Acclaimed by experts as
virtually the finest pickups in the world at their price.

These newly redesigned cartridges
have had their coil design reconfigured, and the effective moving mass of their
generating system has been reduced by 17%. The major differences evolve around
different cantilevers and different coil wire purity. The Black1 and Green1 models use a three piece OTL cantilever technology, standard oxygen free wire in the coils and Grado's specially designed elliptical diamond mounted in a brass bushing. The Green1 model is selected from the Black1 production run and meets higher test specifications. Approximately 15% of the production run will meet these standards and become Green1 models. The Blue1 and Red1 models use a four piece OTL cantilever technology, standard oxygen free wire in the coilsand Grado's specially designed elliptical diamond mounted on a brass bushing. The Red1 model is selected from the Blue1 production run and meets higher test specifications. Approximately 10% of the production run will meet these standards and become Red1 models. The Silver1 and gold1 models use a four piece OTL cantilever technology, ultra-high purity long crystal (UHPLC) oxygen free copper wire in the coils and Grado's specially designed elliptical diamond mounted on a brass bushing. The Gold1 model is selected from the Silver1 production run and meets higher test specifications. Approximately 5% of the production run meet these standards and become Gold1 models. |

| Grado Mono Series | |
| There are many analog
lovers with record collections that include mono albums. At Grado we strive to
have products that will fit all the needs of the analog enthusiast. So now,
Grado offers two new cartridge models in a mono version. The MC+ and the ME+
are mounted with an elliptical diamond. The ME+ uses one of GRADO's upgraded
generating systems. This will make your records quieter and enhance the musical
pleasure of these recordings. |

The Prestige model MC+ uses a
three-piece OTL cantilever technology, oxygen free wire in the coils and
a specially designed, high polished Elliptical diamond. The Prestige model ME+ uses a modified four piece OTL cantilever technology, oxygen free wire in the coils and a specially designed, high polished, Elliptical diamond. The Prestige model 78C uses a three-piece OTL cantilever technology, oxygen free wire in the coils and a specially designed, high polished 3 mil Conical diamond. Perhaps, one of the best sounding 78 cartridges. |
