The EL variant utilises a similar construction to it's EH brethren, swapping it's high output nature for a low output configuration instead. Equipped with a high rigidity aluminium cantilever, armed with a quality Elliptical diamond stylus and configured with the cross-shaped armature. This allows for true clarity and transparency, with the added benefit of supreme trackability. The body of the cartridge itself is a composite plastic material, dark green in colour, that's been used by Hana specifically for its anti-resonant capabilities. This low output moving coil cartridge is competitively priced, beautifully built and offers an output of 0.5mv/1kHz.
