Carrying the same design philosophy and craftsmanship as our higher-end models, it delivers the characteristic Dynavector sound — open, natural, and remarkably low in distortion — at an accessible price point.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA record’s grooves carry extraordinarily fine information, captured as microscopic vibrations. To faithfully convert them into electrical signals, precise engineering and careful fine-tuning are essential to unlock what MC cartridges are truly known for: the lifelike presence and realism of analogue playback, a spacious and three-dimensional soundstage, and a natural tonal balance from top to bottom.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn analogue playback even the most minute deviation is enough to affect the sound. That is why every stage of ASKA’s production, from moulding, cutting and heat treatment through to plating, assembly and final adjustment is carried out entirely in Japan in collaboration with highly skilled partners. Each cartridge is hand-assembled and individually inspected, ensuring that every ASKA is built and adjusted to the same uncompromising standard as the rest of the Dynavector cartridges.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSpecifications:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eType: High\/Low output moving coil cartridge with flux damper and softened magnetism\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOutput Voltage: 2.8 mV \/ 0.3 mV (at 1KHz, 5cm\/sec.)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eChannel Separation: 25 dB (at 1KHz)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eChannel balance: 1.0 dB (at 1KHz)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFrequency response: 20 – 20,000 Hz（±2dB）\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCompliance: 12 mm\/N\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTracking force: 1.8 – 2.2 g\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eImpedance: 150 ohms \/ 5 ohms\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRecommended load impedance: \u0026gt; 1,000 ohms \/ \u0026gt; 30 ohms\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCantilever: 6mm length hardened aluminium pipe\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eStylus tip: Elliptical\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWeight: 5.8 g\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dynavector","offers":[{"title":"Low Output","offer_id":45097891823857,"sku":"","price":650.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"High Output","offer_id":46209071186161,"sku":"","price":650.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0942\/5024\/files\/Dynavector-Aska-With-Headshell-noteworthyaudio-1000x.jpg?v=1779016262","url":"https:\/\/www.noteworthyaudio.com\/products\/dynavector-aska-mc-cartridge","provider":"Noteworthy Audio","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
