Benz Micro
ACE S MC Cartridge Available in 0.4mV, 2.6mV and 0.8mV versions The Benz ACE is one of our favorite budget phono cartridges. Based on the generator system and stylus assembly of the Benz Glider with a protective acrylic body, the ACE is a handmade cartridge, one of the only hand-built cartridges at this price point! This is a true music lover's cartridge, warm and natural through the mid-range, with great bottom-end extension and silky smooth high frequencies. If you just want to play record after record with a big smile on your face...the ACE is the cartridge for you!
The Benz ACE is simple to install and is available in three different outputs to match any phono-stage.
