Hana SLM MKII Mono Moving Coil Cartridge

Hana SLM MKII Mono Moving Coil Cartridge

Coming Soon

The Hana MK II upgrade to Hana’s globally best-selling Hana S series cartridges enhances their musical performance and value. Master cartridge designer Masao Okada-san implements a new tapered Aluminium cantilever with increased rigidity, resulting in a remarkable improvement in transferring groove modulation from the vinyl record to the cartridge generator. The Hana S Series MK II cartridges feature higher specified parts, advanced materials and unique technical processes from Hana’s higher-priced elite cartridge models, furthering the Hana “brilliant and gorgeous” sound.

Hana S Series MK II cartridges use a new tapered aluminium cantilever with higher rigidity and effective mass reduction at the stylus tip. This results in greater clarity and increased music transfer from vinyl records to cartridge generator. 

Critical parts, including the Yoke, Pole-pieces, and gold Terminal pins, have been cryogenically treated for a more natural sound.

The improved, non-resonant body shape, modelled after the Hana M Series, is damped with a matte Soft Feel Black elastomeric resin paint and features a brass cap with threaded cartridge mounting fittings. The heavier Hana MK II cartridges offer better coupling and expanded compatibility with a wider range of tonearms, improving bass and dynamics.

The Hana SL MONO MK II two-coil design and unique Shibata diamond needle profile will ensure you get the best possible detail and accuracy from your mono records.
