Vertere Acoustics Sabre MM Cartridge
VERTERE ACOUSTICS SABRE MM CARTRIDGE LAUNCHED
Touraj Moghaddam Vertere’s founder and chief designer, has announced a new high-end Moving Magnet cartridge, the Vertere Acoustics Sabre.
VERTERE ACOUSTICS SABRE
The Vertere Acoustics Sabre sits between the budget Magneto MM cartridge and the Mystic MC cartridge.
MOVING MAGNET CARTRIDGE
The aluminium alloy body is CNC precision-machined. The body is mass-tuned to the generator for optimum support and control of unwanted mechanical vibrations. Sabre utilises an Alnico magnet with its suspension individually positioned and aligned. The generator is uniquely fixed to the body via four ‘spike’ screws precisely positioned and torqued for maximum rigidity and performance. No adhesives are used in mounting the generator to the cartridge body.
MICRO-ELLIPTICAL DIAMOND STYLUS
The Micro-Elliptical diamond stylus tip is bonded to an aluminium tube cantilever designed for maximum tracking ability without compromising high-frequency response or increased surface noise. The body is threaded to accept the supplied stainless steel thumbscrews for correct coupling of the cartridge body to the tonearm headshell. Three specifically designed contact areas machined into the top of the body provide the exact mechanical coupling required.
On the front top of the cartridge is an alignment ridge that assists mounting Sabre to any Vertere tonearm. The cartridge has a wideband frequency response of below 15Hz to above 25kHz and an output of 4.0mV.
VERTERE ACOUSTICS SABRE MM CARTRIDGE PRICE
Vertere Acoustics Sabre has a retail price of £845, $1199 and €1148 in the UK, USA and Europe respectively.
