Grado PLATINUM3 MI Pickup

The Grado Platinum 3 and Sonata 3 pickups are optimised in the thermal process and resonance-optimised housing made of Jarrah wood. The wood species native to Australia is even 25% harder than oak, giving the pickups exactly the damping properties that Grado needs for its noble wood models. The tip of the needle carrier has been reduced by 10% in weight compared to the Prestige series. This allows for fine dynamics that you don't otherwise know from these price ranges. Not without reason, even these unrivalled Grado Wood systems have an excellent reputation. Their natural sound and especially authentic voice reproduction are at a level that makes playing vinyl records an emotional experience. Ultimately, but the diamonds cut according to Grado specification also contribute significantly to musically. While an elliptical diamond sits on the 4-piece needle carrier of the Grado Platinum 3, a nake, elliptical cut was installed for the Grado Sonata 3.

Both moving iron pickups are available with either 1.0 mV output voltage for MC phono inputs or in the 4.8 mV version for MM phono inputs.
