Grado Master3

The Jarrah wood housing acts as a natural dampening agent. It effectively minimizes unwanted resonant frequencies, which helps the cartridge deliver a cleaner, more precise sound profile.

The Master3 is a high-output Moving Iron cartridge, so it is designed to work with standard moving magnet (MM) phono stages. Additionally, it is non-sensitive to capacitive load variations, making it easier to integrate into most existing setups.

The recommended tracking force is between 1.6 and 1.9 grams. It is important to stay within this range to ensure optimal stylus contact and to prevent unnecessary wear on your records.

The OTL (Optimized Transmission Line) cantilever technology reduces tip mass. By lowering the mass at the stylus tip, the cartridge can track record grooves more accurately, resulting in improved clarity and detail retrieval.

Yes, the Master3 features a standard 1/2-inch mounting configuration. It is compatible with the vast majority of modern and vintage tonearms that accept standard cartridge mounts.

It uses a specially designed nude elliptical diamond stylus. This shape is chosen for its ability to trace the groove walls accurately, providing a balanced frequency response across the entire spectrum.
