The Benz Micro Philosophy: Mastering the Moving Coil Signal
For decades, Benz Micro has been renowned for hand-crafting some of the world’s finest Moving Coil (MC) cartridges in Switzerland. Indeed, their meticulous process involves winding coils by hand and assembling each unit under intense magnification. The Benz Micro sonic signature earns praise for its organic warmth, rich tonal texture, and exceptional musical flow. Furthermore, these qualities appeal strongly to both tube amplifier and solid-state enthusiasts.
Benz Micro MC Cartridges
Benz Micro Gullwing
The Gullwing is a hybrid design that features a non-resonant brass frame, a streamlined open-air design, and a high-power neodymium magnet. In addition, the cartridge offers airy detail and transparency without sacrificing the characteristic Benz Micro tonal warmth. Consequently, it provides an ideal balance of musicality and resolution.
Benz Micro LPS
The flagship Benz Micro LPS (Low-Output Pure Silver) is considered the ultimate expression of the Benz Micro sound. It features a massive brass frame for superior coupling to the tonearm, an aged ebony wood body for dampening, and a low-mass ruby plate generator. Therefore, audiophiles particularly regard the LPS for its deep, controlled low-frequency performance and vast dynamic contrast.
