NAGAOKA / MP-700H MP type stereo cartridge with headshell

The MP-700 inherits the tradition of the MP series while evolving for the modern age. In particular, improved magnetic circuitry and the adoption of a tension wire structure improve sound clarity and spaciousness, creating a richer musical experience. We hope it will be an attractive choice for many audiophiles. The MP-700 is the culmination of Nagaoka's technology and passion, built up over 85 years of history. Experience it for yourself.

1. Addition of a magnetic flux induction plate inside the cartridge

Adding a magnetic flux induction plate improves the efficiency of magnetic flux flow within the magnetic circuit.

Increasing the amount of magnetic flux around the permalloy at the rear end of the cantilever improves sensitivity to weak vibrations.

This enables a wider capture of subtle sounds that support spatial expression, resulting in clearer sound imaging and positioning.

Look forward to the new sonic experience brought about by the evolution of the cartridge structure.

2. ""Three-layer"" surface treatment achieves both durability and beauty

Ultra-super duralumin is used for the cartridge frame.

Furthermore, three-layer surface treatment (nickel plating, black tin plating, and insulating coating) is applied to the cartridge frame and shielding case to suppress the intrusion of static electricity and reduce noise, resulting in quieter and more stable sound quality.

It also combines heat resistance, abrasion resistance, and chemical resistance, ensuring its beauty will last for a long time.

3. Tension wire and microridge stylus create clear sound definition and stability.

The MP Series is the first to feature a tension wire structure, the result of years of research and technology.

This minimizes the effects of stylus pressure changes caused by warping or distortion in the record, improving tracing stability and producing clearer sound definition across each frequency range.

Furthermore, the use of a microridge stylus not only adds thickness and depth to the sound, but also enhances the clarity of reverberation, resulting in a rich, full-bodied sound quality.
