ZYX

The world's first High-speed generation system
Eddy currents which occurs in generation system raises the magnetic impedance in the circuit and affects to the transient response of the sound signal, and as a result, the reproduced sound is badly deteriorated. Eddy currents which occur on a pair of opposite pole faces (N pole, S pole) reverse phase each other. There should be a solution to eliminate such eddy currents.
However, ZYX has discovered that there are two pairs of the eddy currents existing in the magnetic circuit and therefore, it is necessary to neutralize and eliminate these two pairs of the eddy currents at once. The “Premium” series cartridges are equipped with a new “Balanced type eddy current elimination mechanism” which we developed to solve this problem, and succeeded to reproduce an accurate time axis of the sound signal by non-magnetic impedance.

Employment of a new suspension wire
The new material which was not thought about in the past are developed one after another. One of them is a thin and tough material while being flexible.
The suspension wire of MC cartridge is to hold and position the fulcrum of the rotary vibration of the cantilever, and a hard metal wire like piano wire has been commonly used conventionally.
Instead of a hard metal wire, we employed in Premium series new optimal material without aging, tough and of superior temperature characteristics. This brought an improvement in tracking ability and a sense of pitch that soaks into a soul. As a result, the true analog sound of Premium series was further improved in the sense of reality.

“REAL STEREO” Generator System
world's first 15 vital design points as our know-hows

The Most Superior Cantilever
Airy3 series uses an ideal Boron Solid Cantilever. which creates a cantilever of the lowest mass, the highest rigidity and the fastest response to the most dynamic.
