ZYX only succeeded in development of a MC cartridge which does reproduce original stereo sound with a perfect sound balance between the left and right channel.

Diamond Cantilever
The R-1000∑2 utilizes a State-of-the-Art cantilever design using a square diamond rod (□0.22mm). This creates a cantilever of low mass, the highest rigidity and superior dampening that allows the R-1000∑2 to track and respond to the most dynamic passage with great accuracy and extremely low resonance. In addition, this light and rigid diamond cantilever provides the quickest sound transmission of any material, allowing the fastest time response of the magnetic circuit.

Super High speed reproduction engine (magnetic circuit)
R-1000 AIRY S use cryogenically treated 5-N silve wire made in USA. It can easily make the sound to extend high range and be transparent mid and low range.

6N Crystallized Copper Wire Generator Coils
The R-1000∑2 X uses ideal coil wire for the first time in the world. It has been developed for ZYX by both a wire manufacture and a processing company of cryogenic treatment in Y2002. The wire consists of pure crystals of copper, and that are systematically aligned. You will listen this incredibly natural and real sound, and will enjoy Airy sound presence in extremely wide audible range.

Pure Silver Wire Generator Coils
The R-1000 ∑2 S uses 5-nine silver wire made in USA . As the silver has the best conductivity, it can easily sound extended high range smoothly and transparent mid and low range with excellent sound quality. Besides the cryogenic treatment gives the sound more dynamic and airy.

Pure Gold Wire Generator Coils
The R-1000∑2 G uses pure gold wire made in USA. Why are the sounds so real, natural and smooth over the whole range? There is no coloration at the sound at all. So you will be able to feel real piano, strings and vocal sounds just front of you.

Air Response Damper Mechanism
Individual damper units are used in the R-1000∑2 and are arranged so that restoration forces acting in one plane are not coupled to the other plane. This gives the cartridge an extremely fast response and its characteristic clear sound images.
