The Charisma Audio Model G-3 is a reference moving coil (MC) phono cartridge engineered for analog enthusiasts seeking exceptional clarity, fast transient response, and precise stereo imaging. Featuring a high-rigidity sapphire cantilever and a low-mass pure iron cross-coil assembly, it delivers articulate dynamics and low distortion across the audible frequency spectrum.
Fitted with a precision elliptical nude diamond stylus, the Model G-3 offers accurate groove tracking and impressive channel separation (> 30 dB at 1 kHz). Designed for medium-mass tonearms, it operates with a delicate tracking force centered around 1.35 grams, providing ideal compliance (15 µm/mN) for superior high-end vinyl playback and gentle record care.
KEY FEATURES
- Sapphire Cantilever: Employs an ultra-rigid sapphire cantilever for minimal deflection, fast acoustic transmission speed, and low resonance.
- Precision Elliptical Stylus: Outfitted with an elliptical nude diamond stylus (r/R = 5/15 µm) for accurate groove tracing and detailed frequency reproduction.
- Pure Iron Cross Coil: Low-mass pure iron cross-coil generator maintains high signal purity and wide dynamic bandwidth.
- Optimized Dynamic Compliance: Rated at 15 µm/mN for excellent resonance matching with medium-mass tonearm systems.
- Refined Tracking Capabilities: Operates efficiently at an optimal 1.35 g tracking force while delivering strong 70 µm tracking performance at 315 Hz.
