The Charisma Audio Model P-2 is a reference moving coil (MC) phono cartridge designed to deliver high resolution, exceptional dynamic punch, and precise tonal accuracy. Built around an ultra-rigid boron cantilever and a low-mass pure iron cross-coil assembly, it translates subtle groove modulations into a vivid, realistic soundstage with minimal mechanical distortion.
Featuring a fine diamond stylus and strict manufacturing tolerances, the Model P-2 achieves outstanding channel separation (>30 dB at 1 kHz) and tight channel balance within 0.5 dB. Weighing 8.9 grams with a dynamic compliance of 10 µm/mN, it integrates seamlessly with medium-mass tonearms, operating at a recommended tracking force centered around 1.8 grams for accurate tracking and extended vinyl longevity.
KEY FEATURES
- Boron Cantilever: Employs an ultra-stiff boron cantilever for high acoustic transmission speed, extremely low mass, and minimal flex.
- Precision Diamond Stylus: Premium nude diamond stylus profile provides accurate tracking of complex high-frequency passages and detailed micro-dynamics.
- Pure Iron Cross Coil: Low-mass coil topology delivers high channel separation, low distortion, and natural tonal balance.
- Enhanced Tracking Performance: Achieves exceptional 80 µm tracking ability at 315 Hz for stable performance during challenging musical peaks.
- Medium-Mass Tonearm Synergy: Perfectly weighted at 8.9 g to match medium-mass tonearms and standard phono preamplifiers requiring 200–470 Ω loading.
