Low-output MC cartridge: 0.5 mV, nude Shibata diamond, aluminium cantilever, 5 grams.

The SL puts out 0.5 mV at 1 kHz with a 30 ohm coil. That level calls for an MC phono stage or a step-up transformer, loaded from 400 ohms. In return, the low-impedance coil keeps the noise floor very low. Tracking force is set at 2 grams.
The nude Shibata diamond sits on an aluminium cantilever. It covers 15 Hz to 32 kHz, with 28 dB of channel separation and channel balance within 1.5 dB at 1 kHz. The black body weighs 5 grams, light enough for low-mass tonearms to balance without added weight.
