The Gold Note Donatello Red is the best MC cartridge in its category. Thanks to its durable aluminium structure, solid yet extremely light – the body weighs only 7 grams to allow pairing with any tonearm – it can deliver optimal sound performance in any system.
Born from a sophisticated computer modelling design process, it leverages its optimised design to minimize weight and reduce vibrations, allowing the cantilever to achieve the best possible tracking capability.
The high-precision Micro Elliptical diamond allows for extracting every musical detail. The Donatello cartridges are available in two versions, the Gold with low output (0.5mV) and the Red with high output (1.8mV), to easily match it even with the MM phono stages.
