Clean, Expressive Playback
With a boron cantilever and elliptical stylus, the MP-300H excels at tracking grooves with accuracy and subtlety. It delivers excellent tonal balance with smooth treble, rich mids, and firm bass, all without sounding clinical. The cartridge’s high channel separation and precise balance make instruments sound clearly positioned and emotionally expressive, whether you’re listening to chamber music or contemporary jazz.
Beyond Refinement
The MP-300H builds on the musical balance of the MP-200H with added definition, control, and clarity.

The machined aluminium body minimises resonance, helping create a cleaner signal path.
