Description
The Pick it MC1 features a very light stylus and coil assembly, which allows for a broader frequency range and better transient response. This results in more detailed reproduction and improved resolution of low-level signals. The lower source impedance also reduces sensitivity to external influences, minimizing hum and delivering a cleaner sound. Due to its lower output (typically around 20dB less than MM cartridges), a high-quality phono stage is recommended for optimal performance.
Ultimate Price-Performance Ratio
The Pick it MC1 cartridge offers an exceptional entry-level solution for music lovers looking to upgrade to moving coil technology. Designed to provide enhanced audio clarity, stereo imaging, and transparency, it significantly outperforms MM cartridges. The resonance-optimized ABS enclosure ensures minimal vibration, while its medium compliance makes it a perfect match for most entry-level to mid-range turntables, providing an affordable yet high-quality upgrade to your vinyl setup.
Features and Specifications
This all-new Pro-Ject Pick it MC1 cartridge includes a neodymium N40H magnet, a square generator coil, and 6N OFC pure copper windings.

Ideal for those seeking a musical, all-purpose cartridge, the Pick it MC1 offers an affordable entry into the world of moving coil cartridges, with superb sound quality and value.
