{"product_id":"mutech-rm-hayate-stereo-mc-phono-cartridge","title":"Mutech RM-Hayate Stereo MC Phono Cartridge","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Mutech Hayate is the newest ring-magnet cartridge, and the most refined ever made. Numerous small changes have been made. The result is greater continuity, being able to follow musical lines with ease, but without the aggression of most “highly detailed” cartridges. You hear everything, but it is connected and organic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Hayate continues the trend of healthy output with very low source impedance. The lower the impedance, the less inherent noise is generated. Johnson–Nyquist noise (also called thermal noise), increases as the impedance increases. For ultimate fidelity, the cartridge, cables\/leads, and input impedance of the phono stage should be as low as possible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Notes from Mutech\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEiji Kanda, the founder of MUTECH, passed away in 2020.\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eHAYATE\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eis produced by Hiroki Kajihara of Kajihara Lab Co. who inheriting Mr. Kanda’s will and technical knowledge. The cartridges are manufactured by Hiroko Ishiyama according Eiji Kanda’s Blueprint.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Ring Magnet Structure is not the Ortofon type Magnet Structure which has the core material placed in a virtual magnetic field created by two yokes. A Ring Magnet structure has the core material placed inside the magnetic field produced by a tubular neodymium magnet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur special core material named “SS-μM”, is placed inside an N50 magnet, one of the strongest magnetic materials made, maximizing output of the core material. Additionally, we plated the magnetic materials with gold to prevent oxidation and deterioration of the magnetic circuit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cantilever is boron, and the stylus tip is a line contact needle. A new thicker OFC material has been adopted for the coil, and by using a single-layer winding, inductance has been minimized for improved high frequency performance. Single-layer windings also prevent capacitive coupling between winding turns, preventing changes in frequency response.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cartridge pin construction was reviewed and new OFC materials from Proterial Metals, Ltd has been adopted. The pin plating has been reviewed and has changed from rhodium to gold plating. This gold plating by Cross Point Ltd. is special thick one. Gold has lower resistance than rhodium, and is a better choice since almost all cartridge clips are gold plated. Whenever possible, it is better when both connections are made of the same material.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA new, dedicated solder was developed for connecting the terminals and coil lead wires, which has also succeeded in improving the dynamic range and low-frequency reproduction. This solder allows good connections to the gold plated surfaces without “gold poisoning” of the solder joint.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Specifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eModel Name\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRM-HAYATE (颯 \/ Hayate)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eType\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMoving Coil (MC) Phono Cartridge\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePower Generation Method\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYokeless Ring Magnet MC Cartridge\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOutput Voltage\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e0.45mV (1kHz, 3.45cm\/sec)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended Tracking Force\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1.8–2.0g\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrequency Response\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e10Hz–45kHz\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInternal Impedance\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1.75Ω\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChannel Separation (Crosstalk)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e≥30dB (1kHz)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChannel Balance\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e≤0.5dB (1kHz)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStylus Profile\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLine Contact\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCantilever\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eφ0.3mm Solid Boron\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTerminal Pins\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOFC Copper with Special Thick Gold Plating\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e7.4g\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mutech","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51948716687681,"sku":"MUT-RM-HAYATE","price":6990.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0993\/2636\/1921\/files\/m01_1.jpg?v=1783506639","url":"https:\/\/www.magentaaudio.com.au\/products\/mutech-rm-hayate-stereo-mc-phono-cartridge","provider":"Magenta Audio","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
