SKYANALOG P1M MC CARTRIDGE

SKYANALOG P1M MC CARTRIDGE

Skyanalog P1M capsule has a black aluminum housing, in which an Al stylus MC type motor with a Fineline diamond stylus profile has been installed. The collection needle has a 5x50um grind. The needle axis was placed at an angle of 20 degrees to the end of the bobbin body. The manufacturer recommends the 8.9g pill for light heavy arms, with an effective weight of 11-14g. The output voltage is 0.4 mV at a rate of 3.54 vm/s. The internal resistance of the pure copper crossover winding is 6.5 ohms, which should be terminated between 100 and 220 ohms per manufacturer’s recommendations. The pickup’s frequency response is accurate to +/-1dB between 20Hz and 20Khz, while channel separation is better than 30dB at 1Khz and channel balance is better than 0.5dB, which is an excellent value. The recommended needle pressure is 1.6 to 2.0 g, the recommended optimal value is 1.8 g.

The van’s break-in period is about 30 hours at an average temperature of 23 degrees. The pickup box also includes screws and an Allen key for easy installation.

Their sound is open, airy, flowing, yet pleasingly analog. Its full-bodied low-end doesn’t settle into the music, but at the same time follows the silky, well-articulated tonality of the midrange with appropriate rhythmicity. The high end is not especially bright, with an exaggerated character, but it has a sufficiently airy resolution, so that the jazz-acoustic genre is not a problem, as well as lighter pop-rock music.

To make the best possible use of the sound quality, it is worth pairing it with quality phono preamps.
