Hana EH MKII (High Output) MC Tonabnehmer

With the EL MkII and EH MkII models of the E Series MkII, manufacturer Hana elevates the musical enjoyment of analog playback to a new level. These two moving-coil cartridges combine the proven sonic virtues of the original E-Series with state-of-the-art innovations from the manufacturer's premium segments. Music lovers benefit from impeccable precision, outstanding build quality, and impressive dynamics – all packaged in an extremely attractive price-performance ratio.

Excellent tracking precision and natural sound

A synthetic diamond stylus with a precise elliptical cut, mounted on a lightweight aluminum cantilever, tracks the record groove. This design allows the stylus to effortlessly follow even the smallest groove modulations. A wide frequency range of 15 to 25,000 Hz guarantees fine resolution, natural warmth, and outstanding clarity and transparency across the entire frequency spectrum.

Case design and resonance optimization

The moss-green housing is visually and functionally impressive across the board. A black lacquered brass plate crowns the top of the housing, giving the system high rigidity and additional mass for a stable mechanical connection to the headshell. Integrated threaded holes noticeably simplify mounting. Furthermore, a special elastomer coating on the housing effectively dampens unwanted mechanical resonances, contributing to an unadulterated, authentic sound reproduction.

Cryogenically treated generator for highest signal purity

Inside, advanced generator technology is employed, directly derived from Hana's top-of-the-line models. All signal-carrying components of the magnetic circuit – including the yoke and pole pieces – as well as the gold-plated connection contacts undergo cryogenic treatment (deep freezing). This elaborate finishing process noticeably homogenizes the material structure, reduces magnetic distortion to a minimum, and maximizes sonic detail.
