Pro-Ject Pick it MM EVO Cartridge

Pick it MM EVO – Next Generation Moving Magnet Cartridge

The Pick it MM EVO sets new standards for moving magnet cartridges, combining outstanding dynamics with a high output of 7 mV. Developed by the cartridge experts at Ortofon and meticulously tuned by the Pro-Ject Audio Systems design team, this system offers exceptionally detailed sound reproduction with a wide soundstage.

The special elliptical stylus tip ensures precise tracking and fine signal resolution. The robust cantilever, also used in high-end DJ systems, guarantees both durability and a consistent sound experience. Ortofon's split-pole pins enable a linear frequency response comparable to that of moving-coil systems, ensuring high fidelity with minimal distortion.

The Pick it MM EVO is ideally suited for light to medium tonearm masses and delivers a vibrant, dynamic sound. Mounting is simple thanks to the ½-inch thread, and the replaceable stylus ensures long-term usability. Made in Europe, this cartridge combines quality, precision, and robustness.
