Reliable groove reading, accurately articulating the most delicate music signals pressed on vinyl

LUXMAN’s latest phono cartridge is the LMC-5. ,The aim was to design it to have sensitivity to all the musical information pressed onto a record. After a development period of 2 years, the LMC-5 is LUXMAN’s first original cartridge in 40 years. The MC type power generation engine features a cross-mounted iron core with a compact magnetic system to improve efficiency. For the vibration detection system, Luxman selected a combination of an aluminum cantilever and a SHIBATA stylus, which boasts excellent tracing ability. In addition, the unique housing structure was achieved by repeated prototyping and fine tuning. Luxman have developed this cartridge with confidence for all those who love vinyl and value its musicality.
