Miyabi (Elnic Sound Lab)

About Miyabi (Elnic Sound Lab)

Miyabi is a renowned high-fidelity audio brand recognized for its handcrafted moving-coil (MC) cartridges, which are celebrated for their realistic timbre, exceptional dynamics, and lifelike soundstage reproduction. Designed primarily by Haruo Takeda, Miyabi cartridges—such as the Miyabi Standard and Miyabi/47—are considered world-class for their ability to convey the emotional core of music, combining natural tonal purity with precise detail and low noise. Miyabi cartridges have been praised for their unique construction and collaboration with other respected audio companies but are no longer in current production. The brand is sometimes referenced as Miyabi (Elnic Sound Lab), though direct links to a distinct Elnic Sound Lab entity for Miyabi are not established in available contemporary records.
