About the Red3 Phono
The Grado Red3 is a high-performance moving magnet phono cartridge from Grado's Prestige Series, hand-assembled in Brooklyn by experienced artisans. It uses a four-piece OTL cantilever with a Grado-specific elliptical diamond stylus mounted on a brass bushing. The cartridge employs Grado's patented Optimized Transmission Line technology to reduce unwanted resonances and distortion, resulting in quieter records, improved soundstage height, width, and depth, and greater detail. The Red3 features a twin magnet system for optimal stereo channel balance and precise stereo imaging, with coil winding techniques using ultra high purity copper wire for electrical circuit unison. It offers excellent tonal balance, dynamics, and realism, making it ideal for reproducing vocals and instruments with clarity and warmth. The cartridge is compatible with P-mount or 1/2'' screw mount tonearms and has a low effective moving mass for excellent frequency response across the audible range. The Red3 is a hand-selected subset of the Blue3 production run, meeting higher specifications for superior performance.
