MCA

About the MCA

The Miyabi MCA is a highly sought-after low output moving coil cartridge designed by the late Haruo Takeda, a legendary cartridge builder. It features Alnico magnets and copper coils, contributing to its organic and natural sound signature. The cartridge has a frequency response range from 10 Hz to 50 kHz and an output voltage of approximately 0.25 mV with an internal impedance of 4 ohms. The recommended tracking force is around 1.8 grams. The MCA is known for its rarity and high performance, often requiring a high-quality phono stage or step-up transformer due to its low output. It is appreciated for its detailed and dynamic sound reproduction, suitable for audiophiles seeking a refined analog playback experience.
