About the SPU Royal N

The Ortofon SPU Royal N is a premium SPU-series moving coil phono cartridge designed for audiophiles seeking an exquisite listening experience. It incorporates Ortofon's unique Nude Replicant 100 stylus with reduced tip mass for open and detailed sound reproduction. Electrum coils, made from a gold and silver alloy, ensure uncolored and precise transmission of armature movements, complemented by a modified damping system that reduces vertical tracking force (VTF) and enhances linearity. High-purity 6-nines copper wiring preserves microdynamic details. Unlike integrated headshell models like the Royal GM, the Royal N is sold without a headshell, allowing mounting on traditional headshells via the SPU N adaptor for compatibility with a wider range of tonearms. It delivers the classic SPU holistic sound with increased resolution, refined tracking, and superior microdynamics, making it ideal for vintage SPU enthusiasts and modern setups.
