About the MC Scheu
The Scheu Analog MC Scheu is a premium moving coil phono cartridge, engineered for discerning listeners who demand high resolution and natural sound reproduction. It features a minimalist, skeletal design to minimize housing resonances and maximize signal purity. The cartridge is equipped with a Namiki micro-ridge diamond stylus tip, ensuring precise tracking and long stylus life. The MC Scheu is available in different output versions, with one variant offering approximately 0.34 mV output at 3.54 cm/s, and another providing a higher output of 1.6 mV. The frequency response is nearly ruler flat from 30 Hz to 20 kHz, with a slight downward tilt—bass is about 1.5 to 2 dB above the highest treble. Notably, the high-frequency resonance peak common in many MC cartridges is almost entirely absent. Channel separation is excellent, exceeding 35 dB in the midband and still reaching 25 dB at 15 kHz. Channel balance is better than 0.5 dB, outperforming many competitors. The cartridge comes with a round spirit level, a non-magnetic screwdriver, and an individual measurement sheet.
