Pro-Ject è tornata a produrre delle testine in collaborazione con l'azienda leader dimercato in questo campo, Ortofon.La nuova testina PICK IT DS2 è il risultato di uno sviluppo congiunto tra le dueaziende. Questa testina MC con stilo ellittico nudo, è rivolta ad un veroappassionato hifi, che la saprà valorizzare al meglio all'interno della propriacatena audio. Il corpo è in poliammide realizzato tramite un processo di fusione allaser e la finitura esterna è nera opaca. Questo processo rende la testinapraticamente immune dalle risonanze. Il corpo è sorretto da una placca in metallosuperiore, ideale per essere fissata tramite le due viti in dotazione allo shell delbraccio del giradischi.
Moving Coil principle

• Optimum contact to headshell thanks to three-point pad
Moving Coil - high quality
When looking for high quality HiFi cartridges it is very obvious, that real High End systems almost exclusively use the Moving Coil principle. Because of the lower moving mass - the moving coil is a lot lighter than a moving magnet - a dynamic and detailed sound with superior low distortion is possible. The resulting lower output voltage can be compensated nowadays with the use of a high quality phono stage (such as Phono Box DS2, Tube Box DS2, Phono Box RS). Another advantage is, that because of the very low source impedance (5 Ohms to 1 kOhm) outside interferences, like hum, are surpressed very effectively. If your phono pre-amplifier has variable load impedance (like Phono Box RS, Tube Box DS2) this allows for a wide fine-tuning.
Pick-it DS2: Exceptional
Pick-it DS2 is Pro-Ject‘s current high end cartridge. The corpus is made of polyamid, which has excellent mechanical specifications. System-body and needle guard are made in a special selective laser sintering (SLS) process. Here the body is created by slowly melting the material (powder) via laser. This results in almost resonance-free material, which is an enormously important aspect for analogue playback.
Optimum attention to detail and a distortion free, musical sound are the outcome!
The four connectors on the back are gold-plated, the threaded holes offer a fast and efficient mounting. The massive metal plate with three contact-points offers best possible contact to the tonearm.
