Nagaoka MP-700 Phono Cartridge

The “MP-700” incorporates a meticulous design and innovative technologies in every detail to provide all music lovers with an unprecedented emotional experience.

Addition of a magnetic flux induction plate inside the cartridge

The addition of a magnetic flux induction plate optimizes the flow of magnetic flux within the magnetic circuit. By increasing the amount of magnetic flux around the permalloy at the rear end of the cantilever, sensitivity to subtle vibrations has been improved. This makes it possible to capture a wider range of minute sounds that support spatial expression, further clarifying the sound image and localization. We invite you to look forward to a new acoustic experience brought about by the evolution of cartridge design.

Achieving both durability and beauty with “3-layer” surface treatment

The cartridge frame is made of ultra-super duralumin. In addition, three-layer surface treatment (nickel plating, black tin plating, and insulating coating) is applied to the cartridge frame and shield case, suppressing the intrusion of static electricity and achieving quietness and stability in sound quality through noise reduction. It also offers heat resistance, abrasion resistance, and chemical resistance, retaining its beauty over the long term.

The clear sound contours and stability created by the “tension wire” and “MicroRidge stylus”

Through many years of research and technology, the first tension-wire structure in the MP series has been adopted. It suppresses the effects of tracking-force fluctuations caused by warping and distortion of records, improves tracking stability, and renders the contours of sound in each frequency range more clearly. Furthermore, the use of a MicroRidge stylus not only gives sound thickness and depth, but also emphasizes the clarity of reverberation, achieving rich, deep sound quality.

The Ultimate Music Experience, for You

The MP-700 has undergone modern evolution while inheriting the tradition of the MP series. In particular, the optimization of the magnetic circuit and adoption of the tension-wire structure improve sound clarity and spaciousness, creating a richer musical experience. We hope it will become an appealing choice for many audiophiles. The “MP-700” is the crystallization of Nagaoka’s 85 years of technology and passion. Please experience it for yourself.
