lO-M draws out of your discs richer strings sound, more real sound stage, more natural voice, wider dynamic range, and much more musical details. You will note very stable sounds thanks to the very firm structures. Some more development based on the acoustic dynamics point of view led us to realize the completely new structure. It has brought us much higher quality of sound.

In order to draw IO-M's best performance, we recommend use of our new preamplifiers M7 or ONGAKU developed with enhanced technology which were taken in our latest amplifier engineering. Resultantly, drawing out of analog discs fresh sounds, which could never been imagined in the past, has become possible. So sensible people in the world will be more excited with these new gears.

SPECIFICATIONS Cartridge type: Moving Coil Output Voltage: 0.12mV(1KHz,5cm per second) Channel balance: within 1dB at 1KHz Channel separation: greater than 25dB at 1KHz Source impedance: 1 Ohm Compliance: 60 × 10-6 cm/Dyne Tracking pressure: 2.0 ± 0.2g Weight: 11g

FEATURES

1. From the coil windings to the output pins, only a pure silver path is used. The coil windings are made from silver that has been age annealed for ten years to provide mellowness for total music enjoyment
2.The magnetic circuit The IO-M uses a high performance AI-NiCo Magnet. The thick yoke is made from a soft iron with of very low carbon content. The iron is milled into the precise shape, rather than pressing in eider to prevent damage to the materials crystal structure. After milling the yoke is annealed to further assist in creating a smoothly controlled magnetic path.
