Hana or 華 means “brilliant and gorgeous” in Japanese. Hana Phono Cartridges use high-rigidity aluminum cantilevers, and cross-shaped armatures, giving listeners a brilliant and gorgeous sound.
Hana cartridges are produced by Excel Sound Corporation (ESC)) of Tokyo Japan, an established 50-year old company. In 2015 they finally launched their own brand range of cartridges called "Hana" - 華. ESC pride themselves on their manufacturing quality and quality controls at every stage, ensuring that their hand-made cartridges offer consistently perfect results.
The Hana EL cartridge has a synthetic Elliptical diamond stylus fitted to a high rigidity aluminium cantilever with cross-shaped armature, offering super transparency and excellent trackability. The body is manufactured from a composite low resonance plastic material in dark green.
This competitively priced Low output moving coil cartridge offers great quality sound referenced against similar priced cartridges. The EL (Elliptical Low output) offers 0.5mv/1KHz output.
