Description

The Grado Prestige Red +2 Cartridge uses a four piece OTL cantilever with a Grado specific elliptical diamond stylus mounted on a brass bushing. Grado use a machined turned generator to achieve a lower distortion and greater transparency.

Optimised Transmission Line

Grado’s OTL, or optimized transmission line, technology provides an ideal signal transfer from the LP surface to the system’s generator.

This technology rejects unwanted resonances and lowers distortion preserving the fundamental and harmonic frequencies of the music. This also helps keep noise generated by the motor system in the Red +2 cartridge to a minimum.

Stylus and Cantilever

Grado’s OTL stylus/cantilever design makes records quieter, improves the soundstage’s width, and presents more detail than previously obtainable.

Made In Brooklyn

The Grado Prestige Red +2 are all hand assembled by our team in Brooklyn, with some builders having over 25 years of experience. With the recent development of the highly received Lineage Series of cartridges, we were able to have a trickle down of technology and bring some new techniques to the Red +2 Cartridge.

Copper Wire Coil Winding

This updated series of cartridges offers excellent tonal balance, dynamics, and realism, for a most rewarding reproduction of vocals and instruments. Our coil winding techniques, using ultra high purity copper wire which were honed during the development of the Lineage Series, have let the electrical circuits achieve unison between the four coils in each phono cartridge. This allows for a precise balance between channels and accurate stereo imaging.

Twin Magnet System

A twin magnet system powers the Prestige Red +2 that optimizes the balance between stereo channels. All internal magnetic circuit parts are held to extremely high tolerances creating the desired stereo imaging. Grado’s patented Flux-Bridger design allows the Red +2 cartridge to have one of the lowest effective moving mass generating systems while creating an excellent balance throughout the full frequency range.
