Phasemation PP-500

The Phasemation PP-500 MC Cartridge accurately inherits the lineage of Phasemation's flagship cartridge PP-2000, which achieved popularity after its release at the end of 2015.

While Phasmation reduced the cost, they have ensured the PP-2000's fundamental performances such as the auditory lateralization, spatial reproducibility, medium-higher tone having high freshness, and lower tone resonance.

Immerse yourself in the exciting and relaxed world of music of Phasemation Analog creations. The new PP-500 pickup system impresses with its unbridled joy of playing and homogeneity, preserving the expression of pure musical joie de vivre and intense passion. The proven basic construction with the elaborate duralumin body and the hard DLC (Diamond Like Carbon) surface alloy is also used in the new PP-500 pickup, there are differences in the still high-purity coil material used and the samarium cobalt magnets with higher flux density. The magnetic circle of the flagship model PP-2000 is used here as well as the vibration-optimized design of the scanning system using the high-quality materials that are also used in the PP-2000.

The Phasemation PP-500 pickup system harmonizes optimally with medium to heavy tone arms.

New Magnetic Circuit Design

The technology of the flagship model PP-2000 is applied the PP-500's magnetic circuit structure. Therefore, just like PP-2000, the PP-500 an excellent magnetic field with high efficiency and uniformity.

Consequently, the output is increased without making the vibration system heavier.

Improved Trackability by Readjusting the Vibration System

In order to aim for optimum sound quality in this class, Phasemation improved the PP-300's vibration system, adopting the base made of duralumin and tuned it exclusively for the PP-500.

Inheriting the High Quality Materials for HiFi Audio

High quality materials for high fidelity sound verified in PP-2000 and other models are inherited and they are well-acknowledged until now for the following parts: cantilever made of pure boron material, magneto coil made of 6N oxygen-free copper wire, pure iron coil bobbin, damper, and so forth.

For the body, the well-acknowledged Diamond Like Carbon (DLC)* coating has been adopted continuously. The unclouded sound quality being well suited for the rigidity and vibration-damping properties have been realized.

*DLC(Diamond Like Carbon)is a generic name of a carbon film to be produced with vapor phase synthesis utilizing ion processing and the high rigidity and high electric insulation similar to a diamond are provided for it.
