HANA SL Mk2

[Transient Design]

Nu är det officiellt! Hanas nästa produkt blir en förbättrad variant av SL, SH och MONO kallad Mk 2. Detta är från grunden upp en helt ny produkt och på pappret så verkar den bli rätt mycket bättre än nuvarande SL. Samtliga nya Mk2 modeller kommer att kosta ca 9000kr till kund. Så vi har därför en kampanj på den nuvarande "mk 1" till 5900kr så långt lagret räcker. Mk2 väntas in ungefär vid nyår uppskattar jag. 

 

The Mk II upgrade to our globally best-selling Hana S series cartridges enhance both their musical performance and value. Master cartridge designer Maseo Okada implements a new tapered Aluminum cantilever with increased rigidity, resulting in a remarkable improvement transferring groove modulation from vinyl record to the cartridge generator. The S Series Mk II cartridges feature higher specified parts, advanced materials, and unique technical processes from Hana’s higher-priced elite cartridge models, furthering the Hana “brilliant and gorgeous” sound.

 

[Transient Design]

Hana S Series Mk II cartridges use a new tapered aluminum cantilever with higher rigidity, and effective mass reduction at stylus tip, resulting in enhanced clarity and music transfer from vinyl record to cartridge generator.

 

Critical parts, including the Yoke, Pole-pieces, and gold Terminal pins, have been cryogenically treated for a more natural sound.

 

Improved, non-resonant body shape, modeled after the Hana M Series, is damped with a matte Soft Feel Black elastomeric resin paint, and features a brass cap with threaded cartridge mounting fittings. The heavier Mk II cartridges offer better coupling with expanded compatibility to a wider range of tonearms, improving bass and dynamics.

 

The SL MK II generator, as found in the Umami Blue and ML, incorporates an Alnico magnet and cross-coil using high purity 30-micron copper wire with an 8Ω impedance. This improves signal to noise, reduces moving mass for higher resolution and trackability, and optimizes performance for a broader range of phono stages.
