Cartridges — HANA MH

The MH is a moving-coil phono cartridge from HANA, a well-established Japanese manufacturer known for accomplished, value-focused analogue playback engineering, built with a sophisticated Microline stylus on an aluminium cantilever. The MH brings HANA's considered engineering to a serious analogue playback front end.

Key specs that matter

The cartridge uses a moving-coil design with a sophisticated Microline stylus profile mounted on an aluminium cantilever. Coil construction uses high-purity copper. Frequency response spans a wide 12Hz to 45,000Hz within plus-or-minus 3dB. Channel separation is 30dB at 1,000Hz. Weight is 16.3g.

Sound and use context

Expect an accurate, detailed tracking performance reflecting the sophisticated Microline stylus combined with the high-purity copper coils, consistent with HANA's broader accomplished, value-focused analogue engineering philosophy.

Pairing

Buyers should confirm output voltage and recommended loading directly with HANA to match a compatible phono stage.

Alternatives

HANA's own Umami Black offers a more accomplished alternative with a diamond cantilever within the same broader cartridge catalogue.
