JICO Clipper MM – a Cartridge With a Conical S-Shaped Cantilever
Japanese company JICO has introduced a cartridge with a moving magnet (MM) JICO Clipper MM – the body of the new product is one piece with the head-shell and is equipped with a handle located on top. JICO Clipper MM is equipped with the world's first conical aluminium S-shaped cantilever – an innovation inspired by the Audio Empire and Swing styli. The conical design reduces the mass at the end, which ensures more accurate transmission of stylus vibrations.
The JICO Clipper MM cartridge offers a modular design with maximum user flexibility - it is compatible with JICO N44-7, N44G, CRCP/MK1 replacement inserts and SHURE 44-series replacement pickup stylus, including JICO ND (Nude Diamond), SD (Synthetic Diamond), MORITA (Wood Cantilever) and SAS, as well as vintage SHURE pickup stylus. The JICO Clipper MM cartridge body is made of high-gloss black UVCRM resin with a sleek, aerodynamic design reminiscent of an airplane tail.
The frequency range of the JICO Clipper MM cartridge is from 20 Hz to 20 kHz; the output voltage ranges from 5 to 8 mV, and the channel separation reaches 20 dB. The JICO Clipper MM cartridge is available now with a suggested retail price of $500.
