The Prestige Series of cartridges are designed for
high output and stability under the most demanding of
conditions. All of the range use Grado's patented
Optimised Transmission Line technology which
carefully dissipates any resonances.
The Prestige range is split into three
categories:
- The Black and Green models use a three piece
cantilever system coupled to an elliptical diamond
mounted on a brass bush. Prestige
Green uses the same mechanical components as
Prestige Black but is manufactured to a higher
engineering tolerance resulting in an
extended performance.
- The Blue and Red models use an enhanced four
piece cantilever system coupled to a specially
designed elliptical diamond mounted on a brass bush.
Prestige Red uses the same mechanical components as
Prestige Blue but is manufactured to a higher
engineering tolerance resulting in a superior
performance.
- Prestige Silver and Gold represent the ultimate
in performance and economy. Both models feature a
superior four piece cantilever system coupled to a
specially designed elliptical diamond mounted on a
brass bush. At the heart of both cartridges is a
highly efficient magnet circuit utilising UHPLC
(ultra high purity long crystal) oxygen free copper
coils. Prestige Gold is manufactured by hand to a
higher engineering tolerance than Prestige Silver,
resulting in a superior performance.
