EMT "Tondose"
The legendary mc-carts from EMT
An overview of EMT “Tondosen”
Details and specifications for the T- and X- Series:
The EMT moving coil cartridges are delivered in a custom made light alloy die cast head shell. They are fitted with a magnifying glass and a small, white front screen which reflects the so called groove-light of the EMT studio turntables. Out of that, a wide and bright image of the record surface appears in the loupe for an exact positioning of the stylus. The sidewise mounted grip allows an easy handling.
Which stylus tip radius for which record?
For tracking of stereo grooves, use a Stylus with tip radius of up to 15 µm
For tracking of mono grooves, Stylus with tip radius either 15, but typically 25 µm
For tracking of standard grooves, 78 rpm: Stylus with tip radius with 65 µm or larger
The EMT Tondosen carts vary in these basic aspects:
· Mono/stereo
· Stylus (diamond or sapphire)
· Grinding shape („spherical“, „super fine line“ or „van den Hul“)
· Connection ( „EMT“- or „international/SME“-layout)
· Playback level
