Harking back to the early recording era, Columbia Records released the first microgroove 33⅓ LP in 1948; mono records were produced up until the late ‘60s. Clearly, there is a significant catalogue of mono recordings still in use today. Even when played on a stereo setup, mono playback can give a greater sense of dynamic and energy when compared to a modern stereo recording.
Our Maroon Mono cartridge uses a large conical profile diamond, grain orientated, 0.008-0.010 of an inch, and manufactured in the UK. Optimally aligned in the armature, the conical diamond is the perfect profile to bring mono records to life. Further enhanced by the sprung steel armature, the London Decca Maroon Mono arguably sets the standard for modern world mono reply!
